Corporette Outfit Challenge first week formulas and my Day 1: Black, White, and Navy on 1/22

I'm a longtime reader of Corporette.com, and they are having a fun four-week daily outfit challenge. Since they don't have the capacity to post photos over there, I thought it would be fun to post photos here. If anybody wants to join in, feel free! You will get a weekly email, each with five outfit ideas suitable for work. But I feel like you can totally adjust if you're a student or retired of mom on the go or whatever!

The first week's outfits are (per the Corporette email):

Day 1: Black, white, and navy

Day 2: Monochrome plus a pop of color (Sheath Dress Challenge #1)

Day 3: Shades of ...

Day 4: Menswear inspired.

Day 5: Mixed prints.

Here's my Day 1: I've had this fab DVF silk top forever -- I got it at my very first clothing swap, maybe seven years ago, and it's been a favorite ever since. I think of it as a summer piece but I got the bright idea to layer it over a black turtleneck and pants and navy pumps and I think it works! What say you all?

FUN challenge, Mary.

You've put together an unusual "Mary Layered Look" here, and it works like a charm. Playful, interesting and fresh. 10/10. Nicely done.

Excited to see what you come up with each day for the next 4 weeks - although you might need to sneak in a few YLF ensembles too. *smiling*

Interesting layered look! I admit that I tend to forget about layering under things and usually focus on layering over. Thanks for thinking outside the box.

Very well done. And the bag and pompom are perfect. What a cool challenge.

MsMary, What a fun challenge, please continue to share! My wardrobe is currently not deep enough to try these but I gain a lot of ideas for future.

You nailed the Black, White, & Navy Challenge! (Far from being fun, I think this challenge would freak me out! )

MsMary, this challenge sounds like fun. Your Black, White, and Navy outfit is a bit different from what I have seen you wearing, but it is still fab.

This sounds like a fun challenge. I really like how you layered your DVF over a turtleneck!

This sounds like a fun way to SYC. Your black/white/navy is unusual . I am looking forward to seeing your challenge outfits.

Looks great. Very different. A whole different vibe.

What a great challenge! I can’t wait to see what you do with the other prompts.

I love that sort of floaty short sleeve over fitted long sleeve look - in my head it’s usually a very casual thing, very art teacher vibe, but you have taken it in a much more polished direction and it’s just lovely. I am inspired!

This is a case where I think the shoes really make the outfit by adding structure. You look fab!
