OUTFIT CHALLENGE POST - CASUAL FRIDAY

This is part of a challenge posted by Carly at Chic Steals For more information click here.

The sweater is one that I have had since my son was young and got it because he has always been crazy about cars and I did literally forgot that I still had it until I stared pulling from the back of the closet for this challenge.  It is a Lisa Nichols that I purchased at resale garment shop for around $5.

The jeans are Old Navy "The Diva" boot cut jeans which are still sold here.   I don't wear them often as they sit about an inch lower than the natural waistline and are bit big.

The shoes are Kenneth Cole Reaction from a few years back.  They are bit plan, but very comfortable and have lasted up very well.

The necklace is my DIY Silly Bands necklace with the tutorial here.

The shirt underneath the sweater is at St. John's Bay T-Shirt from K-Mart. 

CHIC STEALS 30 DAYS OF OUTFITS CHALLENGE

Carly at Chic Steals and has challenged herself during the month of November to wear a previously forgotten outfit and also include 1 project she made herself in the post and has invited other to join her for whatever period of time that they would like .  For more information click here.

I know I won't be able to with any degree of consistency, but I will try to see what I can come up with during the rest of the month.  This outfit was one I wore running errands and grocery shopping today.

The sweater is an overly large one from Fashion Bug from a few years back.  It is very long and baggy and could almost be a dress.  I do wear this all the time during the winters, but usually just around the house. 

The pants are a maroon stretch velvet that I bought on Ebay about several years ago as part of an outfit with cutouts at the neck and hemline. 


The shoes are Basic Editions from K-Mart.  They are not the most fashionable, but they are comfortable if you are going to be on your feet all day.  I wear 10W and it is hard to find shoes that fit.

The scarf was from a thrift store find and it didn't have any tags. 

The headband was a DIY that I made here with items from a dollar store headband and fabric leaves using a hot glue gun.



Although I wore this nail polish last month, I don't have a lot of orange and not likely to wear it often in my wardrobe I wore that today also.   It is Sinful Colors in Courtney Orange and they sell it at Walgreen for $1.99, but sometimes they will have it on sale for .99 cents.

I also wore a lip gloss I had not previously worn from the "Girls Just Want It" from Bedhead and it is the 5th shade over from the left called "Gossip".   While the set does have a nifty little mirror inside so you can apply the lip color, it did not come with a lip brush and I am usually too rushed in the morning to try to dig another one I have out and I don't want to use my finger and have it end up on my clothing.
