This week I happened to have planned out my work outfits over the weekend, which I rarely ever do. The week turned out quite hectic, stressful, and energy sucking so I was very, very relieved to have all of my outfits already sorted each morning! And that they had plenty of white, which makes me happy. I only had to modify one from the original plan (#4). Next week is going to be the same, and I am quite happy that we have the movie poster challenge so that I can plan everything in advance again. After that, though, I'm back to my usual mood dressing each morning ^^ Feel free to skip down to the photos!
#1 Monday. Warm enough to pull out my transitional slouchy shorts, which I decided to style with a full-on print mix using a new blouse (top-vertical stripes, shorts-herringbone pinstripe, tights-chevron) and a light-to-dark vertical gradient. Accessorized with white (watch, new cuff from Etsy which Sona linked a while back (thanks Sona!), clutch), and soft red lipstick.
#2 Tuesday. I've been itching to pull out these slouchy wide leg summer trousers! I wear these a LOT longer than most people would, with the hems actually pooling and dragging on the ground, which I know isn't for everyone but is a look I enjoy. Paired with a new bright orange (my most favorite orange shade) summer sweater with matching bright orange lipstick, gold earrings, and of course more whites (blazer, booties, clutch).
#3 Wednesday. Probably the last look I'll do with these tall black boots for the season, so I just had to go with my current favorite formula for them: short jacket + belt + white skinnies; this belt is actually almost as white as the jeans, not sure why they show as cream here and in #5. Worn with long thin gold earrings that mimic the zippers, rarely worn pink lipstick to add a little extra dose of "pretty" to the look, and my current spring crush, the white slouchy clutch. Trying out a new photo spot for days when my back patio is too sunny; didn't get it right this day, but I've got it figured out now.
#4 Thursday. A copycat outfit of one Kelly recently posted, with the same dress even! Initially I had peep-toe booties and no hat planned, but 1) it was raining, and 2) I ran out of conditioner Worn with textured nude tights, my lightest colored slouchy knit hat, and plum lipstick to pick up on the dress's purples.
#5 Friday. Today we are having some serious wind! I've had this outfit in mind for a while, but hadn't yet gotten around to wearing it. Between the very oversized shirt and slouchy skinnies, I feel like the poster child for the 2013 oversized/slouchy trends! But of course, this was always part of my style so it also feels very me (especially with the plaid and white). Accessorized with neon necklace because sometimes we just feel like neon (or is that just me?), a new set of 4 cream/gold triangle stud earrings, soft red lipstick, and the ubiquitous white clutch.
#6 Bonus photo of the flower clusters that I was being heavily bombarded with while taking my outfit photos today. This is what I am making a scowling face at in the outfit photo, though they do match my necklace quite nicely ^^
