So here's the previous day's challenge outfit that was definitely better suited to casual Friday. Especially as I like my jeans with rips. I switched out the cosy oatmeal cardi though, as a it wasn't that cold out (shocker, I know!) and the blazer was a bit smarter with the ripped jeans.

Outfit: April 12th – PMT Challenge Day 12 and an Early Birthday Present

Did you notice that I skipped a day? I thought the day 12 prompt was more Thursday appropriate than the day 11 one, which features blue jeans. So I saved day 11 for Friday and went with this outfit instead. I could have worn a white t shirt, but I figured the white button down shirt was more ‘work’. Although my office is pretty casual (hence the trainers) so I probably would have been fine in my jeans on a Thursday.

My parents got me some more Nickel and Suede earrings for my birthday (thanks Mom! Thanks Dad!). My birthday wasn’t for another two days at the time of writing but as the earrings were shipped to my address I figured I could wear them a couple of days early. These are the Green Fatigue ones in large which will go with much of my wardrobe, such a fan as I am of army green.

The top shown in today’s outfit prompt is a navy sweater with lemons printed on it, which is from Old Navy. We don’t have Old Navy in the UK (sadly, as they do some awesome Tall items) and this sweater is roughly the same colour pallet (minus the yellow of the lemons of course) so it is a pretty good substitute which was already in my closet.

Secondly, I am loving these white trainers. They are super comfortable and they look a little smarter than regular sneakers because they are faux-leather.

I always love an outfit that includes this jacket. I’m not sure I would put my brogues with these pants again, but the morning I wore this it was too wet for flats and the pants are slightly too cropped for ankle boots. I could have worn tall boots but this is supposed to be a spring challenge, you know? Anyhow, an outfit that combined burgundy and army green was good for me as I would never have put those two shades together myself.

And can you spot my favourite shop?! :)

I skipped Day 7 because the prompt was for a dress and although spring seemed to have FINALLY arrived in the Frozen North, it still wasn’t warm enough for the dress I wanted to wear. And the outfit was to put it with a denim jacket and sneakers which is a look I love, but we had an 80th birthday lunch to attend and I needed to wear something smarter. So I will tag day 7 onto the end of the challenge, by which time it will be May and (fingers crossed) warmer.

Day 8 should be white jeans again but as I’m not doing white jeans it’s the khaki jeggings with blue and red.

We had friends up for the weekend so this was a great outfit for feeling put together whilst showing them around the city. The day started out wet so my trainers were totally appropriate as they are faux-leather and therefore waterproof.

A cosy cardigan for Day 5 of the challenge which was great as it was a little chilly outside again. I liked this outfit but I think it did need the earrings and shoes to pull it together. When I initially got dressed I was thinking of swapping the cardi for a blazer but once I added the accessories it looked better.

So yeah, I caved in and got some more Nickel and Suede earrings. I have my birthday this month and my mom was getting me a couple of pairs as a gift. I ended up doing the order myself so added in this white pair since I was paying the shipping anyway.

I think this is my favourite combination of the challenge so far! I wasn’t sure that the narrow sleeves of my denim jacket would work over the floaty sleeves of this top, but the top is so lightweight that it isn’t a problem. The prompt for today was actually cinnamon jeans, but I don’t have any of those and wasn’t about to go a buy a pair, so I am subbing in burgundy each time the cinnamon ones come up and I think it’ll work fine. The mustard top felt very ‘spring’ on a lovely sunny day.

So, this isn’t an outfit I would have come up with by myself, and I’m still not sure on the teal/olive combo, but that’s what the outfit guide said so I went with it. Loving the striped blazer with the teal top though! And for me, part of this challenge was to get over my, not ‘fear’ exactly, but apprehension about pairing red and green shades outside of December. So I added a red necklace and shoes as my accessories, rather than going with navy shoes which was my natural instinct.

So the snow melted and the sun came out and I was able to actually wear something resembling spring for my second outfit of the challenge. The light was OK when I took these pictures but the cardigan (which is actually army green) looks super washed out for some reason. I am subbing this cardi or my green biker jacket in place of a utility jacket, which I don’t have and don’t need so I didn’t buy one even though it was on the challenge capsule wardrobe list. I figured a different item in the same colour would work just as well, and it does.
