Week 4 of the Winter Style Challenge

We skipped posting this last week and I don't think anyone else is posting their outfits, but here mine are, the last week of the Style Me Challenge: Winter Edition.  If you want to see the other challenges, here they are Spring Style Challenge, Summer Style Challenge and the Fall Style Challenge.

Here is week 1, week 2, and week 3of the Winter Challenge. And finally week 4.

Looking at these picture, apparently I really like putting both hands on my hips, must change that, LOL. Anyways, here's the break down for ya!

Day 17

I love this scarf, but no matter how many times I adjust, it just never lays the way I want it to. I tried so many times to get it just right, but in the end, it did what it wanted, oh well! This sweater is the most comfortable thing you'll ever wear, you need to get it, seriously! They have it in black too!

I had to laugh when I saw this picture, I think I was getting ready for the picture and I must have pushed the shutter on the remote without realizing it? I think I was tossing my hair over my shoulder...but it looks like I'm snapping my fingers, which is funny because I don't know how to snap.
See the remote in my other hand? haha..

Day 18

I probably never would have put these pants with wedge boots, I'm not sure why, but I really like this outfit. It's simple and looks put together. I think I need to add a scarf or statement necklace, but overall I liked this outfit.

Long Sleeve Tee- Target, Pants - Old Navy (old), Sweater - White House Black Market, Wedges - Target (old)

Day 19

This outfit wasn't my favorite. I like the tunic and the scarf, and I like the pants, but not sure how I feel about them together. I feel like it makes me look bulky...did that make sense?

Tunic - Nordstorms (old), Jeans - Loft (old), Black Heels - Cathy Jean (old), Scarf - Nordstroms (sold out)

Day 20

Time for some dressy outfits. I would have never in a million years thought of a plaid shirt as being fancy. But I love this outfit! The patterned tights, takes this outfit up a notch.

Day 21

Sweater - White House Black Market (old), Pants - Loft (old), Heels - Cathy Jean (old)

All in all I think I did a pretty good job shopping my closet. The only thing I bought was that fur scarf, that thing is so soft and comfy! And at $12 who can beat that?! Other then that everything else was already in my closet. I am so proud of myself for not going over board like I usually do. I finally have a good wardrobe, now it's all about maintenance.  But a few things here and there. I think this year is going to be the year of make-up. Trying out what works best for me...wish me luck!

Week 2 of the Winter Style Me Challenge

Back for week 2 of the Style Me Challenge: Winter Edition.  Here are my Spring Style Challenge, Summer Style Challenge and the Fall Style Challenge if you want to see what else I've done. Here are last week's outfits.

Shopping my closet, I think I did pretty good this week, only a few substitutes. Here we go, be prepared for a lot of pictures.

Day 3

This day called for a poncho, but I don't own one, so I figured my bobeau wrap would have to do.

skinny jeans (Loft), Bobeau Wrap - Norstroms, Long Sleeve Tee - Target, Booties - DSW (old). Scarf - Target

and you knew there was one of these in there...

Day 4

When I came down with this outfit, Mr. said okay Mr. Lumberjack let's get this started. He might have a point, but I still love it, and it's so comfy. Comfy will win out every time.

Day 5

This outfit suggested a Fair Isle sweater, but a patterned sweater will have to do. I'm not sure if I am going to get a Fair Isle sweater, the one that I found that I really liked was $200, of course!

Day 6

This outfit called for a dressy sweater, I don't have one with jewels, but this one has sparkly thread it in, so that's close right? You can't really tell, and I should have take a picture of the diamond cut out in the back...This outfit called for grey jeans, but I thought that my grey slacks went a little better with this outfit.

Yep I'm hiding the remote clicker behind my neck in this one...haha

This necklace was made by a local teen who battle self injury for 13 years, and found an outlet through making wire jewelry and Wired for Freedom was born. She was at a fundraiser for another teen who is battling cancer, so I bought a few necklaces to help the cause. But I love it. She has no idea who I am, but I think she should be recognized for being strong and for finding something that makes her happy and helps to get her story out to let others know that they are not alone.

Day 7

Day 7 was one of our 4 dressy outfits. It called for a cable sweater...funny that I had a ton of cable sweaters back in high school, I got made fun of for wearing so many of them, I got rid of most of them at some point in college, and here they are making a come back after spending 10+ years of avoiding them. Everything comes back around I tell ya. I subbed the cable sweater for blazer since I didn't have anything else.

and I actually did my hair in a side bun...

side note: That necklace and earrings were from my prom outfit

Day 8

This outfit called for a fur scarf, but the fur scarf I bought I felt didn't really look good, so subbed it out for this crochet scarf. I love vests and I wear it at least once a week. Maybe I should get another color then I could wear them two days a week...

In case you wanted to know the eyelashes I'm wearing are Ardell Demi Wispies 

Day 9

This is close to day 6, but it's jeans and boots and minimal jewelry, I love it, looks really put together, but is super comfy.

Now go check out some of my other Style Challengers and see their take on the same outfits.

Winter Style Challenge

We're back for another Style Me Challenge! I love seeing how everyone style's their outfits just a little differently to make them unique. If you don't know what a Style Challenge is, click here for the explanation. This is my 4th challenge and I can't wait to get started! Spring Style Challenge, Summer Style Challenge and the Fall Style Challenge. Since this is my forth challenge and I have spent a lot on clothes this year, I've decided to try and shop my closet for this challenge, maybe buying 1 or 2 pieces. So far the only thing I've bought is that fur scarf that you see me wearing down there. I'm undecided on some other things, so I'm waiting to see how other ladies style things, and I'll decided if I want to get one myself.

Since it's Christmas time, and it gets dark early out, all of my pictures are going to be in front of my Christmas tree, I hope that's okay.

 Day 1
 
We were supposed to have a cable knit sweater, but I don't currently have one, and since I'm trying to shop my closet, I decided to go with this coral/pink polka dot sweater.  I love polka dot anything, and this was so comfy. The fur scarf was such a deal too, for only $12.90! I wish they hadn't sold out. Sorry girls!

Mr. making me laugh, he was telling me that I was giving him nothing to work with...haha.

Day 2

When I saw what today's outfit was supposed to be I wasn't so sure. But I put it on anyway. I was pleasantly surprised, I loved it! Super simple, and really put together. What do you think?

Tunic - Nordstroms (sold out), Leggings - Norstroms, Boots - Macy's, Vest - Old Navy (sold out)

I took off the vest and added a fancy necklace and bracelet, both from Ann Taylor Loft from 4 years ago. I might actually wear this to the Christmas Party I'm going to on Saturday.

Please excuse the awful nail polish job! Clearly I have to change it out, don't worry I took it off last night, of course after taking this picture! Oops.

Now go check out some of the other ladies doing the challenge with me. I can't believe this is the 4th time I've been doing this with them. I love all of them, and can't wait to see their outfits! Didn't Deena do a great job with the graphic?
