Changing Roles, Changing Outfits

I work from home one day a week and I usually feel weird dressing up on a day I'm home; so it's just jeans and a top with minimal jewelry for me. But on many days, like I've mentioned before I do so many things and play so many roles that my outfit has to change with every role or activity. Mom (can I call myself chic mommy today), Engineer, Avon Lady, Singer...... and so on. So here goes.

Layering Done Right

I wrote about the versatile mustard cardigan and wore this same cardigan and pants here. After looking at the picture, I realize I was wrong with the layering. In my rush to get out of the house, I always wear a black tank under a cardigan. I never know what to wear as my base. Now, I think I know better. With my body shape, it's better to have a base that is not clingy. Lesson learnt!

Cardi - Target, (similar here)Shell Top - Tommy Hilfiger via Macy;s, Skinny Jeans - Target, Sandals - Via TJ Maxx,
Necklace - Avon

Don't be afraid, like me to invest in shells even though you know you will be layering it with a cardigan and they might be a little pricy. They go a long way in transforming and making your outfit work. The many colors on this shell makes it more versartile. I see myself wearing this many times.

Webster Sheath

I saw this Webster for Target dress on sale a few months ago and had to get it. I liked the quality, design and fit and couldn't pass it up. My body shape doesn't like sheath dresses but this one has the right cut. It was shorter than I would have liked, so I added 6 inches to the hem. No, I don't do DIY.....took it to my tailor.
The dress was the best choice for Monday morning. Woke up late and I needed a dress; not an outfit I had to mix and match. I also didn't need a slip or spanx. Layered it with a cardi and I was good to go.

I think I'm now suceeding in finding pieces and keeping only the ones that fit my body type and these pumps are so comfortable. I'm feeling the rust color for fall.

Blue Maxi

This Gap T-shirt maxi dress is living up to its name. It's very soft, comfortable and I could wear it to bed. It's also not clingy and hides all my flaws. It also has an A-line shape and balances out my inverted triangle shape. I like it when I find a maxi dress that does that.
