Sunday Jan 10 2021
Went out into the AIR. And it was good. A large sand mountain was involved. I was really not dressed appropriately for mountain climbing but I felt cute.
Sweater: American Eagle shaker knit mock turtle sweater, size XXL (their 3x). No longer available. Comparable here in straight size and plus size.
Jeans: Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda jeans, Scottsdale wash, size 20 short
Sneakers: Converse Shoreline slip-ons
Coat: Old Navy collarless recycled wool coat, old. Comparable here in straight and plus size.
Scarf: While I hate giving them credit for anything, I do love this mile-long scarf from Asos
Monday Jan 11 2021
Not leaving the building + craving jumping around = leggings day.
Shirt: Maxwell Jones/Macy*s Henley shirt, size 3x SO OLD. Over 35 years old. And who says fast fashion doesn’t last??
Leggings: Old Navy High-Waisted Elevate Powersoft Plus-Size 7/8-Length Side-Pocket Leggings, size 3x
Sneakers: Adidas Cloudfoam, endangered species. Only one known pair in captivity. And they’re mine.

First day back to actual work AT work since before Christmas. This outfit just called to me. I love this brown with the black jeans. And, along with the black turtleneck, I could probably wear this white button-down most days. I kinda wanted to put it over a white tee but I don’t have THAT TEE. The perfect neckline tee. For under a button-down I def want something closer to my neck (crew-neck vs scoop or v).
I have so many rules for myself. But after 60 years I’m learning what I feel good in and what I don’t.
But I’m so excited to actually have a little sun left when I get home from work!
Cardigan: Old Navy Cozy Open Front Long Line Cardigan, 2x
Button-down: Loft Tunic, 3x
Jeans: Black Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda jeans, size 20 short (I think I will buried with “She wore Gloria Vanderbilt Jeans” on my headstone. That pretty well sums it up.)
Sneakers: Converse Shoreline slip-ons.
Wednesday Jan 13 2021
It’s a casual, work-from-home day and for some reason the apartment is Really Warm today, so I dressed a little lighter than usual for January.
Buttondown: Madewell Boyfriend shirt, size 3x
Jeans: Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda jeans, size 22 short. Self-cropped.
Sneakers: Canvas Keds Champions. Self-removed shoelaces 🙂 Life is so much better when I don’t have to struggle to reach my feet to tie my shoes.

Back in black. And navy. Still love this chic color combo.
It’s been very mild here so far this winter. I mean it’s been low 30s vs 20s or below. In a normal cold cold winter I wouldn’t be wearing as many button-down shirts as I hate having my neck exposed in the winter.
Blouse: Universal Standard Kennedy blouse in navy, size 26/28, which is equivalent to a 3x (this was my best second-hand find of 2020 as it’s $138 new and I got it for $54 new with the tags still on it)
Cardigan: Old Navy Long-Line Open-Front Cardigan, 2x. Nice rayon/cotton blend so it’s very thin/lightweight, which I like for layering
Pants: Charlotte Russe Refuge Skinny jeans, size 22 short.
Shoes: Aerosoles Betunia flats
Friday Jan 15 2021
Work from home with a side of post office and liquor store.
Sweater: Treasure & Bond (Nordstrom) Crewneck Pullover, 3x. Also comes in a pretty sky blue, rust, deep burgundy, and light grey
Buttondown: Charlotte Russe Tencel chambray, size 3x. No longer available.
Jeans: Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda jeans, Callisto wash, size 20 short
Sneakers: Canvas Keds Champions

Black & navy, very chic! This question might be a bit premature but does Gloria Vanderbilt make summerweight jeans?

I’m not sure, but I kinda don’t think so. I only ever see regular denim on their website or other sites. I usually have a couple pairs of jeans from other brands that I wear in hot weather but haven’t found anything with as good a fit for me as GV Amanda.

Love your sand hill climbing outfit…appropriate or not…lol! Isn’t it nice to get outside though? The cold & early darkness have been making it hard, but I have been making an effort though. xo

I AM noticing that it’s already staying light 30 minutes later than just a month ago and that 30 minutes can make a world of difference. It lets me see outside. I can get to an azure sky or a sunset before it’s totally dark.
I’m so envious of Katie who’ll text me when it’s totally dark here and say “we’re just taking the dog to the beach” and she still has an hour of daylight left (in Florida).
Go! Go outside!
