Some had seen their better days and some were not right for the Texas climate (vs. Florida). This cardigan was "binned up," although I love the color, as my extra weight "fluffed" it out too much-Ha! Since I've been losing weight recently, </span><i style="font-size: large;">(I'm on </i><span style="font-size: large;">another</span><i style="font-size: large;"> weight loss journey in preparation for my daughter's wedding this fall <3!)</i><span style="font-size: large;">, it got dug out from the bin and put in the closet. I just love it when clothing can be put in service year after year, don't you?

I know the color is dated, but I couldn't resist the price and if I get them to work for awhile, I'll be happy.

I had stalked this cardigan awhile ago on Poshmark and eBay (it's no longer available on the website). While I never pulled the trigger, when it came to Christmas, I got it for myself from Steve.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">This week's curator is Salazar from <a href="https://14shadesofgrey.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">14 Shades of Grey</a>. </span></span><br />

This outfit is a throwback look from two years ago! (Original post: <a href="https://www.fiercefashionblog.com/2018/09/rust-pants-leopard-cardigan-problem.html" target="_blank">Rust Pants and Leopard Cardigan</a>.) I had planned what I wanted to wear for this artwork, but my combined time and energy got away from me. I was all set to take photos yesterday, but ended up sleeping the entire afternoon! </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">The rich orange color of the fruit reminded me of these pants and the swirly blue leaf design around the bottom of the trunk made me want to try this shirt with them:</span></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaDDdKjZ9X3ErUUoQ2IUVyCgeoemNr-pa9xBxdizoLaR0NURd1qPAfDUwj6XvRSpsdcQsZQUKCzzMkRgZ8eMSYkxS7cNEb-jf3qBBen_FaHoHoe4BGob_FzETs4ls0-bk2A3LbXC4HZK8o/s4032/IMG_20200911_111650.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaDDdKjZ9X3ErUUoQ2IUVyCgeoemNr-pa9xBxdizoLaR0NURd1qPAfDUwj6XvRSpsdcQsZQUKCzzMkRgZ8eMSYkxS7cNEb-jf3qBBen_FaHoHoe4BGob_FzETs4ls0-bk2A3LbXC4HZK8o/w480-h640/IMG_20200911_111650.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Purchased in September from Soft Surroundings (<a href="https://www.softsurroundings.com/p/venezia-tencel-blouse/" target="_blank">similar</a>)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">The throwback outfit combines my Eileen Fisher lantern pants, Lucky Brand sleeveless top and (thrifted) leopard cardigan. While the cardigan may not look like it belongs with our inspiration, I still think it fits because the small print emulates the intricate woven pattern of the featured tapestry. <br /></span>

<span style="color: #222222; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;">This week's curator is me. </span></span><span style="font-size: medium;">The current art selection is Garden Under Snow by Paul Gauguin. For more info on this artist, check out <a href="https://www.wikiart.org/en/paul-gauguin/garden-under-snow-1879" target="_blank">WikiArt</a>. I selected it because</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: times, "times new roman", serif; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: times, "times new roman", serif; font-size: large;">I love the variations of soft white colors and although it's "still life," there is a lot of movement with tree trunks, what appears to be wind blowing and, of course, brush strokes.</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: times, "times new roman", serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div></div>

<span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="color: #bf9000; font-size: large;"><b>My Look</b></span></span></span></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">I don't think I've ever selected a piece of artwork knowing what I wanted to wear, but today, I kinda did! I looked at this skirt online all spring and summer. I had no business buying it, but I did anyway! It's hard to see in the photos, but it's kind of like an old-school jeans skirt where a big triangle is added in between the leg seams, so it's got a bit of an a-line. It's called a midi skirt, but it's a maxi on me. </span><br /><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>

The walker is just to my right. I thought I'd be able to hobble into the lens with the auto timer, but it was too much. Gah, just now remembering my phone remote!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Anyway, you can see the direction I wanted to go with the soft denim and cream colors of the outfit. The necklace was the first one I was able to grab and got lucky with the rust colors also being in the art. </div></span></div>

