Evolve your style - shop your wardrobe. The 31 day challenge

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 1: wear a statement necklace
How did you feel today?
Comfortable
Today's outfit would have been better if.....
There was not so much black at the bottom - maybe a contrast skirt??
The neckline had have been lower so that the necklace stood out more
What did this outfit say?
I am going to work
Did it feel comfortable?
Yes
Did you feel good in it?
I like wearing it as it is loose and free flowing
Anything else about how you felt or what surprised you so far?
It might work better with a different skirt or necklace and maybe some boots?






Day 2: wear something old
How did you feel today?
A bit boring - I love the shirt but I have worn it a lot
Today's outfit would have been better if.....
I had been more daring??
It probably looks better with the scarf (below)
What did this outfit say?
I am comfortable but don't get too exciting
Did it feel comfortable?
Yes
Did you feel good in it?
I always get compliments for the shirt so yes
Anything else about how you felt or what surprised you so far?
I tried on a different shirt with a frill but I felt too silly in it - I probably should throw it out



Day 3: wear a scarf all day
How did you feel today?
I felt good - the scarf with a shirt that I had always thought was too sheer made me feel confident. Also my husband complimented me so it must have looked good :-)
Today's outfit would have been better if.....
I had brown flat shoes instead of black.
What did this outfit say?
I am comfortable with myself and confident in how I look
Did it feel comfortable?
Yes
Did you feel good in it?
Yes
Anything else about how you felt or what surprised you so far?
So far I don't think I have moved very far out of my comfort zone





Day 4: wear something pink
How did you feel today?
Good - I really liked feeling feminine but needed a jacket to be warm enough - I haven't worn this combination before but I liked it!!
Today's outfit would have been better if.....
I had left the camisole under it not tucked in - you can see the black skirt
What did this outfit say?
I can look professional but be comfortable if I try
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 am exploring my wardrobe with fresh eyes!




Day 5: wear a dress
How did you feel today?
This is one of my favourite dresses so I love wearing it, especially with my orange-patterned stockings! I put on a pair of brown boots I haven't worn in ages and I thought it looked good. I teamed it with the leopard print jacket for cooler weather wearing.
Today's outfit would have been better if.....
I didn't have a line around my middle where my pantyhose finish
What did this outfit say?
I am confident in how I look in this outfit (but I could lose some weight on my waistline)
Did it feel comfortable?
Yes, it is a stretchy material in the dress so it is very comfortable
Did you feel good in it?
Yes
Anything else about how you felt or what surprised you so far?
Some of my favourites work well for me and maybe I won't throw out my old boots!!
