1. Was not 100% happy with this outfit--I threw in on as I was rushing out the door to work. I kept thinking I looked like Michael Jackson in Thriller! Suggestions? (Besides putting on a single leather glove)?

2-6. I couldn't wait to get started on Karie's Orphans to Outfits challenge, as I was inspired by Sona's button-down shirts post to pull out this ancient orphan. It's from (don't laugh) Casual Corner, so it's got to be at least 15 years old. It's a size 6, but it was boxy and I like fitted silhouettes so last year I bought a similar blue and white striped button down shirt from Banana Republic (size 8 but it's super slim). But now the BR shirt is too tight because of my increased bust size, so I pulled this one off the donate pile and lo and behold it's just right! I thought I don't look good in pastels, but I like the light blue shirt and white pants combo--feels very spring-like to me. And I rescued another orphan--a necklace from BR that I rarely wear, but the light blue matches the shirt perfectly. I threw on some leopard flats because it felt more me with some pattern in the outfit (although I guess you could count the stripes in the shirt and croc texture in the bag), and plus that seems like a very preppy thing to do (I see I wore the blue striped shirt with the leopard flats last year too!). I feel like I should go hang out at J Crew today! Even though this is not my typical style, I'm very happy with this outfit! I think I'm going to have fun with Karie's challenge--I think it will help me with keep or purge with my orphans!
