Well, this is a silly post that is of interest to my lady readers perhaps - not sure if there are any male readers anyways!
Two women that I really respect, who I met at the church I went to during college (Grace), have wonderful businesses and write fun blogs that I enjoy checking out from time to time. . .ok, basically daily. Anyways, Lindsay at The Pleated Poppy started this thing called "What I Wore Wednesdays" where she, and now many others, post one or several outfits they wore that week as motivation to get dressed instead of just wear sweatpants and sweatshirts everyday. It's meant to be fun - and it has been fun for me to see the outfits they put together, giving me inspiration at times for what to wear when I head to campus to meet with the ever-trendy college students I work with. Lisa is the other woman, of the two I mentioned, who does this weekly as well and I just love her, her family, her business, her hair, her style, etc. Check out her "What I Wore Wednesday" if you'd like!
And now, it's my turn - I'm not going to do this weekly, and probably never again - so enjoy, if you're so inclined :)
brown corduroy skinny jeans - Gap Outlet
white 3/4 sleeve shirt - Gap Outlet
boots - on sale from Piperlime
red jacket - bought on Monday, with birthday money, from a little boutique about 200 ft from my apartment (liking the color red is a new thing for me, maybe it's because I'm getting older?!)
scarf - bought on a trip to East Asia
cardigan - Macy's clearance rack (no joke: orginally $250, but I got it for $15!!), wore it under the red jacket because it's cold in Berkeley today!
ring - from Mexico
pearl earrings - a birthday gift from my parents, which I treasure so much (both the parents and the pearls :)), like the color red, I also NEVER wear earrings but I guess I'm turning over a new leaf.
See, told you - this is/was silly. Hope you're having a wonderful Wednesday, whether you care to show off what you're wearing or not! Now I'm off to clean a bit and grate some cheese for the fondue I'm making for ministry co-workers/friends tonight!

I share your feelings on the first, and last WIWW...the first time I tried to link up with The Pleated Poppy it went horribly wrong...And my pictures were so goofy. This wednesday I did What I Would Wear...and posted pictures of things I would like to wear but didn't...lol
What I love about your version of WIWW is that it is not pretentious. None of the clothes were bank-busters or from super trendy/expensive stores, and many of the items have stories behind them. Of course, the outfits are great, but I think the other stuff is just as if not more important. Lovely!

aw, thanks Lizzy! I failed to mention that everything that I wore for this outfit I bought on sale which is fun. . .definitely don't need pricy things (like $250 for a thin cardigan!!), I totally agree!
ah! love http://www.whatiwore.tumblr.com ... she also does something very similar.
love it Arijaan!!! I wish you would do it every wed. :)
Hey Arijaan just wanted to drop a line saying that indeed there are male readers...eventhou they are tending to skip the posts about your wardrobe ;-)
