Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Katie’s Closet~What I Wore this Week

January 2, 2015 by Katie Haller

While most of you were enjoying your long holiday breaks from work these past 2 weeks, I’ve been working.  (If you can’t tell, I’m just a little bitter about this.  But don’t feel too bad for me. I did get a few days off.)  The one good thing about working over Christmas break is that I get a chance to play around with my wardrobe a little more than usual. 

I’ve been doing a little bit of shopping here and there, so I had the chance to wear some of my new clothes this week. I also played around with my old clothes, creating some new looks for the workweek. 

Monday
On Monday I got creative and tried out a layering look.  I layered a denim button-down, under a striped long sleeve shirt, with a blazer on top.  Being in the classrooms so much at work, this is not a look I would attempt on a normal day, but for the office this week, it worked out great.

Necklace (New)- Meijer ($7, I’m really loving this new accessory!)
Tuesday
I really love this polka-dot blouse.  I can already tell that I’m going to get a lot of use out of it.

Wednesday
This black skirt is a hand-me-down from my mom.  I loved that I had the chance to wear it this week.  It’s such a classic skirt. It’s the perfect staple to have in my closet.

 It was nice having a day off in the middle of the week.  I get excited any time I can wear jeans!
