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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
