16 Day Skirt Challenge: Days 1 and 2

A co-worker asked if I wanted to meet up with her at the mall and go shopping this past weekend.  Not one to be rude, I said yes.  Oh, I also needed some essentials for fall so I thought it would be a great opportunity to snatch them up.  Luckily, we were met with promotion after promotion.  (Now if I didn't go, I might have lost out on some great deals and would've had to pay full price at a later date.)  I was careful to mainly buy essentials (layering pieces i.e, turtleneck, long-sleeve blouse, long-sleeve shirt).  Of course, I couldn't resist the 35% discount at the GAP and paid $45 for a pair of cords (on my "need" list).  I did not, however, buy a skirt.  Even though I wanted one.  I said earlier that I had about 15 skirts for fall and I was challenging myself to wear each and every one of them.  Last fall, I think I rotated about 3 or 4, along with a couple of pairs of pants. Maybe a dress or two.  Not very exciting.  This fall, I am excited to mix things up!

Challenge: 16 skirts x 4 days/wk (Fridays are casual day) = new outfit every day for a month!  

Skirt #1

I didn't wear this top all summer.  Thankfully it got warmer out so I had one last chance to wear it.  Of course, I could wear a sweater over it for fall, which I plan on doing.

Top: French Connection; Skirt: Club Monaco;

Skirt #2

I think the last time I wore this skirt was 4 years ago (could be longer).  Not sure why - it's pink!
