Work is crazy, the weather is rainy, my kitty was sick and in addition 3 of our home computers stopped working this week! I am so happy this week is over and really looking forward to the weekend... (the kitty is fine now
I have started to take inventory of what I wear every day so I can see if I have more wardrobe "almost" orphans. I have decided the hanger trick will not work for me because while it shows WHAT I wore it will not show HOW OFTEN. So I decided to use an Excel spreadsheet where I have listed my wardrobe items to record what I wear and haw many times a month. We will see how it is going!

Last weekend was nice and sunny, we did not know what a gloomy rainy week is ahead
Gap sweater, Danier leather jacket, Paige Canyoh Flare jeans, Naya burgundy boots.

Suz's amazing spring white outfit inspired me that day. I am afraid it did not look as striking as hers but I tried This was also the first outing of my new
Martin trousers from BR which I decided to keep after Angie's blessing. They are straight legs but I wonder if I should taper them a bit...what do you think?
White Danier leather jacket, Tahari white shirt, BR Martin balck trousers, SE python booties.

...sweater which is turning to be another orphan. The reason - sleeves stretch a lot when scrunched up to the point they don't stay up. I really like the color - brown with gold lurex - but would prefer a better fabrication and boxier fit.
Here is it paired with Halogen yellow skirt, BP cognac boots and CK belt

I like these trousers but really struggle with the length and now tighter fit on the calves after we tapered legs a bit. Thinking of undoing the tapering to make them more comfortable to wear. Love the jacket however, what a great quality and look - long enough for me!:-)
Jessica trousers (Sears), Halogen silk shell, BR Monogram tuxedo jacket, MK animal print belt, Naya burgundy boots.

They promised a freezing rain so I went for skinnies + boots formula.
Missoni for Target tunic, BR black Martin skinny pants, Franco Sarto grey boots.

Remember I complained on the fit of those Gap BF jeans last week? My mom altered them a bit - took them in in the waist (I still can take them off without unzipping though) and made the back a bit shorter - that extra inch of fabric was bunching on the back and drove me crazy. I felt much more comfortable in them today.
I realized what is my tolerance level for slouchy fit now. I need to have the jeans loose but still fitted on the top part of my hips and bum and then they can be looser and sloucher on the bottom part and on my thighs. I cannot stand them bunching under the belt, they need lay smoothly there. I don't know if it makes any sense to anybody but myself though Anyway newly altered BF jeans fit very closely to that now which makes me much happier!
Gap 'YLF' chunky sweater, Gap BF jeans, Naya burgundy boots. I have also included a picture with my trench as a bonus
As usual any comments and suggestions are very much appreciated.
Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!
