I’m in my closet trying to make a decision. It’s getting colder here, but temperamentally my heart is still with all the bright summer colors and short sleeves or sleeveless tops. Will post tomorrow when I actually get dressed for the day.

I'm working today so it's uniform only. BUT a few weeks ago I got fed up with my normal hoop earrings getting caught in the mask elastic, and I ordered a couple of pairs of those stud earrings that you get when you have your ears pierced. You know the ones where the butterfly sort of clips on the back? So today I will be wearing my new gold studs with turquoise diamanté centre. They won't show under my hair, but I'll know they're there.  |

I'm at work today, but it's for training (ie. we aren't open to the public) ... instead of wearing jeans or yoga pants, I am wearing a Roots sweatshirt dress and Vans slip ons covered with photos of puppies ... but I actually have make up on for the first time in ages ... semi-dressed-up! Have a great day |

I am not leaving the house today, but decided to play along anyway. I admit, I feel good, so thanks!
I am wearing wide leg navy crops, a navy/white gingham sleeveless top, and a white 3/4 sleeve cardigan. I am taking advantage of the lovely weather here in Minnesota.

mikklynn, that outfit sounds super cute! I feel like I have to put this disclaimer each time I play - we all wear jeans and hoodies to work here. So what I’m posting isn’t necessarily what comes to mind when “dressing up” but it definitely is for where I work. I decided to wear a cardigan with a ruffle and I even got out an old necklace from Tiffany&Co. I can’t remember the last time I wore it, or a necklace at all!

I'm wearing a tunic t-shirt and jeans! Super fancy for me. I normally wear pajama bottoms and a t-shirt. I had to take my daughter to work today.  I will be changing back to the old clothes soon. I'm basically a toddler and spill on everything.  |

Great to see you play with us today. |

kellyr21, I LOVE those feather earrings! I put on and take off a mask dozens of times a day when I leave my office or when someone comes in to talk, so I really wish I could wear earrings. Those are perfect. And I love that you wore a dress even though you were at home for the day. You are too cute!

I wore my dangly earrings all day and was just careful with my mask elastics. And I wore a colorful scarf because it was cold. I felt secretly dressed up. Close enough!!

And I love that you wore a dress even though you were at home for the day. You are too cute! Thanks! I wore this outfit when we first started Dress Up Mondays. I love it so much I decided to wear it again. I love statement earrings and you are right, these are a perfect match with my dress. Thanks! I got up not feeling great, so I dressed for comfort today. I love that pink dress! Really beautiful. Thanks Anita! I hope this dress up day brought some joy to you today. Hope you feel better soon!

Yes, you were in the fun with us! I know these mask are a headache for our longer earrings but you did it anyway. Congrats to you and I know it felt fun to have that little secret for yourself. LOL! |

I didn’t go out yesterday, but in a nod to Dress Up With Me Monday, I wore real clothes.
Per usual, my focus is secondhand purchases.
-Chico’s boyfriend jeans bought on Poshmark.
-An embroidered, mauve Free People tunic bought at Goodwill.
-A vintage copper bracelet from a garage sale.
My usual barefoot-when-home look complemented my hippie ensemble. LOL. Had I gone out, I would have used a 1970s tooled leather purse bought on eBay.

(Retroactively, my jeans above are a pair of Joe’s jeans bought at Plato’s closet and my cardigan, while not secondhand, has been in my closet for over a decade.) |

Enrollment open to all who want to embrace the world of “pre-loved” and well-loved fashion. Everything old is new again. |

So glad you joined us and had fun. I used to do some thrift store shopping and found some really nice items. I even got my wedding veil from a cute thrift shop. It was a perfect match to my dress! Way to represent for the boho crowd. |
