A few recent WIWs

Hi friends, it's been a busy and rather stressful couple of weeks, so dressing has been primarily a practical matter. I've been well-served by my uniform tendencies, and enjoying a few pops of color that I've added, that keep uber-simple outfits from being a complete bore. Some of these might be repeats (the striped tee is for sure), so apologies for that, as well as the shoddy quality of the turquoise crew pic. New Pixie Mood cross-body thanks to Lisap's recommendation, and I'm so pleased with it.

Thanks for looking everyone; enjoy your day wherever you are!

I am loving all of these! Yay for having a fab uniform to fall back on in stressful times! I'm really loving these pinks and reds and turquoise on you, (the stripes too, of course!!-) Would you mind sharing where the first striped tee is from?

The new crossbody is wonderful, and I also really like both scarves.

Inge, of course ... I'll update my finds later, but both tees are good old Gap.

Looking great, especially the striped and red t"s.

You have perfectly polished casual wardrobe, Helena - I love it and aspire to such chic , clean style. Your hair and makeup really complete the look . Love that bag too

Smart and polished outfits, not boring at all. You look great!

I want this uniform, or at least to look as good in it! I love the colours that you are now wearing and the new bag is definitely a winner. I am liking smaller bags now too, I cart around way too much unnecessary stuff when I use my large totes.

Simple, polished, cohesive— great looks, torontogirl. I continue to be so impressed by the way you get the little details just right (that sparky bar necklace with your v-neck top, for example).

Smart and polished outfits, you look amazing. I especially like with red stripe top, red is beautiful on you.

My faves are the colourless ones!
3, 8, and 9!
I like that the stripe on 8 is a little wider and more graphic.
TG: I love you in leopard print. It is time for some leopard booties!
I also like your wavy hair and hoop earrings (I think?)

Thanks everyone! You're all so kind to me

Lisa, I'm so flattered since I always think I must be a bore beside your edgy-chic style! xx and thanks again for the brilliant brand reco.

Bijou, yes, me too! This purse is small but is contructed in such a good, structured way that it has plenty of space for my (overstuffed) wallet, keys, phone and even a lipstick or two - the perfect size, and small enough to throw into a tote if I don't want to move my stuff when I need to haul more gear around.

Smittie thank you! I love the striped top too, although I always think of Hamburglar when I put it on lol! I do have hoops on in that one photo; they are like those fish-hook style hoops and I love them - so light and comfortable. Yes to leopard booties or shoes - someday when the budget allows!

Angie, thanks xx ... I had my eye on ONE more sweater (famous last words ha), in Xmas red, you've encouraged me, think I'll go for it.

Thanks again all for looking and encouragement

Nice outfits! Turquoise is beautiful on you! If you would like some fun pattern mixing, try #5 with #4, and #9 with #8.

Your style is so far from boring. I think it is classic, polished, casual, perfection. Stripes and colors love you and instead of taking the stage, really let you shine. Love, love, love all your pics. Sending wishes for less stress your way.
