Day One/Two

Thursday, Sept. 23rd, marked the first day of My Wardrobe Challenge. I'm on Day Two and so far so good! Picking out outfits each day has now taken on a whole new meaning.

Day one

On Thursday I opted for a pair of gray slacks (Gordmans, $17), red tube top (Gordmans $8), a white cardigan (Dillards, $8) and a pair of sandals I picked up at Payless for around $12.  Total cost of for this outfit was about $45. 

Day Two

The pants I'm wearing today, Friday, are not one of my favorites so I wanted to get them out of the way sooner rather than later. They are from New York & Company and are a hand-me-down from a friend (thanks Jonna!). They are super comfortable and could double as pj's, but I feel fat when I wear them. I'm not big on the wide-leg pants and tend to favor straight-legged or boot-cut. The black shirt is from the Banana Republic Outlet and probably cost about $10. If you don't have a BR outlet near you, find one. I refuse to buy (actually I can't afford to buy) clothing from the real Banana Republic so I go to the outlet instead. Similar clothes, same BR quality (which I have found to be excellent!) but for a much lower price. If you look online you can usually find a coupon for additional discounts and, when paired with in-store savings (like when they put the entire store on sale for 40% off), you end of saving quite a bit. I did wear the same sandals as yesterday making the total of today's outfit just over $20.

Now, it's the weekend, and it's weird to say, but I can't wait until Monday!
