Days Four to Six

Day 4: It’s casual Friday. I thought this scarf dressed up what would otherwise be a plain ol’ t-shirt and jeans. And for some reason, when I wear these earrings, I feel elegant. I love this scarf – I have it in four or five colors. I can wear it several different ways, including as a shawl. When I fly, I’m never without a scarf like this. It doubles as a blanket on those cold, transcontinental flights.

Shirt: Old Navy
Scarf: Street vendor in NYC

Day 5: I’m starting to wonder why I chose so many skirts and pants for the challenge. I mean, no one would notice how many times I wore a pair of jeans, but they are sure going to notice if I wear the same shirt over and over (which I am starting to do). This is my first repeat in the challenge. It’s also one of the few tops that matches my cargo pants and olive skirt. It would go nicely with jeans and my gray skirt too. Basically, this top matches everything I have in the challenge. Perhaps I should own more burgundy items in my wardrobe. It’s surprisingly versatile.

Day 6: It’s Super Bowl Sunday and I will be nowhere near a TV today. I’ll be having a girls’ day out. The no-shopping part of the challenge it going to be tested today; there’s a colossal sale happening at Mario’s. I don’t usually spring for spendy designer names, but “half off the lowest sale price” sounds tempting. I could really use a Prada skirt. Here’s the low-down on what I’m wearing to the upscale boutique.
