Evolve your style 4

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 14: Wear Coloured shoes
How did you feel today?
I cheated with this one because it is actually night not day, as I am going out to dinner with a friend and more likely to wear these shoes than during the day.
I like this outfit - it is casual but still smart, so I feel good in it.
Today's outfit would have been better if.....
The only thing I wasn't sure about was the white top underneath and maybe it needed more around the neck - like a large necklace or a patterned scarf - but nothing I had seemed to work well.
What did this outfit say?
I am modern without looking too young.
Did it feel comfortable?
Yes, it is an easy outfit to wear and the jeans have some stretch in them so they are comfortable.
Did you feel good in it?
Yes, I feel good.
Anything else about how you felt or what surprised you so far?
This challenge is making me think about some outfits and what I could use to accessorize better.

Day 16: Wear an everyday outfit 
 How did you feel today?
I have worn this outfit A LOT but adding the scarf made it look a whole lot better.
Today's outfit would have been better if.....
I was pleased with the way the outfit looked so I don't know
What did this outfit say?
I think the outfit is the sort of thing that doesn't really go out of fashion, it probably says I am approachable because it is not anything "out there', just something every day.Did it feel comfortable?
The pants are a loose fit and the top is a knit so, yes, it is comfortable.
Did you feel good in it?
I did!
Anything else about how you felt or what surprised you so far?
By adding something extra to an ordinary outfit it looks a whole lot better.


Day 23: Style a skirt
How did you feel today?
I am never too sure about this skirt and what looks good with it. I love the colours but I don't know what would go best on top.
Today's outfit would have been better if.....
Now that I look at the photo, I like the skirt better with the lime green jacket, but maybe the jacket is a bit short? I think it might look better with lighter or no stockings, too.
What did this outfit say?
I am not afraid to wear bright colours...they make me look striking
Did it feel comfortable?
The skirt is quite comfortable however I tend to remove the jacket, which I find a bit bulky or constricting or something.
Did you feel good in it?
Yes, I felt good and got compliments on the jacket colour.
Anything else about how you felt or what surprised you so far?
The jury is out on this one.

Day 24: Wear a feature belt
How did you feel today?
I tend to think this dress is too close fitting so I don't wear it - being an "H" shape I tend to avoid belts but this one is just at the front, close to the bust and a bit of a feature. I felt really good in this dress once I put the cardigan over it.
Today's outfit would have been better if.....
Not sure??
What did this outfit say?
I can mix polish with bohemian
Did it feel comfortable?
Once again, this dress is in a stretch material so it was quite comfortable.
Did you feel good in it?
Yes, and I got lots of compliments, which helps!!
Anything else about how you felt or what surprised you so far?
My workmates are encouraging in their comments about my outfit and what I am doing, which is lovely :-)


Day 25 and Day 19: Wear a gift, or second hand outfit, wear red
How did you feel today?

The top was what I was highlighting today. It was something my sister had passed onto me when she didn't want it any more and I love it - even though I am not sure the colour is the right red for me. The skirt was new so I wanted to wear it too! Today's outfit would have been better if.....
I am not sure this skirt is right with this top - the skirt may need a slightly longer top or a different one altogether and I usually wear pants with the top.
What did this outfit say?
I felt pretty stylish :-)
Did it feel comfortable?
Yes, the skirt is very comfortable - I am really enjoying jersey fabrics and I like the style of this.
Did you feel good in it?
I did and I got compliments which is always nice
Anything else about how you felt or what surprised you so far?
I do feel I am learning more about what works and doesn't and perhaps being a bit more discerning. I also like taking photos of my outfit and then scrutinising them later.

Day 26: Wear Green
How did you feel today?
I was really unsure that this was the "right" green for me as it has "cool" undertones and I am supposed to be "warm".
Today's outfit would have been better if.....
I tried putting on a necklace with green stones and an olive green band, but I think that just confused the outfit and I would have been better off with something different.
I was also conscious of my cleavage in the top underneath so I might have chosen something less tight or revealing too.
 What did this outfit say?
I am not sure - maybe I tried to say I was trendy or confident but I don't know if it worked.
Did it feel comfortable?
Yes, the skirt is an old favourite that I keep thinking I should ditch but it works, the jacket is jersey so it's quite stretchy.
Did you feel good in it?
Apart from the cleavage, I felt good and I was complimented for it so that made me more confident about it.
Anything else about how you felt or what surprised you so far?

I really enjoy this challenge when it is about clothing, not so much when it is about rings, hats, etc - which is why I have left those for the holidays!!
