Winter Edition: Day 1--Layers
Aaaaaand The Challenge: Winter Edition begins!
Day 1's challenge is to do layers. I just bought this cardigan at H&M and was excited to wear it, only then in my dream last night my sister Jenny saw it and said it looked like a "mom cardigan." I will be accepting her apology until the end of the business day. (Note to my own mother: in my dream Jen meant "mom" in the general, not "Mom" in the specific.)
First I tried putting it over a button-up shirt, but I sort of hated that. Or maybe I just hated the shirt. After seeing Merrick's post I got the idea to try it over a dress.

After getting dolled up I went to buy groceries and felt like the fanciest person at Smith's Marketplace. I would have worn my black boots but I have a sore toe that makes them too painful to wear. (Actually, it's a corn. Okay, fine, two corns. Way to be jerks and drag that out of me, Internet. Either way, boots = ouch.)
Anybody else going to give this a try?
I'm Steph, a librarian and mom of 3 (not sure how that happened). Let's chat books, food, Sumptuous Literary Adaptations, poop, knitting and maybe some crazy Mormon Feminism.

love your outfit! I too, felt fancy while grocery shopping!
You look fantastic!! I did it. For today! We'll see if I can stick with it. I uploaded to Flickr since I'm private and all.
Thanks for your encouragement. It's fun to think about the same old stuff a different way.
Alright - I'm going out on a limb here . . . one of my new year's resolutions is to make some new friends and well . . . I've been following your blog so I thought . . . maybe we could be friends in real life. Does that sound awkward and weird? Like I am in third grade? Don't answer that. But I have decided that I might as well tell you that I like your blog and I think you seem fun.
Very much NOT a mom sweater. But Jenny should still apologize :)
And what are you wearing?
I like it. The unexpected pop of color in the bracelet makes it, I think. I love your shoes too.
Love the pop of color in the scarf, so cute!
Now that I see the sweater, I totally agree with my jerk dream self. HA!
Just kidding! (Imagine me saying it like Meg)
Cute! I love that cardigan, and the scarf with it is so adorable. You look great!
Your outfit is great and your son is super cute!
The stripes are adorable. Love it!

Cute layers! I love your purple scarf!

I'm almost always the fanciest person at the grocery store. I've made my peace.
I love it over the dress! I'd get a ton of wear out of a cardigan like that. It's definitely not a mom piece.
