The first Workday Wardrobe of the new year, woohoo. I skipped it for a few weeks because I wasn’t working and my outfits were pretty much the same every day – leggings, sneakers, turtleneck. And I mean the same leggings, sneakers, and turtleneck. I have no problem wearing the same clothing day after day!

Monday

This week and next I’m involved with a wardrobe challenge called #Jan20x20, which means you select 20 items of clothing and that’s all you wear for 20 days. So far I only have 15 selected and as of this post going live I’ll be halfway through. I don’t know that I’ll need the full 20.

Anyway, the early part of this week was forecast to be mild, so I was okay with ankle length pants and loafers. Which is good because I have still not found any boots of any sort to see me through the eventual cold weather of winter.

As you can see, I have taken Christmas down, but have still not put it away.

What I Wore:

Tuesday

Mild enough for cropped pants AND a linen blouse!

What I Wore:

Wednesday

A little cooler today and the wind was supposed to be fierce. Which I didn’t notice at all until I got home and wanted to take pictures on the patio.

What I Wore:

Thursday

Coldest day of the week I wanted a little more coverage, especially on my ankles.

What I Wore:

Friday

Back up to almost 60 today! And I started another Instagram wardrobe challenge called #outfittedforwinter that has a dressing prompt every 3-4 days. Today’s was black jeans…or I wouldn’t have repeated these jeans this week.

What I Wore:

  • Navy Kennedy Cupro blouse from Universal Standard, size XL (US sizing is not standard sizing). This is my introduction to Cupro* fabric and I’m in LOVE. It feels like a heavy, sueded, washed silk. So lovely. And it’s a sustainable fabric. This is also a rental from nuuly.com.
  • Black Charlotte Russe skinny jeans, size 24 short. No longer available.
  • Taupe Me Too loafers

* If you’re not familiar with cupro, it’s like a magic fabric. It’s a by-product of cotton harvesting which used to go to waste. It’s biodegradable and easily recycled, since it’s made from 100% plant-based materials. Due to the way it’s produced (similar to Tencel and Modal) any chemicals used can be extracted afterward and the wastewater easily reused. It dyes easily so uses less dye than other materials. It’s hypoallergenic, breathable, anti-static, and stretch resistant. And it’s machine washable, which is a prerequisite for many. And it FEELS fantastic.

I’m enjoying nuuly very much. I’ll be sad to see it go after February. Maybe I’ll win lotto and can keep it 🙂
