And the rain continues...
This'll be a quick post 'cause I'm wisely deciding to go to bed early tonight.
Here's a wrap-up on what I wore:
Thursday
Black pants and blue-and-white pinstriped button-down.
Yeah, a menswear-inspired look.
Look's Rating: Style - 6; Comfort - 7
Friday
Dark brown pants and dark purple V-neck
This look woulda worked better if these pants hadn't looked so worn. (sigh)

My weekend plans? Catch up on some tasks, watch a few DVDs and do some reading.
Wish you all an enjoyable weekend!

Bad Mood or Sleepy?
Finished reading David Browne's article in Rolling Stone on Whitney Houston, "The Diva and Her Dark Side." I always seem to learn something from Rolling Stone.
Weather is still rainy here. I don't know if it's the late hours that I've been keeping or what but I felt a bit indifferent to my look today. Not that I wanted to look ragged. It's just that it didn't bother me if my outfit was not especially dashing. I s'pose this indifference is what has caused me to have me to have a rather lackluster wardrobe.
Today, I wore my dark brown pants and a turquoise short-sleeved shirt. Since it's cooler what most people saw me wearing were my dark brown pants and my black jacket.
(Tea kettle is currently whistling.)
This morning, I worked on making a list of some habits that I'd like to track over the next 15 days. It'll be interesting to see how I go with sticking to that. It's now almost 2 weeks since I visited the gym. With the recent bad weather, it may take me even longer to visit the gym.
My vibe presently is that I don't wish to have too many obligations. Yeah, I clean my kitchen, go to work and pay my bills but if I don't have to fundamentally do something than I may not.
Gosh, I sound like I'm in a bad mood. I think I'm just sleepy.

Thursday - Sunday
Besides finishing the Joan of Arc book, I also watched Love Happens on DVD. I figure the movie was passable but the romance part of it didn't quite work for me. I like both of the actors (Aaron Eckhart and Jennifer Aniston) but I couldn't quite understand why they were a couple. Maybe Cameron Diaz woulda been better in the female lead. I dunno. Just a thought.
I haven't gone to the gym since last Sunday but here's a catch-up on what I wore during the rest of the work week. (My outfits do repeat so if something sounds familiar then it probably is.)
Thursday
Dark brown pants and black cowl-neck shirt with micro horizontal stripes.
The shirt is one of my favorites. In these pants though I was still plagued with the too-tight at the waist discomfort.

Friday
Dark blue jeans and cream-colored scooped-neck T
I've got the scooped-neck T in its dark brown and lavender versions as well. The jeans thankfully felt more comfortable than my other pants choices for the week.

Not sure what's on the horizon for this week. To be honest with you I'm not quite liking this the loss of an hour for today but I'll have to cope with it. Next week, we'll see if I'll resume daily postings of my outfits or if I'll just post according to how I feel.
Other than watching some DVDs and taking a much needed trip to the grocery store, I don't have anything else planned for the work week. Perhaps I'll set an early bedtime for myself or make some guest appearances at the gym. Qui sais?

It Sounds Dull...But
Thursday, alas! I'm getting closer to the weekend. I'll be back to having Saturdays and Sundays off this month so this time Friday does mean something to me.
Nothing too exceptional to report about my day. Work was pleasant enough. I forgot to get almonds from the store today but will pick up some tomorrow. Online, I saw that Men in Black 3 is coming out this month and 21 Jump Street. Don't know if I'll see either one...
Wore dark brown pants and my black-and-gray striped shirt. The color combo brown-black-gray does sound dull but I really like this look. The shirt is a scoop-necked one by Land's End and although black shirts usually don't flatter me, this one works. My only plaint about this look is that the shirt is too low (shrunk while drying) and the pants were feeling too high therefore I was on the lookout for any flooding or wardrobe malfunctioning.

Do you get rid of clothes that compliment you in every way but the fit or do you tolerate them? Have you worn a color combo that may sound dull but it actually works for you?

Bordeaux '96
Usually in the mornings, I'll start by listening to an affirmation CD, then I'll play some Radiohead and while fixing breakfast I'll listen to a French CD followed by an audiobook/teleseminar.
This past week, I haven't felt like listening to all of that. I'll still listen to Rainbows while doing toning exercises but I've put my French CD and Not So Big Life audiobook on pause for awhile. I just feel like thinking my own thoughts, ya know?
For today, I'll be wearing my dark brown pants and a light brown wool sweater. The sweater is showing its age but it's got sentimental value for me. I got it back in '96 from a li'l cheapie store in Bordeaux. I spent about 50 francs ($10) on it and it's still sorta holding up. It's a man's sweater and at the time it was too big for me. 16 years later, the fact that it's stretched out from washings and wear simply makes me think what's the diff?

What clothes do you have a sentimental attachment to? Do you still wear them in public or are they politely restricted to the indoors?

A Closet Find
Typically, when stylists or organizers suggest that someone shop their closet to put together a new look, I'd scoff at the idea. I was pretty certain that I knew what was clothes were in my closet. This morning though I contradicted myself: I discovered a pair of camel-colored courdoroys stuffed inside of a Target bag from last autumn. While I remembered that I'd gotten 2 pairs of dark brown pants and a pair of black ones, I'd completely forgotten about the cords. I'm looking forward to adding them to my "rotation." I'm also wondering with the warmer weather approaching are the courdoroys gonna look kinda odd.
For today-o, I wore my dark brown pants and a purple long-sleeved V-neck. All-in-all, it wasn't such a bad look. Yes, it could've been snazzier but at least this outfit is an improvement from some of my other ensembles. I even got a compliment on my purple shirt. : )

You've probably heard this before but could you benefit by checking your closet for any overlooked items? Also, how would you style courdoroy pants for the spring or summer?
