The dress arrived!! Yahoo… and just in the nick of time! I am so excited to get started with this challenge!!
For those of you who haven’t heard…I have been invited to do a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool& — and I am starting on 1/20/21. i hope…
Today’s goal:
- become familiar with the dress… and experiment with “dressing” it up and down!!
What’s in store for today:
I have a lot of stuff going on today…. and I wanted to try on a few looks… so here they are:
Did a quick weather check. Paired the dress with a down plaid pink Land’s End vest.
Really… just wanted to show you what the dress looked like!
Shoes are Sperry Topsiders and I picked up some Secret Treasures 80 denier super opaque tights. I think I am going to order some of their leggings (under $6!)
Getting ready for the inauguration. A pretty exciting time in history… and I live-streamed it on my laptop. Thought I would pair the dress with a soft wrap….
Did you catch Lady Gaga singing the National Anthem?
This for the rest of the day: drumming class, getting a trailer hitch installed, and going grocery shopping with my daughter, Number 1. (You can catch her in action in the post about purging…. where she weighed in on my wardrobe — go HERE!)
I am wearing a cropped courdory Levi Jacket and a scarf that I knit … and dyed the wool… a few years back.
This will be super comfortable.
That’s about it for the dress. But I do have some other dress related things to share!
Check these SUPER COOL converse low tops. Chuck Taylor’s with a twist. And they match my sunglasses. I’ll be sure to wear these !!
Found them at Goodwill.
And super cool leggings. These will put some spunk in my stride. Whoa….
Found them at Walmart.
This is just the beginning od the dress story. Just wait until tomorrow… I signed up for an online into class for Applacian Flatfooting and Clogging!
As part of the challenge, I will be posting my daily outfits on blog posts as well as social media with the hashtag #tracywearswool — please follow along — and see all the creative outfits that I can come up with!

SOME OF MY RECENT POSTS:
day 51:a little bit of soul
Sometimes it just takes a little bit to make things right. And apparently, I didn't have it. Not today, and certainly not when I took most of these photos. Maybe it was because I was peeved at a situation that I had no control over, or maybe I was distracted. But...
day 50: both sides now
I've looked at life from both sides now. And I still couldn't figure out which style to pick today. Part of me wanted to dress up... to celebrate hitting the halfway point of the dress challenge. Part of me said -- you need to do some work in the garden and run...
day 49: black coffee
Black Coffee...but you can skip the cigarettes! You see, I quit over 10 years ago... haven't had one since then. I started knitting about 40 ish years ago and used to make little baby sweaters and hats when the kids were little. But single motherhood... with 4 kids...
