Wardrobe Remix

One of the great things about losing weight is buying new clothes. New, smaller clothes. Clothes that look better on your new, smaller body. It's great but expensive. In an attempt to avoid buying a new wardrobe in every new size, Im trying to take the clothes I have and reimagine them in new ways and combos. (Since my boss was out of town and I could risk looking like a clown) I declared last week "Experimental Fashion Week" No new clothes here*, just new ways to wear what I already have. And now, ladies and gentlemen, I give you the reeeeeemix!

I'd like to apologize for the crappy pictures. I took them all quickly in the bathroom at work before anyone came in ask asked my why I was taking gratuitous photos of myself in the mirror like a 15 year-old on myspace.

MONDAY:
I wear this yellow jacket all the time. But here I paired it with this navy and white turtle neck that I bough months ago and literally had not, until this day, worn out of the house. I love stripes (as you will see) but am paranoid about that don't-wear-horizontal-stripes-or-you'll-look-like-a-giant-fattie rule. I think the jacket breaks it up just enough to keep the fun of the stripes but loose the blimp look. Add a jean skirt, blue tights, and brown boots. Done.Plus, I added a blue and white polka-dot pin for a fun detail. It's made from a vintage tea towel.


TUESDAY:
Tank top + turtle neck + belt=cute. Who knew. Oh- and check out those jeans. They're my first pair of non-bootleg in decades.* Helloooo slim fit. 21st century- I have arrived. Please ignore the slight muffin top in the bottom picture. They're new jeans, okay. They need time to stretch.


WEDNESDAY:

Yeah, I'm wearing a scarf like it's a bandanna. What? It's Experimental Fashion Week.


THURSDAY:
Experimental Fashion Week is tiring. I forgot to take a picture. I also forgot to dress experimentally.


FRIDAY:
Multiple pins! Skinny jeans! Blue and orange together! It must be casual Friday.
