WIW for Party Prep, Inspired by ironkurtin's Formcore

I took last Friday off to get ready for the "End of Summer BBQ" DH and I host. I believe the party was a success - we packed 17 attendees (5 were little ones) into our house and yard and had a great time. In any case, on Friday I had errands to run to grocery stores and a farm market as well as lots of cooking and cleaning and setup. I like to wear my sweat-wicking workout gear for maximum comfort when spending the day doing chores and so made that the base of my outfit for errands, a la IK's formcore look.

I am defs. breaking the "leggings aren't pants" rule, but it was terribly convenient to shed layers when I got home rather than having to change outright!

WIW:
Grey Tee - gapFit
Black Leggings - Lululemon
Burgundy Sweater - Gap
Black Vest - Lululemon
Lace-print scarf - Banana Republic
Short Boots - Earth Origins

You look great in leggings. The party sound so much fun. Do you host a BBQ yearly?

What a great strategy for your busy day, and yet you look incredibly stylish, too. Love how you put everything together. You and IK are inspiring me for weekend looks! Thanks for sharing.

shedev

Well done.

Zibbets

Great look to transition from errands to prep. I'm taking notes on your great scarf arrangement. Can you briefly explain how you did it?

Fantastic, and wow, if we all looked as great in leggings as you do, we might start a movement to call them pants!

Glad the party went well!

@Kristen and shedev and Suz, thank you for the kind words.

@Mona, thank you! It's been a yearly thing since we've lived in our house. We used to try to have it in the summer, but the weather is usually pretty nice still in Sept and everyone is less busy!

@Zibbets, It's just a big square scarf folded into a big triangle, rolled over a bit on the long end so the triangle part doesn't hang as far down, and wrapped haphazardly around my neck...
