Workday Wardrobe ~ Jan 22-24, 2020
There was no work Monday for Martin Luther King Day…and Tuesday I was so excited that I didn’t have to hurry home to take an outfit picture for #jan20x20 that I completely forgot I still need a picture for Workday Wardrobe! So I’m starting with Wednesday.
WEDNESDAY
I’m FREE! I’m FREE! No more wardrobe challenge (at least not today)! So I wore two items not in the 20-day capsule. It was an expected high today of 35 degrees. So I wanted cozy but didn’t need arctic-appropriate.
- Navy Loft Turtleneck, size 2x. No longer available in navy, but they still have it in a greyish cream with tiny blue flecks (sort of the negative version of this one)
- White Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda jeans, size 24W short
- Taupe Me Too Cairo slip-on loafers, they also come in black
- Black Old Navy coat, size 3x
THURSDAY
I admit. This was a lazy outfit day. I didn’t plan ahead and I overslept in the morning. I’d hit snooze too many times, then I was dreaming that I was spraying dry shampoo into my hair and then, in my dream, I was like OH! I think I’m DREAMING this! And that woke me up, ha ha. Anyway, then I just grabbed – clean, not too hot, sneakers, go!
- Tahari Cobalt Blue Merino Wool Pullover, old.
- Black Old Navy fine knit cardigan, old.
- Mid-wash Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda jeans, size 24 short
- Black Skechers sneakers
FRIDAY
Today’s outfit was about BREAKING FREE from the dark. Dark days, dark winter clothes. I just needed something a little lighter and gentler. And I was rewarded with a 57-degree day! I don’t believe in manifesting to make things happen, but…WAY TO MANIFEST!!!
- Cream cashmere v-neck from Ellos, size 3x
- Grey Old Navy Cardigan (yes, that grey cardigan), size 2x
- White Old Navy cropped jeans, size 24 short
- Chestnut Kelly & Katie Jordi flats, also available in black
A short week…but probably appreciated after yesterday’s monologue!

Love the sweater in the first picture – but then I’m partial to ‘warm’.
Love seeing Janey!

Yay for breaking free from the dark!! I just wore winter white for the first time last weekend. I have always accepted no white after Labor Day as a style Golden Rule. But I have no idea why!??? Love your looks, but especially the white jeans outfit. Looks like it even put more pep in your step and a bigger smile on your face.

Oh, gasp! Let go of all those rules! I LOVE white in the winter! I almost like it better with the rich tones of autumn and winter than I do with pastels in the summer.
How was your white-after-labor-day experience??

That’s how I feel when I get home from a trip and can wear things out of my entire closet…free and happy.
And boy I love that lighter outfit!!
