WIW 1/4-6: Feeling fab and very "me"!

Here are my WIW's for the last three days. Feeling fab and very "me" in all of them, especially today's!

1-2. Wed AM to take a tour of a private school (we're touring both public and private kindergartens). Glad I dressed up because all of the other moms were stylishly dressed and the dads were wearing sport coats! It will be interesting to see if that's any different for the public school tours, although probably not given where we live.
Black Kate Spade Melissa ruffle trench
Ralph Lauren black and brown equestrian theme sleeveless pussy bow blouse
Leith cognac leather midi skirt
La Canadienne Galaxy chocolate brown suede boots
Jack Georges chocolate brown leather briefcase

3-4. Wed PM changed into more casual clothes
Tulle rust orange peacoat
Brown H&M graphic T
Gap Always Skinny jeans
New apricot/mustard yellow Converse All-Stars (Angie "con"verted me--these sneakers are really comfy! Now I have a perfect MOTG shoe!)

5-8. Thurs for work. I wore it with the nude pumps in 5, but would have liked to wear the matching teal peep toe wedges in 7-8 but they were too high for work.
Only Mine teal V neck sweater--you can see how it's pilling I'll have to get a sweater stone.
Anthro mustard and teal elastic belt
Anthro Liquid Acres teal/turquoise/olive/white patterned skirt
Easy Spirit nude ankle strap pumps
(would have liked to wear these Sam & Libby teal/turquoise/white peep toe wedge heels that I bought on clearance at DSW, but I had to stand/walk a lot at work so I went with the nude pumps with lower heel)
Fossil floral bag
Teal beaded necklace from Saba vacation

9-12. Fri to work. First outing of the tweed coat and Frye boots! Interesting that it was the same formula as my UWP Tory Burch earlier this week (coat over belted dress and Frye boots) but I didn't feel self-conscious at all! In fact I felt very comfortable and very "me"! I think it was the less aggressive/slightly retro style and warmer color scheme, which is more fitting with my typical DB style.
Anthro Tiny Umbered Houndstooth Coat--purple tweed with faux fur collar
Ralph Lauren eggplant dress
Cognac obi belt
Ann Taylor bead necklace
Cognac Frye Melissa lace-up boots--so comfy! I love these!
Fossil floral bag

Fabulous outfits, Natalie! I love the yellow/apricot Converse shoes and the outfit in #9 is my favorite! I love the faux fur lined jacket--so chic!

Gorgeous Natalie - just gorgeous!

I love #9, and the Converses are great!

rae

Love that pumpkin colored skirt!!

Joy

You have some very nice pieces. I really like #5 best on you.

Lantana

#5's my favorite too. I am enjoying seeing you shop your closet. Are you remixing, or are these outfits put together as you originally had in mind? You do look fab, AND very "you".

Lantana, most of these are remixes or slight tweaks. You made me curious so I dug up the old pics from my past keep or return and WIW threads. It was helpful to see how I've changed things up a bit, so thanks for the reminder about wardrobe remixing!

1-2. I hadn't worn this top yet. This was the original K/R--I tried it with both black and brown boots. And I had the blouse tucked into the skirt instead of loose. And I added the black trench on top this week.
3-5. The casual outfit was also a new combo especially with the new Converse. I had worn the brown T and Gap skinny jeans before, but with different coats & shoes (red trench and leopard heels, caramel leather jacket and cognac boots) and the rust peacoat I had previously worn with a different turquoise top and teal colored skinny jeans.
6. Prior WIW--I had worn a very similar combo but with a short sleeve cowl neck teal sweater instead of the cashmere V neck teal sweater.
7. Prior WIW--I wore the dress with heeled boots instead of the flat laceup Fryes and wore the caramel leather jacket instead of the tweed jacket
8-9. This was the first time wearing the coat. In the K/R I had originally tried the dress with a bunch of different belts, including the obi. I did combine the coat and dress, but had on different shoes (brown pumps and short brown boots instead of the knee high Fryes). And I thought my old Ann Taylor necklace would add a nice touch of color so I wore that one today.

I prefer the Ralph Lauren untucked and the long sleeved teal sweater but by just a smidgen, the other ways you've styled these pieces look attractive too. You must be having so much fun!

No wonder you are feeling fab, these are beautiful and creative looks. You have put them together like a stylist, and I can't think of a better compliment than that.

I love the yellow Converse, I think I'm going to copy you and get me some.

Looking fantastic, Natalie! So jealous of those Melissa lace-ups!

jayne

How to I vote and give the 1.2 pics a top of the top fantastic outfit rating? I have so wanted to buy blouses with this type of pattern but I never can imagine how to wear it. Gonna keep these pics for a future chance!

I also loved the other skirt photos because as Angie says 'no skirts purchase without a top to match' and this gives me the chance!! thanks for the inspirations!

Gorgeous looks! I'm so happy that you were feeling fab when you and the hubs went to looks at schools. That's the whole idea. That you felt comfortable and didn't have to worry about how you had dressed. YAY! I love the orange pea coat, the teal V-neck (I like this SO much better than the cardigans I dissed in your K/R posts--I wonder why, the clean front? The belt? IDK) Those teal shoes? *sigh* You have such lovely pieces and you really know how to style them.
