Bottled Sky

People should try not to make any important decisions when they’ve just woken up. That includes deciding what to wear to work, as shown by this tweet from last year:

This wardrobe workout is turning out to have more benefits that I initially thought. Not only am I making better use of the wardrobe I already have, but I have also stopped showing up to work with day-glo underwear shining through light-colored clothes. Woot!

Here’s what I wore for week two of my little experiment:

Military Monday. I think that cardigan is so cute it deserves a salute.

• Blue military-inspired cardigan – Bysi
• Gray henley camisole – Uniqlo
• Black skinny jeans – Freego
• Black round-toe slingbacks – Charles & Keith
• Black bow hairband – Montip

Laid-back Tuesday. I once wore that frog tank top while jumping off waterfalls.

• Dark gray pinstripe blazer – G2000
• Magenta miniskirt – tailor-made and patterned after the Forever 21 skirt I wore last Friday
• Gray tank top with frog design – Esprit
• Eggplant slingbacks – Covet
• Sunglasses – Folded & Hung

Wonderland Wednesday. The checkerboard pattern and the mary-janes-and-tights combo strike me as very Alice in Wonderland.

• Gray checkered tunic – Fab
• Purple tights – Zocks
• Black t-strap Mary Jane flats – Marks & Spencer
• Purple chiffon flower hair clip – Montip

Nautical Thursday. I’m kind of in love with navy and white stripes.

• Gray soft knit blazer – Urban Outfitters
• Navy and white striped knit tank – Ness
• Black skinny jeans – Freego
• Navy and white striped canvas sneakers – Urban Outfitters
• Silver hairband – Montip

Gleeful Friday. I realized after putting on the outfit that it looked like something Rachel Berry would wear. Did I tone it down? No, I added a pair of star earrings and totally went with it.

• Navy polo shirt – Nicole
• Red and white striped scarf – G2000
• Gray denim miniskirt – Crissa
• Red and white flats – Cartino Sonea
• White bow hairband – Montip

Guess what greeted me when I walked into the office on Friday? Accidental matching outfits!

Aren’t we adorable? Nothing makes a short person look even shorter than standing in between two giants. In my defense, Christina was wearing heels, while I was in flats.
