FIRST, I want to introduce you to a new friend…this is Liz. She has a blog called Closet Play Image, and in addition to her penchant for sharing wardrobe inspiration, she does a feature called Copycat Style. And guess who she copycatted this month?! Me! Hee hee! She has so much goodness on her blog, I hope you’ll take a look!

MONDAY

Needed an outfit that could from office day to city night. Was a mild evening but I knew we’d be on a rooftop after dark and that would be cooler and windier. This jacket is super thin and lightweight but is filled with Primaloft which is a warm, vegan fill. It’s great because it doesn’t make coats get too big and puffy. I’m big and puffy enough all on my own. And the comfy walking shoes cuz city.

TUESDAY

Work from home day. I can’t believe I’m going to say this, but I think I’m kind of over this beloved Ava&Viv turtleneck. I still love the fit, the collar, and the color…but the super-long handkerchief hem just screams early 2010s to me (ha ha).

If I didn’t think my sewing machine would try to murder me in my sleep, I might actually try to cut the long bits off so it was all one length…or maybe slightly longer in back. With side slits! Cuz I do love it, but I don’t really like wearing it out anymore. Especially with a jacket or coat cuz those side pieces dangle out longer than anything I could wear over top and it’s just weird.

Top: Oh So Very Old Target Ava&Viv turtleneck, size 3x. No longer available.
Jeans: White Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda jeans, 22w short.
Shoes: Black Aerosoles Flats (same as the leopard ones)

WEDNESDAY

This gets two thumbs up from me. I think I’m just in a white buttondown + cardigan phase right now and I love the combo every time. I can work in this, I could play in this. I could go on a date in this (date? did she say date? is there a date? no. there’s no date. but there COULD be).

Blouse: White Loft Plus Buttondown, 22/24. This shirt is so so good. It’s a heavy viscose (rayon) so has nice drape and just feels good.
Cardigan: Grey Old Navy Longline Cardigan, size 2x. Exact sweater no longer available, but there’s a darker grey Old Navy cardigan here that’s just like my new brown one that I’m loving. Speaking of which, I think I’d like the brown cardigan with the navy pants.
Pants: J Crew Cameron Slim Cropped Slack in 4-Season Navy Stretch, size 24
Shoes: Black Aerosoles Flats (same as the leopard ones)

THURSDAY

Worked from home and actually wore leggings and a tee all day so I could jump rope at lunch (?!?) but changed to go to the market for light bulbs. Are 40w bulbs not a thing anymore? 25 is too dim, 60 is so bright!

I’m feeling an oversized 90s grunge phase coming on. I do love a Henley. And a waffle knit. It’s like I’ve died and gone to shirt heaven.

Top: Belk Plus Size Henley Waffle Top, size 2x.
Jeans: Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda jeans, Scottsdale wash, size 22w short.
Sneakers: Antique Adidas Cloudfoam

FRIDAY

EveryWear Striped Slub-Knit Plus-Size Long-Sleeve Tee

This is my “I was gonna wear a dress today but didn’t get up in time to wash my hair and I wasn’t gonna waste a pretty dress on greasy hair” outfit of the day. The highlight of which is the “gotta go to the laundromat after work” bra, ha ha. Ugh. It’s over 10 years old and useless. Butwhatareyougonnado? Anyway, got this mustardy striped tee in my recent Old Navy haul.

Ha ha, wrote that ^ this morning. Went to the laundromat after work (ugh), then stopped for a slice of pizza on the way home. Got home, lugged in laundry and was so excited for pizza I got changed into my nightgown before I remembered I needed an OOTD. Guh. That’s why these pictures 🙁

Top: Old Navy EveryWear Striped Slub-Knit Plus-Size Long-Sleeve Tee, size 3x. Sold out.
Jeans: Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda Jeans, Scottsdale wash, size 22w short.
Sneakers: Those Adidas

So yay, it’s Friday (yay) and I’m just finishing up here at 10:43 and NOW I can move to the sofa and watch the last few episodes of this week’s kdrama.  I made it!

Anyone got a challenge for me for next week?
