I’m wondering if I should change the name of this series as it’s no longer just “workday.” Now that I’m filming 60-second videos of my outfits every day for TikTok it’s just another few minutes to do photos as well.

If only I could put this much thought energy into something truly significant, like curing cancer or bringing about world peace.

Look in the living room! Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It’s Bettye…in a COLOR!!!

I’m craving “just barely color” colors right now. I feel like every year right after the holidays I want to wear icy blues and mauvey pinks…and never find them. I have even more colors on my list this year…we shall see how that hunt goes.

I bought this sweater two years ago when it was marked down to like $7 but it was toooo smallll. So it’s gone from the “maybe someday” pile to the “sell” pile and back again several times. But now I’ve actually worn it and kinda liked it, so. It stays.

Having to face the harsh reality of going back to work after vacation (sniff), made me think maybe dressing more work appropriately would help me get in the appropriate headspace.

Honestly, I only got dressed to shoot outfits for the week’s “Style Session: Longline Cardigans.” But this was my favorite outfit from that collection (collection?? oh brother). It’s actually a little springy with the pale colors and open neck.  I’ll wear it again then.

Sloppy day.  Ha ha. After shooting three outfits yesterday I wasn’t having it with making any real effort today, plus, I wasn’t leaving the property anyway, so…who cares. I just tried wearing a cardigan that hasn’t gotten much use. I like it more over dresses than jeans, so…it was useful in the fall, not so much in the winter.

Cardigan: Old Navt. No longer available. Extremely similar here.

The Big Post Office Run Outfit of the Day. I feel like it’s the first place I’ve gone other than deli and market in ages. Seemed to warrant making an effort. OH, PLUS – I found the black turtleneck! I will now wear it every day 🙂

Pulled this jacket out of the “to sell” pile. I love the collarless of it. I’ve been obsessed with no collar and band (tab?) collar looks since I was a child and saw my first Nehru jacket in the 70s. Remember those? I’ve always seen that look as chic and modern.

I have that black wool Old Navy coat, the cinnamon-colored liner jacket, and this denim one in that collarless style. I think they look so clean over a turtleneck. And I love a turtleneck.

Turtleneck: Jessica London cashmere cotton blend black turtleneck, size 22/24. Comparable here and here.
