WIWW February 20

First, the outfits:

#1:  This is what I wore on Valentine's day. I had initially chosen a turquoise top with pink cardigan but I didn't like how it looked with the brown cords so I switched to the red blouse.  I added the scarf because it had some pink in it and I wanted to wear the necklace Logan gave me for Valentine's Day.

 

 

 

 

#2:  This was a day spent mostly at home.  It was cold so I tried some extra layers.  The print top is a few years old and I was trying to decide if I wanted to keep it.  Although the pieces worked together I didn't like the final look, so that top is getting donated.

 

Outfit #3:  With my little ballerina.  I realized later in the day that I've worn this same outfit before.  If it had been earlier I would have at least switched the tank of put on different jeans.

 

Outfit #4:  It was a cold morning and we didn't have any plans so I went with comfort and warmth.  This sweater came with the scarf.

 

Outfit #5:  Paul and I had a cooking class (our Valentine's gift to each other).  I wanted to make sure I was comfortable.  This isn't a color combo I would normally do but I think it worked.

 

Outfit #6:  I found this top on clearance and thought it would be good for my new pants.  I like the sparkle but the top is a little tight and definitely doesn't hide anything.  I loved being able to wear my sparkly pink Toms.

 

Outfit #7:  Another casual day with me trying to incorporate some of the pieces I already have.  The gray cardigan is a little short but it was okay since the top was longer.  I decided to wear my new flamingo necklace Logan gave me.

 

 

Second, some thoughts:

• Paul finally got to see some the outfits I've been wearing.  Because of his work schedule, he usually leaves before I get dressed and by the time he gets home I've switched into pj's.
• When I'm out shopping I find myself looking for accessories to pair with things I already have.
• I have probably spent more money on clothes and accessories this year than I have...ever!  I'm mostly kidding but I'm not one to buy lots of clothes so I guess I was due.
• I'm also finding it easier to get rid of stuff.  I have tops that I've had for half a dozen years (or longer).  Most aren't holding up with the time so they are going.  I also donated a pair of jeans that didn't sit right on my waist and I was always hitching them up.  Decided it was time to quit dealing with that, maybe they will work with someone else's body.
