Those were perfect MOTG outfits for a &nbsp;child's sports activities Cool, that your daughter does synchronized swimming.

Hope everyone's feeling better. I love the Sorel boots on you -- they definitely add an edge to each ensemble! I especially like the cuffed jeans in 2 and 3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-slim-pickings-for-week-3ish#post-1881550 Mon, 22 Jan 2018 14:37:51 +0000 Anonymous 1881550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Every outfit looks fab and so you.

This would be #8.&nbsp; Appears this is the only work outfit for the week!&nbsp; I came in for a couple of hours only.&nbsp; Re-wearing the burgundy pants, adding in a new sweater, repeat of the EF tee.</p> <p>Casual:<br />2. Worn to work, but on Casual Friday, so part of my casual capsule.&nbsp; I was planning on including this top in my 30, but not these jeans.&nbsp; But I enjoyed wearing them, so will wear them again.&nbsp; In fact I did, on...<br />...3.&nbsp; Time to bring out the tees... spent part of the day watching DD in a synchronized swimming competition.&nbsp; This Lole cardigan/jacket is perfect for this as I can stuff it in a bag at the HOT pool and not worry about it.&nbsp; <br />4.&nbsp; More hours watching synchro.&nbsp; Found this tank top by accident a week or so ago, and it's so me, I had to buy it.&nbsp; Black, great fit, graphic print in colours that I love, and a design that I could handle!&nbsp; A couple f summer tops was planned for my casual capsule because of synchro competitions, so I'm fine with this being one of them.&nbsp;&nbsp; Also wasn't planning on including these harem pants as part of my capsule, but for some reason I was really in the mood for them.&nbsp; They were great for the pool, so I may wear them again for the next competition in a couple of weeks.&nbsp; </p> <p>So there we go.&nbsp; Caught up.&nbsp; My stats so far:<br />Day 20, 16 looks.&nbsp; 31 clothing items total; 18 for work and 16 for casual.&nbsp; Obviously there are a few of things that I've worn in both, which is good!</p> <p>OH!&nbsp; Another new item.&nbsp; After lusting after Janet's Sorel boots for a year, I decided to see if I could find some.&nbsp; And I did.&nbsp; And it was well worth the effort - I LOVE them.&nbsp; So comfortable, and perfect for the weather we've been having.&nbsp; Got a ton of compliments on them this weekend, several from total strangers.&nbsp; So handy knowing people who have great taste in footwear AND seem to fit the same styles :)</p> <p>Comments, observations etc are most welcome. </p> </p>
