WIW...another GREY January week

It's funny how you see themes when you post groups of WIWs. I apologize nothing too fab here, but I'm committing to taking photos and posting keeps at least a few juices flowing...

1 - 01.13.15 - At home day - made a new curry for lunch with a friend! Grey check BR shirt, Hudson grey skinnies, Clarks cognac chelsea boots

2 - 01.14.15 - Off to volunteer - Old Mexx sweater (which btw I know is getting dated but there's something about the shape I still love - maybe my long neck likes the neckline - anyways it's fine for a day cooking), True Religion skinnies, Rocket Dog boots (again - another oldie but oh so comfy and covered in splatters - perfect for cooking)

3 - 01.15.15 - Out for Afghan food for lunch (yum!!!) - All Saints silk front top, Grey Hudson skinnies, SW strapduo boots

4 - 01.16.15 - Out for high tea (yum!) - I posted this already this week

5 - 01.17.15 - Home.All.Weekend with DS who has this crazy plague-like bug that's going around. JCrew sweatshirt, Lysee leggings, Sandwich boots, Wilfred faux fur infinity. Worn to pick up some gingerale for the poor fella....

6 - 01.18.15 - Again.Home.All.Day with the sickee :(. Test driving new $13 teal Gap skinny cordoruys with LLBean plaid shirt (wish it were a tad longer but alas), Zella jacket, Clarks chelseas. Worn for a coffee run...

7- closeup of my crazy socks. DS and i have a tradition of going to a local Parisian cafe on Sunday mornings after various activities. I have coffee, he has pain au chocolat, and we share some of our favourite macarons. It's our treat to ourselves and our hang-out time together - even just a half hour. This weekend he's been crazy sick, so I went for the coffee & macarons to go, and wore my macaron socks in his honour.

Happy Monday! Comments & critiques more than welcome! He's home sick again today so my computer time has skyrocketed!! (so has my online shopping More on that later...)

Jackie, these are great. Those socks are AMAZING. I am a boring sock person, but my DH loves a good pair of funky socks ... I will have to show his these!

Love all your outfits - they are perfect comfy-casual but stylish choices. The shirt in #1 is so fresh-looking and that sweater in #4 is definitely one of your best! I also bought Gap skinny cords (in gray) but paid $1.99 more than you *gasp* ... still haven't worn them, so will use your outfit as inspiration!

Looks great, one and all!

Good thing you look great and like grey. And I LOVE how tasty your week was. Fun old and new traditions, with macaroon socks to boot.

You have FABULOUS casual MOTG and SAHM style. Hip, practical, polished and chic.

Nothing wrong with #2. Looks fab.

#5 is my favourite, although I have a soft spot for the simplicity of #4. You're doing your plaid shirts justice, Jackie. Hope DS feels better soon. xo

Thanks TG and Angie! Torontogirl, I picked up the socks when I was picking up stocking stuffers for my boys from a local place called Kidsbooks. They had so many funny pairs. I got bacon socks for my older DS and pepperoni pizza socks for my younger ds. Also soccer ball and kitten socks for some kids of friends. They are super realistic looking digital prints, and they stretch to fit all feet! I'm not really a funky sock person either, in fact it kind of drives me crazy to see the contrast at my feet. However, when I saw the macaron socks I knew I had to have them

Everything Angie said, plus, I am in love with your grey Sandwich boots. Oh, how I need some casual boots to wear this way. Okay -- it's on the list for next year. Why I bought those dressy boots I shall never know.

Great looks all, and of course we loved your creazy macarooned socks:-). I pinned your outfits from 1,4, and 6 for myself for how to wear cognac booties, I'm recently on the hunt for. Also like your kitchen, the white side is nearly the same with what we have, love those industrial looking handles.

Tanya

Love all of these Jackie, especially #5. You have a wonderful casual style. I have been wearing tons of grey and grey/black myself. And Ia dore those cool socks!

Laura (rhubarbgirl)

I feel proud of getting you the right color scarf, then! I like them all but especially appreciate 4, with the layered hem and the unexpected cognac booties.

I really love #4 but you look good in all these greys! Best wishes for a quick recovery for DS.

Firecracker (Sharan)

I agree with Angie. Your stay-at-home and out-for-lunch/tea/coffee looks are such chic casual looks. I love 4 and 5 for the beautiful layering--4, with the simple lines and 5 with more of a hectic vibe. When I read "macaron socks," I was imagining stripes in macaron colors. . . and then I saw the photo! Big chuckle! They've just got to make you smile when you glance at them, right?

What a great set of WIWs. I aspire to be as fashionable a MOTG as you.

Jaime

Love #4 and how you mix cognac with your greys. Hope your son gets well soon and you don't pick up whatever he has!

Windchime

You wear grey so well, and these are wonderful casual outfits! I really like your arty tee in #3.

I also really like your kitchen, at least what shows in your WIW's. Hope DS feels better soon.

Jeanie

Love everything but the crazy socks are my favorite!

Gracie

All looks are great, I'd wear any of the outfits in a heartbeat. I love your graphic tee and sweater, great silhouettes.

You have a yummy food theme going on. All your outfits are wonderful and just right for your week, but my favorite is 4. I love the fluid lines and the proportions. I hope DS is feeling better and that you stay well.