Much of her artwork is on the macabre side, but I like her iconic look. It was worn (above) with the silly pom poms and bows with skulls, minus the big white tag, headband (I was looking for <i>flowers,</i> but Party City was sold out.). Our neighbors invited us over for a glass of wine on Halloween. Since there ended up being so few Trick-or-Treaters, we left our basket of chips on the porch and headed over.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwaM_QJA5DyO77sF99Qib_WksJ4NY6mQIhXNwFHeI2agO96UHr_1rKdVT9LXoJVcKYYQB-JYZIdosunWF973YrRDlIftvDbg-AH6Pz_1i2QnYvw2Dcia8Sg6gAXayWbAxfVdR882nfTPIb/s1000/FP+Flannel+Only.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="805" data-original-width="1000" height="516" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwaM_QJA5DyO77sF99Qib_WksJ4NY6mQIhXNwFHeI2agO96UHr_1rKdVT9LXoJVcKYYQB-JYZIdosunWF973YrRDlIftvDbg-AH6Pz_1i2QnYvw2Dcia8Sg6gAXayWbAxfVdR882nfTPIb/w640-h516/FP+Flannel+Only.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div><span style="font-size: large;">Next up, this "new" Free People flannel shirt which you saw on my <a href="https://www.fiercefashionblog.com/2020/11/styling-free-people-flannel-shirt.html" target="_blank">last post</a>.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">What I wore this week:<br /></span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAulx3wrIjfSKVDmCAFyeBlNEfcZym6-HFaI6Hbem7CMPpqcunBsZqcE1Kk_1K0vIw9DO7nlbTPn8P9kwRrsys8E005xC94PLEU02ZqlDLH6rkoM7uMvQXDHaUBzxu3zJeTqwgidosO_0_/s1000/FP+Chambray.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="801" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAulx3wrIjfSKVDmCAFyeBlNEfcZym6-HFaI6Hbem7CMPpqcunBsZqcE1Kk_1K0vIw9DO7nlbTPn8P9kwRrsys8E005xC94PLEU02ZqlDLH6rkoM7uMvQXDHaUBzxu3zJeTqwgidosO_0_/w512-h640/FP+Chambray.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Another new <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bn9Zf" target="_blank">Free People Set Sail denim top that I found for half-off at Belk</a> this past weekend.

I'm sure I bought it with an eye toward moving as the flannel would likely never get warn in FL.</span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRO0H56H9dNDdR_amcsoEFvEpWqD7q_VQmeNifbT1hycJIQ7Ngr-S1OcCv7B5IVasOkt_ECMNkFSw0i4fqss75PpFH4ZXUdJyGLMF0glPKBhNBJEWcZJhFCT6K90Dq-A_CXuHvKA2bELG1/s1000/FP+Flannel+Only.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="805" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRO0H56H9dNDdR_amcsoEFvEpWqD7q_VQmeNifbT1hycJIQ7Ngr-S1OcCv7B5IVasOkt_ECMNkFSw0i4fqss75PpFH4ZXUdJyGLMF0glPKBhNBJEWcZJhFCT6K90Dq-A_CXuHvKA2bELG1/s16000/FP+Flannel+Only.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: large;">Since there is so much volume to this top, I opted to give it a half tuck to have some control over the fabric. It's hard to tell, but it also has fun full sleeves. I can also easily wear a long sleeved tee or tank under it, if I want extra warmth.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">These old Old Navy boyfriend jeans never disappoint.

I've been working on stripping wallpaper in our guest bath, which I'm very tired of--I don't know how to work my way behind the toilet. Yesterday, we had a new foyer chandelier replace the dated one, that was pretty exciting.

