Day Ten


I understand it's an irrational fear to have, but for some [not so] strange reason [to me], I feel like wearing plain with jeans and boots makes me look like a farmer. I've seen plenty of people do it and look great. Whenever I tried it though, I always tend to look like I belong in the fields riding a tractor and chewing on a stick of hay/straw. Sigh. But, for the sake of this challenge, I tried it out.

Fun Facts About This Outfit:
1) The plaid blouse has been sitting in my closet for a little over half a year. This is the first time I'm wearing it.

2) The denim jeggings I have on fit my thighs and below but it is about 2 sizes too big for my waist. My solution? I folded them down. Twice. You can see the fold peeking in a few of my pictures. I would've worn a belt, but they don't have belt loops.

3) At first I didn't know how to tackle this prompt to wear something I'm scared of wearing. Two of my friends suggested I wear jeans, a t-shirt, and sneakers and I freaked out at the thought. I don't know why, but I was so against it. I guess the one thing scarier than looking like a farmer is looking like I'm 12.

Day Eight & Nine:

I was intitailly going to skip day eight altogether just because I mistakenly combined it with day seven and the only accessory I have to jazz up my coats is a fer scarf/collar. With this decision, a sudden feeling of unfulfilment took over and I began to feel bad about this decision...so, I dressed up my coat by resting my fur collar on its lapel!

Day nine is an OTI (Open To Interpretation) outfit and here was our inspiration:


I knew I had the exact colors in my closet...just in a slightly different order.

Day Seven


I would've gone brighter if I didn't have a job interview today! I didn't want to scare my possible employer just yet. The interview was for the position of a Student Assistant in my University's IT department. Four people are being interviewed, I was the second, and I'm fully qualified... I really hope I get it. I'd love another job right about now. The hours are super flexible and I won't have to worry about not having time to study. *Keeps fingers crossed*

Day Six


Having to choose a decade or region for inspiration today, I decided to go with the 70's because I had just bought these jeans yesterday and I wanted to try them out. I've decided that I really love them. They're so different from what I'm used to and they were only $2. Even if I ended up not liking them...I've paid more for nail polish! And sometimes those don't work out too great either.

Day Five


I believe that fashion is the rule book and style is how you interpret them. Today, I let my prints fight for the spotlight. It turns out no one won, so they each got their share of the fame. Have you ever tried mixing prints? It's easiest when you don't mix a lot of busy prints and when you stay around the same color scheme. But there are many ways to mix prints! Floral and stripes are very popular. Leopard and stripes as well! Well in this outfit I gave you some hearts, stripes and plaid. If you check out my Outfits By Pattern search on my left sidebar, you'll see how I've worn my prints n' patterns in previous outfits and how I've mixed my prints! Some are very subtle looks white others (one, in particular) are BOLD and daring!
