Intending to try out some of the outfit suggestions for my new “boring” sweater, but not having a photographer available, I rigged up a wreath holder on the inside of my closet door. He hee. If you like how it works, maybe I’ll be more inclined to take pictures. Even without having to get changed in and out of the outfits, this project took me a long time.
Anyway, on to the pictures. This first one is with my one and only scarf, which lately I have been thinking about using to fill in a v-neck sweater (scarf as blouse is an old scarf-tying era trick). Anyway, this I like, and will probably wear to church.
Next I turned my attention to creating outfits for spring.
Here’s where the technique of showing the clothes hanging like this rather than on the body breaks down. Anyway, how do you like my $5 white quilted leather belt? About the pants: I bought them recently (for $1) when I realized I didn’t have anything between lined wool trousers and my short sleeved pants. These are light weight cotton, denim-y blue with neutral stripes, and while they are not wardrobe staples, I didn’t pay much.
And speaking of not paying much, here’s my new summer leisure/casual dress that I go t for $2.49 at KMart. Most of you know that v-neck is less my thing than other necklines, but I’m comfortable in it worn over a collared shirt.
(Parenthetically here, I took a picture of the sweater with my chocolate brown button-up shirt under, but lost it. Worn like that, though, it basically goes with all my winter stuff: jeans tucked into boots, wool patterned trousers, wool skirts and boots … .)
Anyway, I love how this summery dress makes a transitional outfit - sure to be a favorite next fall! - when combined with the sweater and wintery accessories.
Now, on to my jackets. Most are nothing special when combined with this sweater.





(The safari-style jacket color goes fine with the sweater, and the sweater even fits under it, but I confess I am squeamish about the very lightweight fabric combined with a cable-knit sweater.)
Now I’m off to shopping with a bunch of teenagers. These are the times when I really love my life!