<b><span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">My Look</span></b><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">Once, again, I had to deviate from the artwork color-wise. Since I only have one purple, summery cardigan, I went with "my" purple which is a rich burgundy. Add to that, spying the gold lining of the slippers, my Midas joggers made another showing. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">I didn't realize this Johnny Was top has never officially made it to the blog, although I <a href="https://www.fiercefashionblog.com/2019/05/neiman-marcus-last-call-purchases-and.html">mentioned buying it months before</a> I moved to TX, while visiting, at Neiman Marcus Last Call. The embroidery in it has the same color as the joggers. While it isn't quilting, the embroidery is still embellished stitching. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8KxTWw3RZzFJ7uO4lAz-hLwlzGTCBBEaWXDkJ8TfpjWmJkuQndEsV-v7Kon8Dtp5k-Lm6TzhBuW-tXePmuJ099hKBFKQdesXapT1ri80sVxbZTFcU1G4BcUHkgJx88ai7DSG13fdMiVIV/s1000/Johnny+Was+cabi+Midas.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8KxTWw3RZzFJ7uO4lAz-hLwlzGTCBBEaWXDkJ8TfpjWmJkuQndEsV-v7Kon8Dtp5k-Lm6TzhBuW-tXePmuJ099hKBFKQdesXapT1ri80sVxbZTFcU1G4BcUHkgJx88ai7DSG13fdMiVIV/s16000/Johnny+Was+cabi+Midas.JPG" /></a></div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">When the weather cools off (and especially if it's rainy), I like pulling out my Doc Martens <i>(pretty much the polar opposite of the slippers)</i>. The burgundy color goes so well with lots of my clothing items. When I lived in FL these seemed super edgy, because there is so little commitment to footwear-ha! Here, they are just a day-in-the-life. I even gave you an up-close of my tarnished jewelry. I tell myself it looks antiqued...it either needs to be replaced or painted over, I guess.

Phew. I hadn't renewed my driver's license when I first moved to TX in October. Forward to my birthday and we were in lockdown. It was easier to renew by mail at the FL address. By the time we closed on the house at the end of September, I hadn't tried to get a vote-by-mail ballot. I had to go online and print out a paper verifying my status, sign it, and send it to the Supervisor of Elections in our former county. I was sweating it a little and called their office. It turns out my ballot was in the mail. I turned that baby around ASAP. And, haha, notice my face mask?

Getting a kitchen table right away was really important to me. We were tired of eating at the kitchen counter all the time (facing a 'fridge) and if the girls were over we sat around the coffee table. I changed my mind about every ten minutes about what I wanted to do/get and couldn't decide if a 48" table would be big enough. This Ethan Allen set showed up on FB Marketplace (with an additional leaf and two more chairs) for a very reasonable price, so I bought it. It's not ultimately the style I want, but it's perfect for right now.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Yeah, of course I made new placemats to go on it.

