When I saw that the prompt for today was “Layers” I REALLY wanted to wear some open-weave tights over solid colored ones. Problem is, I don’t own any open-weave tights. And while I had planned to go to Kohl’s on Saturday to buy some with a gift card that’s been languishing unused in my purse, we ended up going to Lowe’s to buy a dishwasher instead.
Not the same.
So while today’s outfit is not nearly as cool as I’d hoped it would be, at least I’m not washing all our dishes by hand anymore. Hooray for modern technology!
P.S. Mila and I went to Kohl’s today to get those tights I didn’t get a chance to buy on Saturday. Because the seven or eight pairs I already own just aren’t sufficient for my needs. Because, you know, it’s SO COLD here.
Am I allowed to be annoyed that it’s like 70 degrees in January?

Haha. I hate when that happens. You have the best idea for an outfit but don't have what you need! Doesn't matter though, you look great!

Thanks! Maybe the new tights will make an appearance later in the challenge. 🙂

Riiight there with you in the annoying 70-in-Jan club. I want to wear a coat, dang it!
I LOVE your pictures. Such a fun little spot. And your outfit is fantastic..casual but still pulled together.

I do wish it were a little colder – or at least consistent so I know what to wear day to day.
I like the t-shirt layered with the button up.
Great minds think alike – because I started my layered outfit with lace tights over solid gray tights.

Kayla: SERIOUSLY. My coat is so cute! Why won't the weather cooperate? Also thanks. I'm glad it worked out as well as it did.
Rose: Yay us! And what a good idea it was…your layers are darling!
