Monday
Pink Spring
When I bought this shirt, I was wearing
these black pants, and, trying it on, I was delighted with the way the
slim fitted top merged seamlessly into the slim fitted pants and then
flared out at the bottom. I knew, a whole month ago or more, that the
first time I wore this top, it would be with these pants. A
monochromatic shirt and neutral pants are the perfect backdrop for
colorful accessories, so I wore a pearl charm bracelet in various pastel
shades. Next time, though, I think I'll steer clear of the black bras.
Tuesday
Fancy Feet
The focal point of this outfit (although
you can't tell from the photo) is the shoes. I'd been fantasizing about
these zigzag stripey shoes ever since I first saw them on one of the
three shoe clubs I belong to, but I wouldn't buy them because 40 dollars
is more than an Unfashionista ever pays unless she's desperate. But
when I found them again on Shoe Carnival, with a coupon-discounted price
around 24 dollars, I indulged in a little splurge (hey, I needed those
shoes to get my total high enough to qualify for free shipping!)Here's a closeup. The multicolored stripes mean they go with almost anything—except the socks I chose to wear with them! I had to take those off halfway through the day because I was so embarrassed by the color clash.
Wednesday
Fluffy Feet
As on Tuesday, the focus of Wednesday's
outfit was also the footwear. I really wanted to show off these leg
warmers one more time before the end of winter, so I scrounged up
another outfit to match them. Last time,
I wore them with a green khaki skirt and a light purple sweater; this
time, I did almost the same and wore them with a tan khaki skirt and a
dark purple sweater (and the same shoes). Although it seems to be hard
to wear these accessories with anything but khaki and purple, I still
love them. I hope leg warmers stay in fashion for a good long while!
Friday
The Unfashionista Outdoes Herself
You'll notice I
skipped Thursday, because I skipped work on Thursday to visit with
family. But you still won't miss a single fabulous example of Unfashion,
because I wore two outfits on Friday! I left for work in the morning
dressed in this grey and black sweater dress in another "last chance"
effort before I put away my winter wardrobe. Originally my plan for this
dress was grey leggings and black leg warmers, but I decided leg
warmers twice in two days was just too much, so the leg warmers will
have to wait until next year. Instead, I wore black leggings and black
foldover boots.I went home around noon to take care of a household issue. I had planned to take the bus, but the buses were running behind, so I chose to start walking home and catch one at a later stop. I ended up walking almost 2 miles, so no one should be surprised that by the time I got home, I was pretty hot. It was nearly 65 out by that time, and here I was tramping across town in a sweater dress! Since I was home anyway, I traded the dress for a black skirt and a red 3/4 sleeve top, keeping the leggings and the boots. At first I worried that three black articles of clothing on top of each other was a bad move, but I think I like the look of all black accented by a splash of color, and the interesting profile created by all those different layers.
