week 50 new looks: sweatshirts, the top ten list and saying farewell to dress codes




some observations from this week. i adore sweatshirts and find it hard to get just one as a match for a pair of sweatpants. i think i have at least four sweatshirts (it could actually be six) for the pair of sweatpants that i am wearing here (even though i am not wearing them with a sweatshirt here). that said, i am not sure that i would put sweatshirts or sweatpants on my list of top ten items of clothing -- i will have to think about it. but two things that i will put on that list are hoodies (any kind, not just the original sweatshirt hoodie) and suspender skirts/pants. and, on the subject of sweatpants, sweatshirts and hoodies, i hear that many office workplaces are parting company with the dress code. in celebration of this development, the last outfit i am wearing here is my attempt at dressing up sweatpants. not sure that i would wear this to the office -- not sure that i wouldn't be called out for wearing this, the abolishment of dress codes notwithstanding. but i have always been different when it comes to dressing for the office, so maybe i would wear this to the office -- i am sure that, from the perspective of some others, this sweatpants outfit might be judged as more office appropriate than some of the other outfits that i have worn to the office (for example, the suspender skirt outfit that i am wearing here). well, that's it for this week. until next week. and as one of my dance instructors says, "you do you boo boo!" (i know i will continue to do me!)

week 48 archive looks: never met a jumpsuit that i didn't like


if i had to list my top ten items of clothing, the jumpsuit (or boiler suit or overall or whatever you want to call it) would definitely be on that list.

week 49 new looks: on your mark, get set and go



it is sales time! so i am filling in some gaps. and thinking about gifting myself something "outside the box". in the meantime, continuing to enjoy pieces from the 223 dip collection that i bought not on sale.

week 48 new looks: complete but still hoping to add



one of my favourites from the 223 dip collection: the jumpsuit. the only thing that would have made it better: if it had been available in khaki. i have pretty much assembled my 223 collection. a few pieces remain on my wish list. things that i will probably wait to buy on sale (fingers crossed). one mistake i continue to make in assembling my collection (each season, but particularly in the fall/winter) is not buying accessories early in the season. i always wait to the end of my buying to get accessories, so i usually end up without all of the accessories that i want. going to work hard not to make this mistake next time.
