So far I've only posted special-occasion WIW's to the forum, both because I feel awkward taking photos of myself without a "reason" and because, well, I have a better handle on special-occasion dressing so I like the resulting outfits much more.

On a different note, here are some everyday WIW's from the past two weeks. Not everything works to my eye, but no major fails either.

1) My favorite outfit of this set: Danier dove gray leather blazer, Loft blush lace tee (layered over a nude silk cami, so much comfier than a typical cotton camisole), the baggier of my Lucky BF jeans, well-worn rust suede Aldo booties, and a delicate brass necklace from Etsy. I love the feminine edge and (surprisingly) the soft, muted color palette with dark hair and shoes to ground it.

2) This is more typical of what I throw on when I'm feeling uninspired, and I'm not super happy with the proportions. Leith long burgundy cardigan from Nordie's (an Angie's pick during NAS last year), screen-printed graphic tee gifted from my BF's mother, dark-wash skinny jeans, and black moto booties. I chose the cardigan at the last minute to "dress up" a t-shirt-and-jeans outfit, but I think it would have worked better to stick with my original vibe and just wear a fitted hoodie.

I wore 1 and 2 on consecutive days... #1 felt like a PM (product manager) outfit and #2 definitely made me feel like an engineer (but I AM an engineer and my environmental norm is closer to #2).

3/4) I apologize for the terrible lighting; now you can see why most of my selfies are taken in the work bathroom. The jeans here, by Mother, are true skinnies all the way to my ankles and actually light-wash (see Find below). The waist is a teensy bit tighter than ideal, like a woven blazer or a skirt with no stretch... I think I'm prepared to sacrifice full comfort for style in this case, because they make my legs look amazing and don't bag out at all in the rear. I was experimenting with tucking them into my moto boots -- there's a bit of bunching, but do you think it works?

This outfit is what I'd consider an ideal FFBO; I'm still trying to figure out why it makes me happier than my other fallbacks, like #5 below. The other items are a merino wool JC Tippi sweater in my happy color (but sadly it has developed a hole) and an old onyx-and-pearl silver necklace from China that broke while I was wearing it that day. Thankfully, the necklace can be repaired and I'm going to attempt to restring it myself, just waiting on supplies to arrive.

5) WIW today! JC thick flannel plaid buttondown with old AG green skinnies (color starting to fade now) and the same Aldo booties I've been wearing all winter. I've worn holes into the heels of these shoes already--the downside of a lower price point.

This outfit is... fine. Buttondowns are easy to fit on my body type (small-busted rectangle with no waist) and look more polished than a tee + cardigan/hoodie. Plus, the color scheme here is very much my style. So why am I dissatisfied? I don't know; I ran out of the house without thinking to check my jewelry box, but necklaces tend to get lost against the busy plaid and jewel tones of this shirt. I think it's not quite feminine, nor edgy-eclectic, enough. The look is basically what my better-dressed male colleagues wear. It's comfortable and practical, but not "pretty."

I'm still trying to figure out my style adjectives and persona. What do you all think? Have anything to add to my (long) self-analysis?
