My mom asked me, “do you have to wear a slip with that dress?” And I replied, “Only if you want to.” Well, today, I wanted to.
It’s the 6th day, and I am having a lot of fun. I find my self thinking… what if? Like What if I wear a slip, what if I put a shirt under Woolamina, what if I wear crazy leggings and a sweatshirt, pearls, and Chuck Taylors??
I am in a Facebook group, hosted by Wool&, and I get so much encouragement and so many ideas from the other participants. So I am starting to try a lot of new things– with things that I already own — new outfit combinations, trying out makeup, adding jewelry and accessories that I haven’t used for a long time.
And it has been a LOT of fun.
For those of you who still haven’t heard…I am involved in a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool& — Same dress. 100 days. Part of my reasons for deciding to do this was to simplify my life, especially with the weekly travels.
Today’s goals:
- Put together a new outfit — and wear a slip!
- Organize my shirt closet by color a type.
What’s in store for today:
Basically another quiet day on the South Washington coast. Raining like crazy… which is why I am doing my photos inside that cargo container that holds the wood. Today, I want to organize my small closet that holds most of my vast collection of shirts, by type first and then by color. Also… I’d like to get 4 out of my 6 kitchen drawers organized and get a bag together for donations from both my closet and kitchen.
The sweater is from H&M and is a thrift store find. The Carhartt vest is one of my favorites — fleece lined! – and a gift from Number 1.
The boots — another pair of vintage KEENS.. of course.
WOOLAMINA — is what I call my Rowena Swing Dress from Wool@. Iron gray and soft merino wool makes it easy to wear all day long. No itch, and no pilling.
In case you are wondering… I have started wearing this long-lasting lip color that my friend Ashley sells. One of those things that lasts all day, and doesn’t come off in you mask. Let me know, and I’ll get her information for you. ( And this is something new for me… but then so is doing mini-photoshoots of my outfits!)
And I started wearing earrings again. These are my favorites — sterling and opals.
And me — hiking up my dress to fix my slip — which i hadn’t noticed was slightly crooked for most of the photos. All cotton, ordered off of WISH.
So, wear a slip if you like, but you don’t have to. It does provide an extra layer for warmth, though!
