PMT Challenge - Days 27-31 Catch Up

Here's the second installment of my PMT outfit round up posts!

Day 27

The second day of my weekend away, this was great in the rain. I subbed out the denim jacket that was suggested for a cardigan as it was easier to pack!

It was still too chilly for this dress really, but a jersey blazer is cosier than a real blazer.

Outfit: April 20th – PMT Challenge Day 18

So this is the day 18 outfit I didn’t wear the previous day. It’s unlike me to not wear jeans on casual Friday but these olive pants are fairly casual anyway, and probably less warm than jeans. The heat had abated from the previous couple of days although the forecast was still for warm sunshine. A light jacket was just the job (although it was still five days before April 25th, which is officially Light Jacket Day).

Top – TK Maxx

Outfit: April 19th – PMT Challenge Day 19

I skipped a day again as the weather forecast was for high temperatures again and it seemed a shame not to wear a dress. Day 18 is coming up in the next post.

So we had a couple of days lovely weather mid-April and this dress was perfect. I did not need the jacket really, but this challenge teaches the importance of a ‘completer piece’ and sometimes I get chilly sitting in the office so it’s always nice to have something there, just in case.

Jacket – Tall Girls
Dress – Boohoo Tall

Outfit: April 17th – PMT Challenge Day 16

The prompt for today included jeans but I couldn’t do that because, well, work and Tuesday so I swapped them for a denim skirt. I had a half a mind to change the skirt for navy trousers but I stuck with it as I hardly wear skirts these days and the weather was supposed to be perking up and getting warmer the week I wore this (though at the time of writing it was grey and dull outside). I liked this with the skirt but I will add the jeans version on to the end of the challenge, if for no other reason than to get another wear out of this top.

Outfit: April 10th – PMT Challenge Day 9

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?! :)

Outfit: April 5th – PMT Challenge Day 4

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.

Outfit: April 2nd - PMT Challenge Day 1 (Also Easter Monday)

Easter Monday is another bank holiday in the UK (yay for 4 day weekends!) and the day that the Putting Me Together spring challenge officially started. My outfit wasn't quite what I would have planned because this:

Yeah, my old nemesis the snow came back for a final (it had BETTER be final) visit of the season. So instead of the blazer I probably would have worn, I opted for a cosy knit as my top layer. But it's still colourful and I felt put together even for just hanging out at home and doing some chores/playing Crush Letters on my iPad. And needless to say I did not actually leave the house in these shoes.

Having finished the Couch to 5K app the day before (a second post about running is coming soon!) I would have liked to have got out and made a start on the 5K to 10K programme that I'm going to attempt next but it wasn't to be.

Outfit: March 29th – Striped Blazer, Ripped Jeans, Burgundy Blouse

How to smarten up ripped jeans for the office: add a blazer, blouse and dressy (pointed) flats. Or you could add heels if that’s your thing but (whispers) I don’t really wear heels any more.

I’m not sure I’ve mentioned this here, but you probably will have noticed that since I started walking to work almost two years ago the number of pairs of heels I wear has diminished to almost none. Time was when I couldn’t resist a pretty pair of heels, but now I am just ‘gimme all the trainers’. I am a flats and trainers girl these days predominantly, with the odd pair of heels thrown in for a special occasion. I hardly recognise myself. J

Outfit: March 21st – Army Green, Blush and Grey

I am doing the Putting Me Together spring challenge (read all about it here!) and although it doesn’t officially start until April 2nd, there are a bunch of bonus outfits in the guide that I am having fun trying out in advance. This is one of them! The challenge will be good for me in encouraging me to put items together that I wouldn’t necessarily have thought to pair up, and to push me a little out of my comfort zone when it comes to trying new things. Take this top for example. I probably wouldn’t have picked it out myself but it’s similar to one used in the challenge and I needed something to fit the description of that item. Turns out I actually really like it, and it goes with lots of items already in my closet because of the colours in the print – black, white, blue, burgundy, pink.
