Week in Style

I realized long ago that when I looked good, I felt good. Lately, since I've been taking photos of my ensembles, I've been more conscious of what I wear. Here is a week worth of my wardrobe and my reflection on each day.

Monday:

On a Monday morning, you don't want to try too hard so this was a cute and simple outfit and I felt completely relaxed in it. The shirt dress is a great basic, it can be worn multiple ways. I can wear it belted, unbelted, with leggings, with jeans, or go bare-legged on a hot summer day. When I wear this I feel put together but not like I'm trying too hard and I will definitely wear this one again.

Tuesday:

By Tuesday I'm ready for a little fun and experimentation. This dress is from American Apparel and as you can see, it is very tight. I was self-conscious about my body all day in this outfit, but I still like the way it looked. I knew I was wearing an attention-grabbing outfit and I just had to be confident and work it. I have more comfortable clothes than this, so this outfit won't be what I seek out in the near future.

Wednesday:

After wearing such an extreme outfit on Tuesday, it was time for some extreme relaxation on Wednesday. This black linen tunic is so easy. It has a tie belt so it gives some shape but covers in all the right places. It is also a great basic because it can be worn in the same ways as my other shirt dress. I was feeling completely at ease midweek.

Thursday:

Uh, oops I did it again. After being so relaxed on Wednesday, I guess I was feeling a little angsty. I think I like this outfit, minus the boots. I've had these boots with straps up the sides for years and never wore them, until Thursday. After walking in them for 8 hours, I think the pain in my feet closed the deal, I kinda hate those boots. Without them, the clothes would have looked more appealing and less "motorcycle slut," pardon the term. Maybe with flats next time.

Friday:

I was in need of a feminine Friday. My little black jersey dress, so comfortable and so versatile. I dressed it down with my belt and flesh-toned sweater, the sweater's length is perfect for dresses. As you can see, I love to mix black and brown and that was also reflected in my houndstooth tights. I was completely comfortable in this outfit and I'm sure I will wear a variation of it soon.

Saturday:

This was my favorite outfit all week because it was simple yet stylish, sexy but still modest. The ruffle top was a rediscovery, worn only a few times, the belt really set it off. The brown warms up the black and the feminine necklace adds to the softness of the ensemble. I wish all of my outfits made me feel this good.

Sunday:

Sunday usually calls for relaxation and my knit tank dress was just the number. I love wearing my black shirt paired with my black tights under dresses, it makes the look complete. I added this sequin scarf for a little bit-o-fun, I love the unique color of it. Ahhh, simple Sunday.
