This is my weekly series where I take a look back at the outfits I actually wore every day to work.

Monday

I’m still loving this cream cashmere v-neck from Ellos.com, but for crying out loud, what is going on with my jeans?! Could they BE more baggy and wrinkled?? The legs sorta look like I could go down a size, but the waistband is pretty snug and I don’t think I could get INTO a smaller size. At least I’ll get to the laundromat this week and they’ll shrink up a bit in the washer and dryer! And how cute are my new leopard flats? I tried So Many Pairs – the cut wasn’t right, the fit wasn’t right, the colors weren’t right, the PRICE wasn’t right. I finally ended up with this pair from Target that I have to wear with arch inserts, which isn’t ideal as a) they make the shoe a little snugger on my foot and b) they keep slipping forward so my arch and heel are not being supported properly. It’s always something, amiright??

Tuesday

Another rainy day. Black crewneck sweater is light on a mild day and cozy on a cold day. It’s magical. My workhorse Gloria Vanderbilt jeans. Thrifted leopard scarf so the outfit isn’t too dark and blah. And a kitty to distract you from my messy rained-on hair.

Wednesday

A snowy day…and I managed to get home jussst before it was too dark to get a picture outside. No snow boots means wearing the sneakers I don’t care about. GV jeans I don’t mind getting sloshed. And an easy, warm oversized Rachel Ray turtleneck. It has an asymmetrical hem that’s hard to see in this photo. I’m not a big fan of a trendy detail like that because in another year or two it might look very outdated even though it’s still a very nice sweater. I was at that point where so few things FIT me, that I could not be (that) choosy.

Thursday

I’m writing this on Friday night and I already can’t recall the events of Thursday. I remember it didn’t rain. I feel like it always rains (or snows) lately. I have little motivation to dress nicely when it’s raining. I just end up looking like a drowned rat.

ANYWAY. It didn’t rain yesterday and I still couldn’t get out of rain attire mode. Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda jeans, Skechers sneakers. BP chambray shirt from Nordstrom and grey cardigan from Old Navy.

Friday

Yes! Yes! I wore these same jeans three days this week! That is a perk of wearing simple, neutral things that don’t draw attention to themselves. I couldn’t get away with wearing the fox dress three days in a week! People would notice!  They would ask if everything was okay, if I was okay. But a nondescript pair of dark wash jeans? The ticket to invisibility. And sometimes I want that. Like when it rains ALL. THE. TIME. and I look like crap.

So, GV Amanda jeans, Skechers, the beige merino wool Tahari sweater-a longtime favorite, and a black chenille cardigan from the winter of 2017, aka The Winter of Chenille. I was a little obsessed.
