I’m in full Week 2 of #jan20x20 challenge so I’m still working with a limited wardrobe. I’m still just at 17 items…and one of those busted through in the seat this week so I’m now down to 16. It’s okay. I feel confident I could do 20 days with fifteen items. It would be easier in the warm weather when layering is less necessary. And I’m throwing in Sat/Sun since I “dressed” for and photographed them for the wardrobe challenge.

SATURDAY JAN 11

Day 1 of A Beautiful Weekend to Remember. We went to the Chinese Scholar’s Garden in Staten Island and I really only put the jacket on for photos. Other than that I just wore the linen blouse and was sweating. It was glorious.

I really like this outfit.

SUNDAY JAN 12

Sunday was an even more beautiful day. The air was warm, the sun was warm. I went with another friend to brunch where we sat outside on a Brooklyn sidewalk and just enjoyed the food, the day, and watching people walk by. The red shirt didn’t stay on much!

  • Grey Torrid graphic tee (“Today Will be Great” – I usually wear it ironically, ha ha, but that day it was right on).
  • Sanctuary red plaid blouse, size 3x. This is one of my nuuly.com items this month and I have really gotten a lot of use out of it…I have a couple more outfits I’d love to use it in but I may run out of time before I have to send it back.
  • Black Avenue leggings
  • Reeboks Classic sneakers

MONDAY JAN 13

Back to work, and back to more normal winter. Not too cold for bare ankles, but…cold enough for a chunky turtleneck. This one is also from nuuly.com.

TUESDAY JAN 14

This. This was a sad, sad day. My beloved Charlotte Russe skinny jeans bit the dust…after five long years. We shared a lot, these jeans and I. The seat just wore through. I don’t know if it’s fixable. The fabric is so so thin. And after Wednesday’s post I’m going to have to make them into pot-holders or something.

WEDNESDAY JAN 15

SPOILER ALERT: Linen wrinkles.

  • J Jill White Linen Blouse, 4x
  • Old Navy Black Duster length cardigan, 2x. No longer available. Comparable here .
  • Charlotte Russe Black Refuge skinny jeans, 24 short. No longer available.
  • Aerosoles Betunia leopard flats (are you sick of seeing these yet??)

It just occurred to me on the Wednesday “post” that I should be posting links to sustainable brands that use ethical procedures. At least as an option. When I was looking for a comparable substitute for the Old Navy black cardigan I came across a line called Amazon Essentials, that had some nice longline cardigans that really resemble the Old Navy ones. But I thought oh gosh Amazon is probably the WORST. So I did a little digging and found this, which is, of course, only applicable to “Amazon” products, not items sold by other companies via Amazon. And I guess anyone can SAY anything they want, but…this seemed promising. I’m pleasantly surprised. If it’s true.

THURSDAY JAN 16

A favorite color combo: navy and camel.

FRIDAY JAN 17

Here come da cold. Here come da cold.

Needed ankles covered and several layers.

And that’s all folks. Just three more days of the #jan20x20 and I don’t work on Monday, so no more work outfits.

Which outfit is your favorite?
