Two work outfits from this week:

#1 - This is a winter FFBO for me: sweater layered over blouse or tee, with black trousers. The BR sweater here is at least 7 years old. I still really love it, and it's in great shape. (A gray v-neck that I purchased at the same time, in the same knit, is showing its age and will probably be retired after this season.) Meanwhile, I am beginning to think this JCrew blouse is layering magic. It adds just enough personality to an otherwise plain ensemble, and it goes well with everything. I did try leaving untucked, but it's very long (even longer on me than it is on the model in the Find). It looked goofy, so I retucked it. My trousers are a bit loose on me and require belting. I think I should have them taken in a bit so I can wear them without a belt; it would be nice not to have that bulk for outfits like this one.

#2 - New Loft dress. I thought about layering a cardi or jacket over it, but nothing I tried looked quite right. I think a top layer would need to be cropped or as long as the dress. Anyway, I ended up being a little chilly in my workplace, though I did get some nice compliments. I have recently ordered a denim jacket which might look okay over this until the weather warms up a bit more. We'll see when it arrives.

Comments, feedback, and ideas are welcome.
