Something has shifted (don't be alarmed, I'm not talking about my undergarments!). I mean style-wise. Here's what shifted this month:

Comfort can be stylish. No more wearing old sweat pants for the 3 hr. car ride for a weekend get-a-way to Lake Ontario. I almost did that Sat. morning, but I just couldn't and I changed clothes. It also ties in with another learning aha moment that happened earlier this year - Don't settle for something that doesn't fit the way you want it to - ill fitting garments aren't comfortable AND they're not stylish.

So the great experiment of school year 2013-2014 is done. I started taking outfit pics every work day of the school year, and then added weekends too. I plan on going back to the photos and looking at what I wore/didn't wear, what stays in my closet/what goes. I do want to do a reflection post - Egads, this is where I started, and hallelujah, this is where I am now - and then it'll be back to individual/weekly outfit posts.

Thanks for listening to my ramblings, and for better or worse, here's June:
#1 Stray from your comfort zone - A not-too-into flowers gal goes floral from head to toe (handkerchief hem skirt is self made, top is from Target)
#3 - Proportions make a difference: The red jacket (Levi's, last year) looks fine, the white jacket (older) not so much.
#6 - Get a little funky: Funky shoes and a vest to shake things up a bit.
#7 - Have fun with fashion: The outfit on the left is what I wore to my school's end-of-year pub crawl. The tee (from Swedish Hill Winery, Lake Placid, NY) is my report card (!) - it says "Drinks well with others"
#10 - Do alterations, don't expect everything to fit off the rack: The dress is altered, and so is the polka dot one in #2. I can do my own alterations, but I wouldn't hesitate to take something difficult to a good tailor.
