Today's orphan outfit is kind of cheating, But oh well. It's day 15, just so that I can keep count.
I'm re-styling the knit button-down from yesterday - I put a wintersilk under it, and thought it actually looked pretty good as the outer layer. But the turtleneck of the wintersilk really looked bad (#5-6). So I added a scarf (#3-4), but then that didn't actually include any orphans, and I have this grandpa cardigan languishing that might go perfectly over it. So I tried it (#1-2).
In reality, it's a bit warm for today with the cardigan, so I'll probably spend most of the day without. Which means maybe it's an orphanless orphan day. *sigh*. if I get a chance, I'll change into some an orphan later today.
(Worn with my weekend jeans that you all helped me keep last week, and my trusty brown boots. I like these jeans so much they might get worn during "Mom" days too.)
I'm inclined to keep the knit buttondown, and only wear it as the outer layer - I like the visual simplicity. (After seeing these pics, I untucked the wintersilk, now it grins evenly).
I'm not sure about the grandpa cardigan. It's a yummy carmel color, and I think the color is probably the one shade of beige that works ok on me (sorry for the backlit photos, you probably can't tell anything about the colors). But I wish the cardigan was longer. Should it go?
