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.

Plaid Shirt - Wet Seal (sold out), Skirt - Nordstroms (old), Tights - Target (old), Heels - Cathy Jean (old)

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 3 of Winter Challenge Outfits

Back for week 3 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 is week 1 and week 2.

Like last week I was shopping my closet. I actually found an outfit that I never would have put together if I hadn't been shopping my closet, so thank you Alison for that!

So here are this weeks outfits:

Day 10

We were supposed to use a Fair Isle sweater with this one, but I don't have one, so I made do with this striped version. Plus it's been sort of hot here lately, so I figured a light weight cardigan was good enough.

Day 11

I've worn this combo so many times, but never thought to add a plaid scarf, I think it looks fantastic and will definitely be a go to when it starts to get a little colder around here. Rumor has it the high next week is 56° brrrr.... (cue eye roll from half of the world)

Day 12

My statement necklace isn't much of a statement necklace, but I like that is big but subtle, did that make sense?

P.S. those heels hurt! They are my we're doing to a long sit down dinner heels, if you know what I mean.

Day 13 - Dressy Outfit #2

Dressy Outfit number two, called for a fancy sweater, like I said last week, there is some sparkle to this shirt, you just can't see it. I added the belt and the necklace, since my shirt was "plain". I really like it.

What happens when your spouse goes on a business trip and you have a remote and a camera and all the time in the world.

Too bad the ornament was cut out, darn!

Day 14

I haven't gotten nearly as much use out of this red plaid scarf as I should! I seriously need to wear it more...or the weather needs to get a bit colder so I don't look like a weirdo wearing a scarf.

Day 15

I just changed out the pants and the shoes on this one and completely changes the outfit so much. I think I like this look a little better then Day 11 though. What do you think?

Day 16

One of my favorite outfits of the week. Maybe because I really like this sweater, it's the softest thing EVER! Let's just pretend those are jeans down there, okay? They were dirty when I was taking pictures, darn.

Now go check out some other hot ladies to see their take on the same outfits!

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...
