No-Frump February

Between the blizzard of 2011 and several on-going re-organization projects at work, I've spent most of January looking tres ragamuffin.

I have decided to put my knee-high boot down on this one. No frump.

Rules
  • wear a skirt two days a week
  • wear jewelry
  • no tennis shoes
  • no jeans unless they are styled

Why
  • To break the unkempt cycle.
  • The exhausted look is so 2010.
  • I specifically went winter skirt shopping in December and don't intend to lose the opportunity to remix.
  • Several packages of unopened tights sit in my drawer.
  • My killer boot collection isn't so useful in the spring.
  • Cute clothes don't have to be reserved for parties and dates.
  • Apparel isn't getting any chic-er just hanging in the closet. I either wear it or ditch it.
  • A little effort makes me feel creative.

Care to join me?

totally agreed! all of it. i love skirts -- they make me look like i care and i'm in the game, even when i'm not.

I've been frumpy with makeup/hair lately, so count me in!

Funny i actually said to hubs today that i wont be winning any style awards any time soon just after he took my photo. Mind you i was wearing walking/outdoors gear as we were hillwalking at the time! Still i love your thinking here as i have so many things in my wardrobe i'm keeping 'for good' when good never comes and i end up wearing the same old stuff all the time. I do wear skirts and dresses to work but they aren't the sort of clothes i would wear if i didnt work in an office, i have to be honest. Still, i'd like to join you in your bid to make more effort as i always feel i need to!
