Today is day 19 of this challenge.  I'm getting my hair cut (finally) this afternoon, so no morning picture :) .
Things I've learned in the last nearly 3 weeks.  I'm not a fashion plate, comfort is what drives what I wear and this dress is comfortable.  Lint rollers are a must, especially with dogs that shed like mine do.  I've spent both more and less time getting dressed.  Much of the last three weeks have been spent with copious amounts of snow; as I type this it is snowing outside, for the 3rd or 4th (I've lost count) day.  One would think that a sleeveless dress would be a crazy decision for springtime in Colorado, but having lived here nearly 30 years I know for a fact that layers are a necessary thing.  I have found different ways of wearing many of my "normal" clothing pieces and this is definitely not a bad thing.  So far no one has said anything about the fact that I've worn the same dress for so many days...but that could be the number of snow days we've had lately.

 Today is day 9 with the dress.  I need to work on my styling, which this weekend is merely "let's just hang out at home near the fire" with the blizzard the husband believed would (for the most part) miss us.  He's changed his tune, we've gotten over a foot and it's still snowing and snowing...and snowing.
This first week with the dress has been a learning one.  So far no one has said "hey did you wear that yesterday?" even tho for 3 days I wore the exact same thing with the dress (a long-sleeved t underneath) just added a duster, a t-shirt tied over the dress, and just plain.  Getting dressed is easier as I know what I'm wearing, accessorizing is more involved as I don't care to look the same every day.  So here are 8 of the nine photos of the past week and almost a half.  Eight days down...92 to go!

Day 2 With my photo buddy


Day 3, you really can't see the dress, and I have to say I'm not wild about the scarf.

Day 4 with my photobombers.  I need to find a better angle with the camera as this angle makes my body look bigger than necessary (it needs no help with looking bigger) and makes my head look small (my head may be empty, but it is not small.

I am hoping to find more inspiration for this challenge, but the dress is so comfy I could wear it as is and be perfectly happy.  Okay, maybe not "as is" since it's sleeveless and apparently we're supposed to get feet of snow this weekend.

I am looking forward to figuring out more creative ways to wear things with this dress. :)

A little challenge #Wool&100daydresschallenge

 

So this happened today.  A couple of weeks ago I decided to try the Wool& dress challenge.  Wear one of their wool dresses for 100 days, get a credit on your next dress.  I like wool, I like dresses, I enjoy getting a deal.  So here it is.  Got my Sierra dress and began this journey with my second covid vaccine. Love the fabric of the dress, love the dress...hopefully I will love it just as much 100 days from now.
