Outfit: April 18th – PMT Challenge Day 17
I liked this challenge outfit as it’s the kind of thing I would wear anyway, especially when the weather is as nice as it was this day. One of my colleagues was leaving the company so we all went to the pub at lunchtime and sat outside in the sun with our drinks. Someone commented that it had been a long time since it had been warm enough to do that and she was right, it has been a really long winter. It was nice to enjoy some sunshine whilst we got the chance.

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 16th – PMT Challenge Day 15
Another day, another sub on the challenge. This time it was the grey cardi in place of an oatmeal one as I thought it went better, and it is a lighter knit. Spring has FINALLY arrived in the Frozen North and so there was no need for a chunky knit (for once!). I also swapped out my nude flat (which I only just wore on Saturday) and matched my green flats to the earrings I got for my birthday.

Outfit: April 15th – PMT Challenge Day 14
This outfit was supposed to have the olive pants with it, but as it was the weekend I subbed in blue jeans instead. And I felt like the black cardi played nicely with the black in the print of the blouse. This was a great outfit for a day out with my little sister and my nieces in York.

Outfit: April 14th - PMT Challenge Day 13 and My Birthday Outfit
So the oatmeal cardi got ditched in favour of a blazer again! It was my birthday and we went out for lunch with all the family. I just like a blazer and jeans, what can I say? I was a very lucky girl and got a lovely new handbag with rose gold hardware, so I matched my shoes with the rose gold tips. I also got the fabulous leopard print Nickel and Suede earrings that I'm wearing.

Outfit: April 13th - PMT Challenge Day 11
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.

Outfit: April 11th – PMT Challenge Day 10
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.

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 9th – PMT Challenge Day 8
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.
