Evolve your style 2

I am trying this challenge in order to "revamp" my style and my wardrobe. I have far too many clothes, I wear the same thing way too often, and too many mornings I wake up and think: "I have nothing to wear"!! So every day for 31 days, I will answer the challenge, post a photo of myself and comment on my choice of clothing and accessories. I hope I survive the challenge and find a whole new me!!
Day 6: wear sparkle in the daytime
How did you feel today?
I found this hard - I don't tend to wear much sparkly stuff in the day but I do have a pair of shoes with sparkles on the toes so I started from that. The scarf has silvery spots so I incorporated it too. I felt good!!
Today's outfit would have been better if.....
 Hmmm - not sure
What did this outfit say?
I am dressing as a professional??
Did it feel comfortable?
Yes, it is a good outfit for work. I teamed it with my red coat, which has spots inside the sleeves so I rolled them up - people noticed and commented!
Did you feel good in it? Yes, I did.
Anything else about how you felt or what surprised you so far?
I was surprised that I could find something sparkly that worked for work :-)

Day 7: mix textures
How did you feel today?
I wore a favourite dress which has different textures - crocheted cotton, wool, nylon, with patterned stockings and my old brown boots - I felt good - maybe a little quirky and individual
Today's outfit would have been better if.....
I'm never sure what to wear under the dress to make sleeves - I chose the knit top because it has a round neck which disappears under the dress
What did this outfit say?
I enjoy floaty dresses
Did it feel comfortable?
Yes
Did you feel good in it?
Yes
Anything else about how you felt or what surprised you so far?
I don't think I have been very adventurous yet....
Day 8: Double up necklaces
How did you feel today?
I chose two necklaces with similar beading and colouring to complement each other. I teamed it with a dress of many colours which has quite a bit of black, which was also in one of the necklaces. I was pretty happy with the outcome.
Today's outfit would have been better if.....
I am not sure - I don't usually wear this much black but it looked OK today I think.
What did this outfit say?
I look a little more stylish today than yesterday
Did it feel comfortable?
Yes - it's a jersey dress which is very comfortable.
Did you feel good in it?
Yes, it felt good and I think it looked good. I wore patterned tights too, to be bit cheeky.
Anything else about how you felt or what surprised you so far?
I'm feeling more comfortable about my wardrobe for work - I should try organising my clothes beforehand more often!!

Day 9: Wear a bright lipstick
How did you feel today?
I feel good in this shirt and the bright lipstick added to it - I would do this again :-)
Today's outfit would have been better if.....
Not sure - I liked it so I don't know!!
What did this outfit say?
I am confident and happy in bright colours
Did it feel comfortable?
Yes - with a stretchy black skirt and my comfy boots
Did you feel good in it?
Absolutely
Anything else about how you felt or what surprised you so far?
I am worried that I will soon get to clothes I wear less - or I am going to want to wear things again!!
I have mixed up a few of the days to suit my week and what I am doing......
Day 17: Wear complementary colours
How did you feel today?
I think I actually went "analogous" rather than complementary as I am not wearing colours that are opposite each other on the colour wheel.....but I got lots of compliments so that was important!! The colours are striking.
Today's outfit would have been better if.....
I had worn my boots - I didn't like my stockings (too pale) and shoes much
What did this outfit say?
I am happy to be a bit unconventional in my colour choices but I play it pretty safe with the style.
Did it feel comfortable?
It felt a bit tight because, being cold weather, I had a camisole under the top, which is close fitting anyway.
Did you feel good in it?
Yes, although I felt a bit like I might look fat
Anything else about how you felt or what surprised you so far?
I needed to pay closer attention to the colour wheel when choosing my outfit, although when I got home from work I did put on something in complementary colours :-)
