Man, it's tough looking back on the gorgeous weather we had in late May. (I conveniently have a record of my outfits and the weather forecast for each work day that I originally used for planning purposes and that I now just torture myself with.) But let's muscle through this.
A Strange Sartorial Start to the Week--Monday, 5/22/17
I'm the first to say that this is an odd color combination, but I just wore two subtle colors from the top in darkened form--pink became maroon, aqua became dark teal. Not my most successful combination, but it was, as they say, different. And I think the silhouette of drapey cardigan and skinny ankle pants worked just fine.
Outfit cost per wear (OCPW): $6.80
Paging Dr Jewel Tones--Tuesday, 5/23/17
This white jacket doesn't exactly look like a lab coat, right? I mean, it could be a waiter jacket. But I like the tuxedo jacket idea best, especially when worn with my trusty "black pants + black shoes for the rain" combo.
*White tuxedo jacket (JCP), $13.99
OCPW: $23.03
Spotted in Red--Wednesday, 5/24/17
Wearing these tan flats with the black captoes just made me incredibly happy with this outfit. It's like a little callback to the black top half after that long expanse of really red pants. You'll take what you can get to carry you through your work day, right?
OCPW: $10.41
Sometimes You Hit It Out of the Park--Thursday, 5/25/17
Colorful, perfectly fitting pants? Check. Chambray blazer? Check. Pattern mixing floral and leopard? Check. Long scarf? Check.
I was thrilled with how this combination turned out. One of those rare outfits that is even better in reality than it was in your imagination. Hence I am giving you a gigantic photo so you can view it in its fully Sally-esque glory.
OCPW: $11.73/wear
...And Sometimes You'd Rather Just Be at the Park--Friday, 5/26/17
This is a pretty casual Friday outfit, even by my standards, and it's not very interesting (though the metal-studded collar of the t-shirt, which isn't visible in the photo, makes it a little less boring). But I was happy to find that this cream t-shirt is the exact same shade as the cream stripes in the t-shirt cardigan. So there's that. Plus Friday.
*Cream short-sleeved T (thrifted, Liz & Me), $6.74
OCPW: $12.02
OK, people, we're starting to get a little caught up!

I like the red pants. They are a nice color. Love the striped cardigan!
The red pants are a lot of fun. As you can see, I'm trying to wear these ankle pants as much as I can while it's still no-socks season.
I always had trouble figuring out how to wear that cardigan, but with the cream top, I'm in business.
