Monday

This is a classic lazy day outfit. Black column base (jeans, tee) with contrasting piece over top, in this case, a grey cardigan. But it could have been the camel cardigan, the chestnut, the leopard print, a different grey cardigan, wine, olive…It’s a super simple formula that always works! I didn’t mind the scoop neck and short sleeve tee because it was expected to go up to 50 today, and actually ended up at 55! I did errands with my windows down all afternoon after work. It was lovely.

TUESDAY

This is my “I’m going to the laundromat after work so need to wear all the things I would not normally wear this time of year…and the uncomfortable bra” outfit.

WEDNESDAY

TODAY I’m wearing a “well, I don’t want to wear anything I washed at the laundromat last night and am taking on my trip in case I spill, tear, or stretch it out” outfit. The sweater is one of this month’s Nuuly items. I’m very disappointed with my box this month. I got a bunch of fun warm weather things for my trip to CA…and nothing fits well!!! Too big, too snug, too long, too weird. Ugh. So…I have no new fun things to take with me and THAT’S boring.

I mean, this sweater is fine. It was meant for when I come back from California – it’s much too warm for me to wear a shaker knit there. It’s cute, I like the stripes and colors, but the fit/cut does nothing for me, really. One and done. And yes, I’m wearing the same pants as Monday. I’m crazy that way.

THURSDAY

This is my “I’M LEAVING TOMORROW TO GO SEE MY DAUGHTER AND MY PEOPLE” outfit (and dance). So much left to do tonight, can’t sit and chat 🙁

FRIDAY

This is my “I don’t care what I’m wearing, just get me through this day and onto the airplane!” outfit. This whole week was pretty much “I don’t care,” combined with “my favorite clothes are clean and I’m not wearing them again before the trip.” I’ll change this afternoon into comfies for the long, late plane ride, but for now, it’s a dreary, grey, drippy day and I just wanted to be cozy.

  • Ulla Popken mahogany turtleneck, size 3x. Old.
  • Calisto wash Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda jeans, size 24W short. I think as soon as soon as winter has truly passed I will crop these to ankle length. They’re a little slimmer leg than some of my other ones and I think they’ll hang nicely as a straight-leg cropped jean. But for NOW I just need all my warm ankle covering pants.
  • Black Adidas. I tried to get new sneakers this week and it just couldn’t happen. I hate the sneakers that come up so high in the front and back, and most of the running style sneakers are like that now. Then, I need arch support and good cushioning. The new Cloudfoam Adidas are not nearly as soft as these were in the beginning. And I want black. With a white sole. Pickins are slim.

And there you have another exciting week in the life of Bettye’s winter wardrobe. Next week will be much more fun as it will be all warm weather, vacation wear! Granted, it’s still all the same old stuff as last summer, but…it’ll be a nice change from months of turtlenecks and baggy jeans.
