Tenth Blogoversary

It’s my tenth blogoversary and I’m not quitting this outfit diary. Are you curious about what’s new in Year Eleven of WhatIWore2Day?


Shirt, Moda International. Skirt, Talbot’s. Shoes, Enzo Angiolini.

First of all, I’ve given up on replacing the green cardigan that I wore with this blouse and skirt in my very first outfit post (and the first four blogoversaries). After the sweater was ruined by dye transfer from a dark purple shirt, I attempted to replace it with three different green jackets and a denim vest for my later blogoversaries. This year, I just wore a nude camisole underneath and went topper-less. This is California, after all. We still see 80 degrees and higher in October.


Second, I’m embracing my natural hair color. It used to be dishwater blonde, but now it’s coming in silvery and I like it.


Last, I am trying Snapchat as a platform to show you behind the scenes, outfit details, and outfits in motion. My user name is whatiwore2day. (I’ll be honest, I’m still trying to figure it out, but Beefy is younger than I, so hopefully he’ll help.)


Here’s to another great year!

Old Band

Do you remember when the band jacket look was trendy for a hot minute in 2010? I still have my military/band inspired sweater from that spring. I should wear it more often, even if it is now out of style.


Sweater, Outback Red (via The Limited). Shirt, Mossimo (thrifted). Skirt, Ann Taylor (thrifted). Boots, Vince Camuto (consignment). Sunglasses, Giselle. Earrings, thrifted. Bag, Clark’s.


It’s been a versatile piece in my wardrobe for the past five years:

A Purse for Every Skirt

While waiting for my soy Ginger Elizabeth Mocha, a young man, very sincerely, asked me if I had a purse to match every skirt. I, just as sincerely, considered my handbag collection and my skirt collection and conceded that there were a few matches, including today’s pairing.


Blazer, James Jeans. Tank, Old Navy. Skirt, Talbots. Tights, We Love Colors. Boots, Lauren Ralph Lauren. Bag, Imoshion.


Here is (most of) my purse collection:


I suppose I’ve been a bit matchy with my bags a time or two:
