Dress Me Up - Lisa Week!

Predictions-

Right off the bat, I think Lisa will dress me close to how I already dress myself, but probably a little nicer. Not only have I bought most of my clothes with her, she has been a major inspiration to my personal sense of fashion while growing up. I like to think we dress similar- we wear most of the same sizes too! Although she is extremely well tuned to how I prefer to dress, I predict she will add more accessories and layers than I normally would. Honestly I'm looking forward to Lisa picking out some pretty killer outfits!

Monday 15th

Monday

Green tunic and grey leggings 
orange scarf, rose studs

Today was a baby-filled day for me. After nannying in the day, I babysat all evening for a friend of mine. Thankfully Lisa kept this in mind while picking my green sweater tunic and grey leggings. Hey-- that's what I usually wear on Mondays! She added my little gold rose studs and a scarf, which I would never think to wear with this top, since it already has a cowl neck. Surprisingly I liked how it draped after she suggested I tie it into an infinity scarf, and I was super warm all day.

Tuesday 16th

Tuesday

black jeans, polka dot chambray, blue sweater vest
layered pearls, knitted cap

This sweater vest is from a store that no longer exists unfortunately, and I've had it since high school. I don't wear it much any more, so I was glad to see it make an appearance today! Lisa also added my favorite chambray and suggested I "tszuj" up the sleeves a bit. Since I had a lot of blue already, we leaned towards black denim on bottom. She asked if I had any long pearls, and this necklace was the closest I had- another piece that doesn't make its way out often. Finally, Lisa chose a knitted cap to wear while taking LB to the zoo.

Wednesday 17th

Wednesday

black yoga pants, cut off yellow tee, 

slouchy grey cardigan

"Funky 80s comfy" was the vibe Lisa wanted to go for today. Since I had the day off to stay home and organize, she made sure I had layers to work with. I was mostly warm while moving around cleaning, but I was pleased to have the cardigan while watching movies later in the evening with J and his roommate. Their opinion on today's look? I look like Frankie from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. Eh, I see it.

Thursday 18th

Thursday

Striped sweater, white button up, black a-line skirt

black thermal tights, pink studs, tear drop necklace

Hey hey hey it's Thursday again, and you know what that means- museum day!!! Seriously, why am I the only one excited about this... The Butterfly Haven had cute little heart sponges this week for Valentine's Day. What's cuter than festive love butterflies??
As we were indoors again, Lisa decided to layer a lighter weight striped sweater over my white button up. Accessories were minimal with my pink studs and pink tear drop necklace. For my bottoms, she chose to pair a plain black a-line skirt with my thermal tights. I had to wear my snow boots again, but at least my legs were warm when walking outside! 

Friday 19th

Friday

Base- blouse, back jeans, leaf necklace, green drop earrings

Day- oatmeal cardigan, blue braided belt, black studded flats

Night- moto-jacket, knitted scarf, black booties, cat clutch

I'm in love with today's outfit. Lisa knew I had to nanny all day, but then J and I were going out to the movies at night. The weather was beautiful today, though really windy, so I could finally wear some lighter layers. The base outfit was black jeans, green watercolor tunic blouse, long leaf necklace, and green drop earrings. During the day she added my oversized oatmeal cardigan belted with my black studded flats. Then for the night, we swapped that out for a moto jacket and black booties. I added my big knit infinity scarf because the wind was a lot chillier once the sun set. You can also see my Betsy Johnson cat clutch peeping out from my hand. Not only was this a seamless transition from day to night, but I felt super cute in each outfit separately, and would totally wear them again. Love love love.

Saturday 20th

Saturday

Spider-Gwen hoodie, long tee, 

comic book leggings, converse

Oh, rocking my favorite sweater in the world, favorite sweater in the world, woahhh wooo! That's a little diddy I wrote you about my, you guessed it, ~favorite sweater~. My Dad and Lisa got this Spider-Gwen hoodie for me for Christmas and I was ecstatic about it. Oh, and did I mention that it came with a Spider-Gwen mask?! Aw yiss. Today was a beautiful day to stay in and open up the windows to paint, but I also had some errands to run. So, basically that meant pants. Lame. Lisa chose my comic book leggings and long tee to finish off the ensemble. I absolutely love the look. Lisa was trying to figure out- how to look cute while laying around at home. And as it happens, that was exactly how I felt! 

Sunday 21st

Sunday

Navy Skirt, button up, blazer, cranberry tights, 

raspberry beret, pearl earrings saddle shoes

See that raspberry beret? Yeah, I totally found it at a secondhand store. By the laws of nature, I knew it had to buy it. That's like an unspoken rule, right? Well, after looking through my hat options, Lisa was inspired by the beret to create this "vintage flair" getup. She even asked if there was a chance I owned saddle shoes. Oh, you know I do... Pearl earrings were the perfect understated addition to tie into the theme. This peter pan collared cream polka dot button up matched perfectly to this navy nautical-esque skirt. To keep warm and dress it up a bit, Lisa thought this brown blazer (it has elbow pads!) and cranberry tights would match in rather well. She was correct to think so.

Originally I had plans to go out to karaoke, but my friends and I had a last minute chance to see a musical, so we took advantage of that instead. I received numerous compliments and a comment about looking like I was a part of some French rebellion. Touche... 

Reflections-

What a great week! I definitely feel like Lisa delivered on my expectations and gave me outfits that fit my style and activities. Not as many accessories as I had anticipated (not a bad thing) and no suggestions on hair or makeup, so I used my own discretion and kept things simple. I was, however, pleasantly surprised at the addition of hats for a couple days, and learned that there's always room for a scarf to bring out an interesting detail. For my lounging around days I appreciated having something to stylish to wear while being practical and comfortable- not just laying around in pajamas all day. And I definitely have a new day to night outfit that will make a comeback at least once! Thank you Lisa!

Next week, on Raggedy Amy- 

Will my Grandmother dress me modestly from head to toe or leave me half naked in the snow? Come back next Monday to find out!
