For starters, I am sorry for the terrible WIW picture. I am getting a new phone soon so hopefully that will improve the quality of my mirror selfies.
For secondsies, the near miss:
When Rickis started their 30% off sale promo I ordered a few things, including the chiffon sleeved tee in #3. The order arrived and I quickly decided that the pink blazer was a no-go, weeded out the accessories I liked, and tried on the tee. It cost $10.50. The fit was good, the colour good. I mentally slotted into a dozen outfits. Then I hung it in the closet, tags on, out of habit.
I wandered into my closet this morning, trying to decide what to wear. A dress, perhaps? Then my eyes stopped on the green tee. I thought of all the ways I could wear it to work, and then thought "Nah, not today".
"Stop right there!", my inner monologue insisted. Right. I am a member of Team Wear! It's not like it would have been a financially ruinous error, and I might have worn it eventually, but I don't really need another top, especially one that clearly doesn't excite me. I have now added the "am I excited to wear it this morning" test to my arsenal in the fight against closet clutter and mediocrity.
WIW: There were flakes of snow in the air last night. Snow!! Ugh. Time for tights and booties, I guess.
Fit and Flare Ponte Dress - Old Navy
Purple Cardigan - Rickis
Bow Belt - Banana Republic
Patterned Tights - Rickis

I accessorized with a simple watch, dangly dark pearl earrings, and my trusty Zebra tote to haul my lunch and coffee to work.
