january simple wardrobe

first a little look back at december's simple wardrobe:  i really liked the pieces and found them totally adequate and satisfying.  i love a pale color palette for the winter months.  a pale tan or pale grey sweater with faded denim feels cozy, calm and happy.  i didn't wear my short brown boots, but instead continued to wear my silver tennies (they are leather converse type shoes).  i think i may sell the boots.  i bought them thinking they would be quite versatile to wear with both pants and dresses, but i haven't worn them as much as i'd like.  i didn't wear my red plaid scarf, since december wasn't very cold.  that has changed!  

january and february are the really cold months here.  i only have 3 warm sweaters, so those will remain in this collection.  the dresses and tops that i wore this month are the best i have for layering under these sweaters, so those will stay the same as well.  i think i will switch my vintage levis out for a darker pair that i like to wear with a wide cuff...just for a change.  

there aren't many changes, but here are the pieces for my january simple wardrobe:

tops:
~white tee
~indigo tee
~blue/black plaid shirt
~cream striped tee
~navy striped tee

dresses:
~denim/linen 
~grey ikat 

bottoms:
~wide cuff jeans
~skinny jeans
~leggings

sweaters:
~tan wool pullover
~grey wool/cashmere cardigan
~marl wool cardigan

footwear:
~silver tennies or mid-calf brown boots (we'll see)
~tall caramel boots

​total:  15 pieces

above is a view of what my closet looks like from day to day.  a few things are being worn or are in the laundry...as usual.  sorry, i didn't tidy it up at all- so those are my pajamas roughly folded there to the right.  :)

no new pieces yet, but we'll see.  i have a sewing project in the works.  and...i'll show you my warmer layers soon.  :)  i definitely need them now!

love,
jane
