Wow. Last week was a waste. I was sick nearly all week (I didn’t do ANYTHING) and this morning was the first morning I woke up actually breathing through my nose! So far…so good.
I’m also done with the 30for30 outfit challenge. My heart wasn’t in it towards the end, and Thanksgiving being in the middle made it really difficult to stick to and all the sales made it too tempting to shop. I’m glad I tried though, and I did prove to myself what I already mostly knew: I have A LOT of clothes that I don’t wear very often. I do like to have them around though, for when I do feel like wearing them, but there are only a few things in my closet that I wear a lot. I’m convinced that’s the natural order of things, and while I would like to think that it’s possible to have a completely pared down closet of ONLY the things you wear all the time, what fun would that be??
Today I’m wearing:
Current Elliot boyfriend jeans
White LnA tee
Inhabit NY Cashmere cardigan
Repetto cap-toe flats
Jas M.B. handbag – all the Jas M.B. bags are on sale at tobi.com in their events section right now. You have to sign-in for access, and my specific bag isn’t there anymore, but there are some other styles available at GREAT prices.
This outfit looks so great on you. The flats are precious (I love the cap toe detail!) and that sweater fits you like a glove. I am always in awe of your ability to look effortlessly stylish- so classy!!
Sometimes little things like this help shake you out of a boring look. And you’re right… now you know that you have an abundance of clothing (like you didn’t know that already!).
Great look, G! 🙂

But if fashion were only about NEEDS, just think how mundane that would be. We use it to express who we are! “If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gum drops, oh what a rain that would be!” (Barney…yes, the big purple dinosaur)
Hey Grechen! You look fantastic- I love this outfit. Effortlessly chic. I have a quick question for you and other Inhabit buyers…if I purchased a sweater using the Cyber Monday code is it eligible for a refund, or considered a “sale” item? I can’t seem to find promo code specific info on their website. Thanks so much!
Grechen, glad to hear you are feeling better!
Oh, my gosh, you talking about having alot of clothes. I miss those days of having too many pieces to make several cute, cute, cute outfits. Getting back though. I’ve been adding to my wardrobe as well all online. lol I think every woman should walk out of the house looking grand and nothing wrong with having too much in the closet. Keep on shopping cause only having what you wear all the time ends up just that, you wearing it all of the time.
thanks tina 🙂
i found this on their cyber monday e-mail:
is that the code you used? then it seems like it’s not final sale, or it would have said there – it should also say on your shipping invoice/receipt if it’s final sale. if it doesn’t, i say it’s fair game for a refund…
you always speak the truth 😉
