How I Really Dressed for My Day This Week

Happy Friday! This is the day of the week when I generally try to share my real life outfits for the past week. I did, however, stay away from work during my Thanksgiving trip to my son’s home, so I don’t have outfit photos of that part of last week. Otherwise, this is indeed how I really dressed for my day this week!

How This Works

These are my real life outfits from my own closet. Many of these things are available, but some may not be. When I can locate one quickly I’ll share substitutes and/or more economical options. But if I don’t provide one and you’d like for me to, just ask.

All available items are linked in the captions of the photos. Even if they don’t look like links (sometimes they don’t highlight for some reason), they generally are. So just click through if you’re interested.

What I Wore

Sunday was cold and sunny. I chose to wear my new grey sweater with metallic stripes to kick off the holiday season. I wore it with some old grey jeans from last year; so they’re no longer available. But this slightly cropped length sweater is available in limited sizes. Metallics are so on trend and quite fun to wear, especially in simple iterations like this.

I completed the look with lug sole lace up booties from a couple of years about. But I’ve linked to similar boots above. I love a tone on tone look in this shade of grey.

What I Wore

Sunday afternoon I switched into my super comfy pieces from Vuori. I’m not sure if this photo is actually from that day, but this is the way I wear this combination every time…and very frequently. It’s my go-to outfit for evenings at home, too.

What I Wore

Monday we were taping videos for this past Wednesday and next week. Next Wednesday I’ll be sharing how to wear cardigans and look modern and fabulous, not frumpy. This is an outfit I come up with after I’d finished recording the ones that actually appear in the video. But I wish I had shown this one. It’s really my favorite. Ha!

That’s how it goes sometimes. Remember, I’m not a professional stylist, just a woman who has been learning a lot about fashion as I blog here. So it often takes me quite a while to play around with pieces and create looks I like. I do like the outfits I’m showing in next Wednesday’s video, but this is one I happened into after we finished recording and I stayed in it a while. I often forget about building a column of denim, but it’s such a sharp look.

What I Wore

Tuesday we finished up recording next week’s video. We had lost the sun on Monday and needed to wait until Tuesday morning to finish. I just don’t like the view outside the window behind me to be dark. Ha! Anyhow, you’ll see this outfit in next week’s video; it’s the one I wore while recording the speaking portion.

This is definitely an outfit I would wear to church or somewhere that I needed to be a little professional.

What I Wore

Then Wednesday we took photos for yesterday’s blog post. So this is how I wore that pretty black and white floral blouse in the morning before we shot those photos. I love how it works with jeans and a cardigan.

I also like how that blouse works with my red Talbots Hampshire ankle pants. I’m going to love having this versatile blouse in my wardrobe.

What I Wore

Then Wednesday afternoon after the photo session I ended up in this outfit for some reason. Ha! I’m not really sure why. I was probably trying on the grey cashmere sweater with something and ended up putting on these red cords because they are so comfortable. Honestly, I tend to default to comfort more often than not. That’s why it’s so important that I don’t even purchase anything that doesn’t feel really good.

And I’m loving these pretty silver metallic loafers. Unfortunately I can’t wear them real long because they are just basically flat with no support. You know I’m having a little bit of issues in my metatarsal area of one foot. I pick up my orthotics next week, so we’ll see if that helps. But meanwhile I’m really trying to wear shoes with a bit of a heel and some cushion. It really feels a lot better than before already.

What I Wore

And yesterday I worked from home on a video edit all day. So I just wore my relaxed fit straight leg jeans and a simple cable knit sweater. I have a very lightweight tee underneath. Oh, we actually did take photos in the afternoon again, so that explains why my makeup looks as good as it does. Hahaha! You can usually tell which days I take photos because I’m a little more made up.

I played around with a front tuck of this sweater, but it just didn’t work. And in the end it didn’t matter because I wasn’t going anywhere. Plus, because these jeans are full length I think the proportions are pretty good.

So that’s a wrap! I’m trying to make sure I take photos of all my outfits now. I just really needed a few days off at Thanksgiving. I can let you know, however, that on Thanksgiving I wore these fun pants (so comfortable!) and this sweater in heather almond gold.
