Happy Friday!

April Fools. It’s only Wednesday. But I did wear this last week for casual Friday.

That is about as far as I go with April Fools jokes. I really hate it when I fall for pranks, so I don’t like to play them on other people. It’s not really a matter of being nice (am I saying that word right? is it nyce? or more like niece?). I just figure if you play pranks on people, you’re more likely to piss them off and make them want to get back at you. So I’m going to just keep being sarcastic because I’m perfectly capable of taking sarcasm. Feel free to leave me some in the comments.

Since it’s April 1, you know what that means (other than a day to NOT play tricks on Sarah)…it’s the start of this month’s Top 10 Remix style challenge! This outfit is the last of my pre-challenge looks from March, so tomorrow you’ll start seeing my Top 10 creations. What is this challenge, you ask? Short version: pick your 10 favorite things that define your personal style, and work 1 of those items into everything you wear this month. If you’re on social media, share photos with the hashtag #Top10Remix, and if you’re a blogger, blog about your experience with the challenge and join the weekly linkup. I’ve already heard from several you, and I’m soooooo excited to see what you all pick! (And I swear, that’s not sarcasm.)

An Alternate Equation

Remember my outfit equation for super cold days? I came up with an alternate formula. I had to. We’ve had so many days in the teens (or negative teens) and I can only wear my one pair of fleece tights so many times without washing them. And it’s not like doing laundry on a regular basis is an option. Do I look like a damn queen to you?

The alternate equation is ponte pants + tunic + blazer + boots. If necessary, I add a thin tee and tights as a base layer for extra warmth. I like that my skinny ponte pants fit into tall boots, but for work I like to wear a longer top because I’m worried people will think I’m just wearing straight up leggings to the office. The ponte pant/legging line is a delicate one that I haven’t quite figured out. The everyday challenges we non-royals face, I tell ya. Rough.
