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
