This week’s closet challenge from Ma Nouvelle Mode was ‘oversized shirt,’ and I just so happened to have one that I’d been waiting to wear. I tried on about a dozen different belts before settling on this one. And… I dunno. This look turned out ok. I’m satisfied with it, just not thrilled. I think it’s the odd hemline of the shirt on top of the oversized fit.
On the other hand, I’m very thrilled with these rust colored skinnies. The color palette of this outfit in general is happy-making. I feel like autumn incarnate.
This week is going pretty well so far. I’m still sticking to my new workout routine (week 4 going strong!), and pushed myself a bit today. It was an arm strength day, which means I now have jelly arms. It’s not as inconvenient as jelly legs, which makes going up and down the stairs tricky. Also, I’m reading the 2nd Fifty Shades book (my turn on the wait list finally), and find myself just skimming the sex scenes in order to get to the other stuff. Just to clarify, this is an unusual occurrence when I’m reading any type of romance novel. I just don’t find the sex scenes in this series particularly interesting, whereas I do find the non-sexual dynamic between Christian and Ana interesting. *shrug*

Aw, thanks Sandy! 😀
You put together some of the prettiest outfits ever, lady! Also, I gotta check out this challenge… I want so badly to start doing more What I Wore posts, but I constantly buy stuff that’s too tight, too big, or ends up with a stain mysteriously. -_-‘
I want the second Fifty Shades book so bad. It’s really refreshing that there’s an author writing them who actually knows about the lifestyle.
Aw, thank you Angie. 🙂 Definitely sign up for the challenge newsletter over at Ma Nouvelle Mode – she sends out a new idea every week.
I liked the 2nd book more than the 1st, for sure. Now I’m on the wait-list for the 3rd!
I love this outfit! I was just looking at those rust skinnies at Target today but couldn’t think of anything i could wear with them. CUTE!
Oh man, I have about a million things I want to wear with these! I may have gotten them in the mustard yellow, too… 😀
Thanks for stopping by!
I actually love this look. The colors are amazing and perfect for fall. You look great and I think the belt is perfect! I am so glad you chose to link up, you look great!! Nice to ‘meet’ you too! 🙂
Thank you so much! I’ve been subscribing to the closet challenge newsletter for awhile, but this is the first one where time + wardrobe combined nicely for me to link up. I’m so glad you stopped by! 😀
