I loved Angie's challenge and started working on it immediately after her post... but haven't had a chance to post until today. My office is in the process of moving so it's been a pretty casual week and these outfits reflect that.

Many of these are new pieces to help round out my wardrobe after recent weight loss. Even with a heavy mix of new pieces, these are feeling really good and really *me* because they're helping move toward my goals: lightening things up while still incorporating a mix of dark and moody neutrals, modern classics, and mixing in softer feminine elements (dainty gold jewelry and wearing my hair in waves helps this).

1) Madewell sweater and J Brand jeans, with Blondo boots
2+3) J Crew shirt with J Brand Jeans, Franco Sarto burgundy patent boots / with moto topper
4) J Crew leopard knit "sweatshirt", soft black high rise button fly Madewell jeans, with Franco Sarto boots
5) Free People sweater tucked into J Crew toothpick black skinnies with Blondo boots
6) Black and white leopard blouse (Marshall's find) over J Crew tissue turtleneck over leather paneled Madewell skirt (old) with Vince Camuto boots. The fit on the blouse and skirt is still a bit big but I felt great
