Little Black Skirts

Once my mother told me that the well dressed woman can put together twenty different outfits (one for each work day of the month) without repeating in that month. I didn't think to ask her if you could repeat parts of each outfit during that month. I am going to try to do this (clearly I need a hobby) and I think I am going to only repeat shoes (though I could probably do it without repeating shoes).

Ok, today (day one) I wore a black skirt and a black and cream top with a 60's inspired design, black stockings and black wedges. It was nearly 60 degrees today, in January in Michigan, and right now we are having a thunderstorm of all things.

Tomorrow I am going to wear something else, but it will involve a black skirt, as I also discovered that I have nearly 25 black skirts. I am going on a business trip Wednesday and returning Thursday. I was going to try and travel with one small bag, only changing the top I was wearing, but since I am on this 20 day program I am going to have to pack a little more.

We have casual Fridays, and can wear jeans. I have never understood why Jeans are supposed to be a treat to wear, they only look good on the young and firm, and they are not really forgiving. I think it would be better if we had sweats Fridays, but luckily I have more than one pair of jeans, so I wont have to repeat those outfits. I actually got my first pair of jeans my freshman year in college, so me having more than one pair of jeans is shocking. I went to private school and we were not allowed to wear jeans, and until high school we were not really allowed to wear pants, except if it was under 20 degrees, so in reality it has taken me a long time to even think of wearing pants, let alone jeans.

I am going to have to keep some sort of log to make sure I make my 20 outfits without a repeat. Clearly the need for a hobby grows.
