WIW: Ingunn's Calendar Challenge Week 2

I had family visiting from NJ for the weekend so I'm a bit late in posting for the week 2 part of the challenge. Week 2 (last week) was:
Monday: Animal print
Tuesday: Dress over pants
Wednesday: Winter White
Thursday: Patterned/colored tights
Friday: Full skirt outfit

I didn't stick to the exact daily schedule. Here's how it went:

#1 - Winter white/patterned tights - worn to my school's "after the holidays holiday party" Friday night. The blazer is my off-white BCBG from the Boston meet-up.
#2 and #3 - Animal print - snakeskin print shoes (Vince Camuto), worn Tuesday and leopard print shoes (Naturalizer), worn Thursday.
#4 - Dress over pants - This sweater dress is a little too short for my liking, so I always wear it with pants. The pants are ON Rockstars, worn Monday.
#5 - Full skirt outfit - Zara black full skirt, worn Wednesday.
#6 - Colored tights - This is the 2nd time I've worn this outfit recently, and I don't remember if this pic is from last week or the 1st time I wore it. The necklace is the beautiful one my Secret Santa, Ornella gave me.

These are all great! My favorites are #5 and #6. I wouldn't have thought of burgundy tights with the argyle dress, but they're fantastic!
Love those python boots in #2 as well. YLF!

Great selections...You look stylish and chic in each one...I love the gingham check blouse...

Ok, I'm just in love with the white and gold. It's kinda bada$$. Bold and out there - and just a little ghetto, so it doesn't look cheap, if you know what I mean. All of them I'd totally do. There's something punky about them, and I think you look best when you do something punky. The red check and black pants is hopping esp. I suppose my least favorite is the last. The ankle strap on the red, your feet look so tiny to me... Tiny feet freak me out, lol. Maybe it's camera angle.

Thanks everyone! Caro, #2 is definitely a FBO for me.
Rachylou, what a fun description! I love looking a little punky!
Crutcher, the gingham blouse is another item that I removed from the mannequin - I'm always leaving naked mannequins in my wake!
Zibbets, I got the idea for the red/burgundy tights from another blog, and I wear them that way a lot now. Inspiration is a beautiful thing!

Whoo Karie - great week! #2 is also my favorite!

Karie, I love your holiday party look! I bet you stood out in a good way; it's such a beautiful outfit on you, the white and gold are a fresh take on a festive look.
These are all fantastic, fun outfits and great answers to Ingunn's challenge.

Stunning, Karie.
1. I especially like how your lace stockings bookend the lace of your jacket sleeves.
2-3. What a great way to do animal print. I forgot about snake.
4. I do the short dress over pants and need to try those ON Rockstars.
5. How do you manage to look so slim in a full skirt with a top worn untucked?!
6. I love that argyle sweater dress!
You killed the challenge.

I particularly like picture two, with the printed scarf and shoes going with the basic sweater and pants.

Thanks again, everyone! Laura and Shevia, I guess my FBO is a FFBO for good reason, thanks

Joy, I think that full skirt is so hard to style! The top I'm wearing is about the only one I like with it. I think every other top I try with it looks better with my black pencil skirt.

Firecracker, an interesting thing about that pencil skirt: I have that skirt in other colors, and they all fit me better than this one. Same size, same skirt, but I don't like the way this one fits me - I think it looks too big in the hips. It's definitely looser in that area than the other skirts. It's one of those "Why did I buy this?" skirts. I don't even want to try altering it as it has two top stitched seams down the front and it's fully lined. It's been in and out of the donate pile several times.
