Cheating a little bit here. This is from this past weekend. I don't think the weather is going to permit wearing something like this during this week (it's supposed to be too cold, plus my lab is freezing) so I'm calling it Day 0 of the challenge.

This ensemble was worn for an afternoon string quartet concert at a museum preceded by a casual lunch with a friend (and followed by grocery shopping, lol).

Why this outfit is very "me":
--black and white and grey - all of my preferred neutrals.
--bold pattern mixing - I like the contrast of the bold large-scale botanical print on the all saints dress with the smaller, lace print on the jacket. The b/w color palette keeps it from being too much.
--drapey layers and interesting silhouettes.
--lots of arty juxtaposition - silky/suede, casual (leggings)/dressier (silky fabrics, blazer), structured (blazer)/soft (sacklike tunic dress, leggings)
