A bit of a much needed break, a birthday for me, and a whole bunch of college football later, I am back at it with the closet. Not much of a rush but the "change" is in the air. Highs will be in the mid 70Fs. Not exactly fall, but it is just around the corner.
***Once again, all praise goes to The Vivienne Files***
Just not a skirt wearer. I do own one. Okay, maybe three but two looked great on the model and meh on me. The one navy I own I have actually had for several years and have worn it once. I will go with a dress. I am going with this little number:
Old Ann Taylor Side Tie Jersey Dress

| Thanks again Tiffany Rose |
Now Janice at The Vivienne Files shows three items I get to pick and damn it if I'm not getting my full allotment. Sweater, jacket, jewelry, stockings, WHAT???
I'll need to come back to this.
Step 10: A Casual Jacket, Top, and Shoes
Oldie but goodie:
 |
| J Crew Classic MacAllister Boots in Grey Suede |
 |
| Navy/Grey Leather Jacket...best of both worlds |
And I am now using my "Get Out of Jail Free" card for the third item missing from Step 9.
 |
| Just cuz I love these shoes |
Yay! I hardly wear a winter coat...don't go hating...so I am still in love with this one:
 |
| J Crew Majesty Pea Coat |
I can't forget about these boots from last year:
 |
| Stuart Weitzman Dude |
And finally, the scarf:
 |
| It looks something like this. Hey, I got a little pattern! |

Only a couple more steps to go.
Now I went back and changed the Tods Loafers to a navy and found a lovely pair of Dark brown shoes to represent what I may purchase.
Here's the round up:
Looking Good.
Clever you!
ReplyDeleteI love peeking inside others closets...Janice has a great eye.
I'd hazard a guess that you may be her star pupil. Well done.
I hope I get an A for effort. This is not an easy task.
DeleteYou hit 2 home runs and you're wearing them and apparently green has a way of fitting well on you. That 'Old AT Side Tie Jersey" fits like a glove, puts the V in va va voom, and actually looks comfortable. The J. Crew Majesty Pea Coat is another big winner...and please let Dani know there actually are pea coats out there without a 'slouchy' fit.
ReplyDeleteNow listen BB those mangy MacAllister boots need to be sent back...they look like those boots worn home from the hospital following foot surgery.
I'm gathering you don't like my man boots. Ha! I tried a dress in the spring that Em said reminded her of a hospital gown...and yes I was thinking of keeping it. Sigh. Thank you for the compliments. I still love, love, love my pea coat. Makes me happy on a cold dreary day.
DeleteWow! Are you dumping all else?
ReplyDeleteI have five more steps and then I will see what I have left. I have " Goodwilled" a few things already though.
DeleteGood for you.You look awesome in green and those boots are perfection. Trouser jeans - if you can find perfect pair, are worth their weight in gold - at least in my closet. I hope you find a perfect pair!
ReplyDeleteWell thank you love. The boots are great...Hunter helped me pick them out :)
DeleteCute picks. I love the simplification. And as someone who spends 8 months a year clad in what looks like a sleeping bag with arms, I get to hate you on the coat front!
ReplyDeleteAA on this! It's a tough job. Love that dress on you too. Your man boots look comfy, not for me, but comfy. I also love those shoes you threw in. xo~J
