Catching up

Somehow time has passed me by and I have fallen behind on posting outfits. Truth be told I’ve been busy doing enjoyable things like auditing a mental global health class (nerdy but oh so worth it), cooking sweet potato soup for me and butter chicken for the hubs, and enjoying mocha cheesecake ice cream in 30-degree weather. The weekend found me coped up inside due to the bit of snow we received, and it felt oh so appropriate to enjoy a lazy couple of days.

I wore this outfit two Fridays ago when I had to sport a more conservative look for a meeting. I always have a hard time dressing up for more professional, business occasions, because I refuse to resort to any type of suit, so did my best to incorporate dark colors but in Dea-style.

               

A couple of weeks ago I realized I hadn’t worn the “clock skirt” all season and that’s partly due to its big prints, makes it a bit tricky to find a top that complements the color scheme while not competing with er, the clocks.

       

These next two outfits made their debut last week and again my motivation was to play with pieces that haven’t seen much action. The Reed Shirtdress was one of my first full-price purchases, and I have no regrets. It fits wonderfully and the cut couldn’t be more flattering. As for the Camellia blouse, I completely lucked out and was able to find it in my size during the extra 50% off sale. Always thinking it was overpriced I shied away, but after seeing it on Kristin here, I re-evaluated.

           

       

 

And there you have it, all caught up! It’s been a great exercise to document outfits through this blog because it’s a useful reminder of everything I own, and serves as a journal of how my style has evolved.