It's been so long since I've done a regular post, I'm out of practice! I wanted to eek a couple in, since my next knee surgery is looming on the horizon.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><u>The Challenge</u></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Last week it was warm and humid here. This week, it couldn't be more different. Monday I did errands in a light-ish jacket and was freezing. Yesterday, I broke out my winter coat. I did slip outside, even though it was cold, to take these photos. The indoor ones I tried weren't very good. On the up side, I got a new remote to take photos with my phone--my old one died. That makes it easier, but then the pictures are slightly grainy. Win some, lose some.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><u>The Details</u></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, grappling with what to wear when the weather turned cold, I decided to pull out my cropped, wide-leg jeans. They are warm enough if you wear socks and booties. Add to that this older Ralph Lauren PJ top, which is warm because it's a brushed cotton and I was good to go. The other great thing about this top is the leopard print is almost an accessory unto itself, as it has so much personality, </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I'm one to grab a hat, too, which I added with my winter jacket and scarf (not shown). </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><u><br /></u></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><u>The Takeaway</u></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-size: large;">You don't have to put away your cropped jeans with the weather gets cold. If you love them, wear socks and booties to cover your ankles.</span></li><li><span style="font-size: large;">Wearing a PJ top would be a "no" for many of you. With this one, I changed out the black plastic buttons for brown wooden ones and put a couple of princess seams in the back so it was a little more fitted. No one has <i>ever</i> guessed this is a pajama top. (It was less than $20 on eBay.)</span></li></ul><div><span style="font-size: large;">Thanks for joining me, today! I hope to do a Friday Favorites and give you some sneak peeks of what's been going on around here.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwBlL6gJnD3SZrGa4BH0peHW39ktgtuK6kAJisxapYPBmw6wPDokA8wf0uxHBygvtWG9_y3GDveNOgGOUnJytANa98nmRCavwFI0nzhhD0ACimbfXNexmyVOhzmQuMpLfhNqVGzcz07wDZ/s1000/Leopard+Top+Cropped+Jeans+Soft.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="999" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwBlL6gJnD3SZrGa4BH0peHW39ktgtuK6kAJisxapYPBmw6wPDokA8wf0uxHBygvtWG9_y3GDveNOgGOUnJytANa98nmRCavwFI0nzhhD0ACimbfXNexmyVOhzmQuMpLfhNqVGzcz07wDZ/s16000/Leopard+Top+Cropped+Jeans+Soft.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">SP Black jeans (<a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bnPBX" target="_blank">similar</a>) | Ralph Lauren pajama top (<a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bnPAT" target="_blank">similar</a>) | Naturalizer booties (<a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bnPCb" target="_blank">similar</a>) | <a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Joan-Rivers-Gold-Tone-Chain-Mesh-Braided-Necklace-Stunning/133514347479?hash=item1f161343d7:g:uiQAAOSw9UhfV7dZ" target="_blank">Joan Rivers necklace</a> (<a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bnPCg" target="_blank">similar</a>) | Target hat (<a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bnPA4" target="_blank">similar</a>) | Lucky Brand earrings (<a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bnPA9" target="_blank">similar</a>) | Wooden bracelet (<a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bnPCo" target="_blank">similar</a>)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikBABUWMR2Ud6V42gmxwp5keRm_oqmjmgP_sdo1CJqcQEtXSzHCZhUY04OASdsA9WFJgBLR4dw04FJhUBVOzakegBSvzOSirNUNST4Gxw355M8_opqlF8fueyVgsAbtmlDXvkoV3ParSgV/s1000/Leopard+Top+Cropped+Jeans2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="999" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikBABUWMR2Ud6V42gmxwp5keRm_oqmjmgP_sdo1CJqcQEtXSzHCZhUY04OASdsA9WFJgBLR4dw04FJhUBVOzakegBSvzOSirNUNST4Gxw355M8_opqlF8fueyVgsAbtmlDXvkoV3ParSgV/s16000/Leopard+Top+Cropped+Jeans2.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><b><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Shop This Wearing Cropped Jeans When It's Cold Similar Items Post</span></b><div data-sc-widget-id="P-5f989cefc09dd059a8b0fe57"></div><script async="" src="//widgets.shopstyle.com/shopstyle-widget-snippet.js"></script></div></b><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div><b><br /></b><span style="font-size: large; text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: #800180;">Don't forget:</span> </b> </span><span style="font-size: large; text-align: left;">We would love to have you join the next Style Imitating Art!

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">This week's curator is Salazar from <a href="https://14shadesofgrey.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">14 Shades of Grey</a>. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="color: #bf9000; font-size: large;"><b>My Look</b></span><br /></span><div><span style="font-size: large;">I had a devil of a time coming up with an outfit for this week's Style Imitating Art. In a s-t-r-e-t-c-h of inspiration, it seemed like the dark brown design in this skirt resembled a twisted rope. As a matter of fact, when I put the skirt together, I used that design element to keep the fabric all going in the same direction as I was sewing it as the flowers seem to be going every which way. Since our tree inspiration is bare, I used that as a jumping off point for cooler/cold weather and decided to style this lightweight skirt with fall in mind, adding a long cardigan and booties.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">While it wasn't planned, I love how you can see all of the tree branches in the background to emulate our artwork.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">We just moved into our new house on Thursday! These photos are taken from our side yard/driveway into our backyard (we have a corner lot). The wardrobe boxes were unpacked Saturday, in time for a photo shoot on Sunday. As you can imagine, we're wandering around trying to remember where we've unpacked things in the kitchen and adjusting to a different layout of space--you know how things fit perfectly into a former house, but are out of place in a new one. We are so much enjoying have the space of our own home again!<br /></span>
