January Style Sudoku: Outfits 11–14
My January style sudoku wrapped up this past Saturday! Below are the final four outfits, and you can catch all of my stories in my “Style Sudoku” highlight on Instagram. I’ll be sharing a full recap post on Wednesday! :)
OUTFIT 11 • Wednesday, January 23rd
I was worried that we would wake up to snow and then get rain later in the day, but luckily, there was no snow—and it showered a couple of times during the day when I was at work, so I didn’t end up wishing I wore my Hunter boots. Phew! I realized that this is my favorite way to wear this dress: as a duster instead of a dress. It worked well over this striped tee and blended well with the dark denim, but I wonder if I would prefer it with a navy striped tee and white denim? I may have to try that this spring!
Weather: High of 43°F (6°C), a few showers during the day
OUTFIT DETAILS
Grana dress (worn as duster) / similar denim dress by H&M
LOFT tee / similar by LOFT
Madewell jeans / similar
Marc Fisher boots / exact from Nordstrom Rack
Dior Addict Lip Glow in pink / exact
OUTFIT 12 • Thursday, January 24th
Another day at work! This outfit is basically my winter uniform: cozy sweater, skinny jeans/pants, and boots (though I tend to wear ankle boots more often). It’s easy, comfortable, and feels like me. I love this ivory, olive, and black color combination; it’s simple but feels luxe.
Weather: High of 47°F (8°C), no precipitation
OUTFIT DETAILS
J.Crew beanie / exact style
Amour Vert sweater / similar from Bloomingdale’s

OUTFIT 13 • Friday, January 25th
I saved this mostly-black outfit specifically for today because we headed to a gymnastics meet, and it was supposed to be a “blackout”! (The team wore their black leotards. I had never seen them in person, but WOW! They are so sparkly!) I first wore this look to work, and the thick cardigan/cashmere sweater combination kept me very warm at my desk. I ended up not wearing a coat to the meet because of it; I appreciate not lugging extra layers with me when I go out. Fun random fact: This outfit was Korri’s favorite when we were shooting them all. I do love the grey/black/red color combination! (And the blacks don’t clash, which is always appreciated.)

OUTFIT 14 • Saturday, January 26th
I saved one of my least favorite outfits for last. I wasn’t super in love with all of the layers; the jeans felt bulky under the dress, which tended to get caught on the jeans, and while I liked the idea of the sweater layered over the dress, I wasn’t a huge fan of either letting it hang naturally or tying it at the waist like I did here. The sweater wasn’t quite cropped enough to look right by itself over the dress. Oh well! I appreciate doing style challenges like this because it forces me to try new things and I figure out what I really like to wear.
