Daily MelWear: Criteria

Oh, this outfit is not a favorite.

Tonight's gig is for the Santa Sisters, which requires black leggings, black boots and a black long-sleeved tee to wear underneath red tunics.

I don't particularly feel like changing, so I wanted to find an outfit that could incorporate those things except, oh WAIT - it's Thursday and that means jeans at work. I don't have to wear them but I promised a co-worker that I would, so that she isn't the only person wearing jeans. :) Now I had to add jeans to my list of required pieces.

I would have worn my skinny jeans but I don't think I would've been able to zip up the boots over leggings AND jeans.

So I'm wearing black leggings under my jeans, black knee-high boots and a black long-sleeved tee under my purple sweater. I was almost going to wear another black sweater on top of this but I really wanted more color in this outfit, so I picked the purple.  I don't have very many sweaters to choose from.

If only I could have worn anything at all that I wanted from my closet, without having to incorporate so many specific pieces into one outfit. That woulda been nice. Eh, oh well. And then I couldn't find any jewelry that made me happy with this sweater/neckline. Geez. I'm whiny today, sorry! :)

I'm getting some REALLY great submissions for my Favorite Holiday Party Outfits Post! Please email me your photos so that I can include your sparkles!!! My email is {aworkingmomscloset at gmail dot com}.

Black Belt: Kohl's (came with a dress)

  2. I think it works, but I understand the feeling of not liking an outfit because you're required to wear so many specific things. Hope your gig goes well tonight!

  7. You look great! :)

    You know, I think we all need to see a picture of you in your caroling outfit. You said it was Dickens-like? Or am I mistaken?? A Dickens-like caroling outfit would be so much fun to wear!

  10. Oh, no, makes me sad you don't like this one because I think it looks lovely! Between the color and the cut of the top there's a huge dose of feminine pretty. Great with no jewelry necessary.
