The Experiment

I was talking to someone I work with about the black tights and black t-shirt "uniform". If you have that, you can make a ton of outfits out of it. So here is my little Black Uniform Experiment!

Black T-shirt Target
Black Tights Target
Tunic (Goodwill)
Black Ballet Flats (Goodwill New with Tags-Target)

The Denver Weather is Bi-Polar, you can go from 60 to 30 in an hour....no joke..
Throw on Denim Jacket -Old Navy via Goodwill
Put on some warm socks and boots -Franco Sarto Zappos

Change it up with a flannel dress from Target via Goodwill (half off day!)
Same Franco Sarto Boots


Now throw on a skirt 12 by Twelve via Goodwill
Put on some high heel boots (I don't where I got them, but I love them!)
The necklace is from Forever 21 online....it was $12.00!

I threw on the vintage fur jacket I bought on our Thrift Tour in Salt Lake City. (Decades)

Experiment #2 Wide Leg Jeans ---Not sold on it.

JCrew Button Down via G-Dub
Target Old Man Cardigan
The Gap Wide Leg Jeans via G-Dub

  3. I love the "experiment." Extremely successful in my opinion. The gold skirt is awesome! Wondering if you pushed your fashion comfort level on that one. In the next few months I want to focus more on finding pieces at the GW that are unique. The jeans look great on you. I think if you added a stiletto type shoe and worked the pants into an evening casual-glam look, you'd probably enjoy the volume more. Very classy and sexy cut.

    Great Post!!!
