Not going to lie, I got my idea for this post from Buzzfeed. A while ago, I saw a post about someone’s mom picking their outfit for the week, and I thought, “Huh, that sounds fun.” I made a note in my list on Evernote of lifestyle blog post ideas, and then didn’t think about it. When my sister moved back home, I thought that it might be fun for her to pick out my outfits because she has a more out-there style. Basically, she’s that person who looks great in every style (or at least 99% of them).
Here were the rules: Back in February, Emily picked out my outfits for every day, but I chose accessories, makeup, and shoes. You can’t see my shoes in these pictures because back then I was still in my walking cast and there were only 3 pairs of shoes (sneakers, riding books, and Bean boots) that I could wear that put me on equal height with the cast. I hope you guys enjoy this post, and comment if you want me to do this with my mom choosing the outfits!

Day 1
Similar Pants | Shirt | Similar Overshirt
This is the outfit least like something I would wear myself. I hadn’t worn this chambray shirt in a while, and definitely not in a way like this. Overall, I liked it! Not sure when I’ll try something like this next, though, but that’s mostly because of the weather.
Day 2
Similar Pants | Similar Sweater | Necklace
What was different for me in this outfit is the color combination. Dark green corduroys don’t go with a lot of colors, but I like this combination. It was perfect for cold wintery day!
Day 3
Pants | Shirt | Sweater | Similar Necklace
As you can see, I’m into big sweaters. This was probably the most comfortable outfit from this week, but as you can see, it looks a bit bulkier than it really is. I’d definitely wear this again, just probably around the house.
Day 4
Similar Pants | Similar Sweater | Similar Headband
What I really liked about this outfit was the color combination. It’s kind of hard to see, but I added a floral headband to this because after multiple wintery days I really wanted (and still do!) spring.
Day 5
I loved this because I love this shirt! It’s from my uncle’s brewery and it’s so fun. It was a great way to end the week.
Would you ever do something like this – have a family member dress you?
