Thoughts & Takeaways - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

My 100 Day Photos

I really enjoyed this challenge even though I was basically team basic all the way through. It's been an interesting 100 days. Here are a ten thoughts and ten takeaways both from wearing my Wool& Everett tunic for 100 days and from buying and wearing a lot of other wool items.

Day 100 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

It's official! 100 Days of wearing my Wool& Everett tunic and I still love it (although I do agree the L fits me better than this XL. Today I'm wearing all wool with the exception of the mock turtleneck (32 degrees). Branwyn busty bra, Icebreaker undies, Allbirds leggings, Allbirds Wool Runners, and my Everett from Wool&.

Today's necklace is from Ecuador where we watched women and men both hand make these gorgeous beaded items. This is one of my favorite necklaces and I need to remember to take it cruising when it's cool enough for the mock turtle (I need to find a black wool mock turtleneck).

Later today I will post my thoughts on the challenge and what I took away from doing it.

Day 99 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

Almost there and today is turning out to be a nice one with a high of 70 and mostly sunny. I opted for some bright Viv Collection leggings from Amazon, my Forcool merino ankle socks, and my new Wool Runners from Allbirds in teal (Emerald Green) to go along with my Everett.

The necklace is once again from Amazon and one I dearly love.

Day 98 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

I haven't lost weight but it's really apparent I need the L in an Everett and not the XL. Sunday evening this will go in the wash and then get sold on Monday. I look forward to having both the burgundy and black in the L size.

Today is team basic (again) - warm day (last for a while) so pulled on my favorite black Little Donkey Andy pants and topped the outfit with a necklace I got while living in Ecuador. It's surprisingly lightweight.

Day 97 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

Having a little fun today with my black & white teddy bear skeleton leggings and my skeleton cameo necklace along with my Forcool merino ankle socks and Allbirds Wool Runners shoes. Still pretty much team basic though!

Day 96 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

Yesterday was so beautiful - today, not so much. Supposed to hit mid 50s but with the rain all day, it won't feel it. Team basic today with some generic leggings along with a tank under my Everett.

Today's necklace came from Oatman, Arizona - home of the burros. A gentleman was fashioning these on the spot and I couldn't resist supporting him. It's so lightweight and so pretty.

Day 95 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

Early morning - thus the pained look on my face. Our new roof is going on and they arrived way before I was ready to get up. Today is a black Segments base layer from Costco, Viv leggings from Amazon, Forcool merino ankle socks from Amazon, my favorite Allbirds Wool Runners in burgundy, and (of course) my burgundy Everett. 

Today's necklace is also from our time in Ecuador.

Day 94 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

Didn't get to sleep until after 3:30 so slept in till 9:30 only to wake up to a colder than usual house. The power went off sometime during the night. The generator is running but as cold as it is, the HVAC unit is struggling to get it warmer.

So I layered up with a Segments dark teal base layer from Costco, my Woolx Stella petite leggings (dark gray), Forcool merino socks from Amazon, and my favorite pair of Allbirds Wool Runners. My necklace today was purchased when we were traveling out west during our RV days. I love the bear fetish.

Day 93 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

I've discovered I can't do a great photo showing my necklace without not including my full body. Oh well, it's a cold day and I'm bundled up with my 32Degrees mock turtleneck & fleece leggings under my Everett. This necklace is actually reversible with two different designs. It came from Cuenca, Ecuador when we lived there.

Day 92 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

Threw on some bright leggings to go with my bright necklace. Still team basic here and I will continue to be so for the next week.

Day 91 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

A bit of green wearing for St Paddy's Day - green necklace from Ecuador, a touch of green in my unicorn leggings, and green froggy slipper socks with my Everett.

Day 90 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

Wow! Day 90 and yes, I'm still loving my Everett and enjoy wearing it. Hubby even commented on how comfortable I seem in it. I have to admit I am looking forward to wearing the black one in large that I got in the BST (Buy, Sell, Trade) group on Facebook. Just for a change.

Today is much warmer than the last couple of days and the warmest for the next week, so no underlayer. Just my fun "But first coffee.." leggings.

Tomorrow I plan to add a daily necklace, most of them from my time living in Ecuador. 

Day 89 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

Another cold day but it's sunny, so that's better. Today I have on my vintage blue Allbirds leggings, grey Forcool wool ankle socks from Amazon, black Duluth Trading elbow length mock turtleneck, high top dark blue Allbirds Wool Runner Mizzles, and my burgundy Everett.

I never wear necklaces unless I'm unless going somewhere special but decided to add on I got while living in Ecuador. I think it works quite well.

Day 88 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

Lazy day with snow flurries and uber-cold outside. Wearing my Cuddl Duds leggings with my Everett. Not much going on, time to veg on some TV shows.

Day 87 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

Team basic layers up for another cold, gray day. I'm wearing a Daily Ritual shirt from Amazon over my Everett along with my Allbirds leggings and Allbirds Wool Runners (both sort of burgundy color). Oh, and my merino ankle socks from Forcool on Amazon. Comfy and warm!

Day 86 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

It's a cold gray drizzly day so I dressed to stay warm and dry. 32Degrees fleece leggings and quilted vest, Everett tunic over a Woolx long-sleeve tee, along with my Allbirds Emerald Green (I still call it teal) Wool Runner high-top Mizzles (so comfy). Still #teambasic!

 

Day 85 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

As much as I love just tossing on my Everett every day, it always feels better when it's freshly washed. I know by tomorrow it will have relaxed more and I'm okay with that. Cuddle Duds leggings and a 32Degrees mock turtle will help keep me warm today. Brrrr.....

Day 84 - Wool& 100 Day Challenge

 

Cooper is missing his buddy, Murphy, who has headed to the vet for some minor surgery today so I invited him in for the photo. Segments teal long-sleeve tee under my Everett today, along with 32Degrees fleece leggings (it's cold and damp) and Forcool wool ankle socks.

Day 83 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

Chilly day today but no plans to go anywhere so Team Basic it is! Minus33 midweight baselayer leggings (too big but warm), Everett layered over my Woolx Remi long-sleeve tee. My shoes are Allbirds Wool Runner Mizzles in a very dark blue (almost black). They're water repellent and it's supposed to rain today.

And yes, that's Cooper, our oldest Goldendoodle photo-bombing me!

Day 82 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

Yes, I know I chopped off my head but I wanted to show my leggings as well as my first pair of Allbirds Wool Runners that I found on ebay (now I'm addicted). They have a cute little bee embroidered on the side and were brand new. I suspect they were purchased for some special event or celebration. Or maybe just custom done after purchase but never worn. I don't know, but I think they're cute.

Day 81 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

Look! No leggings! I've got on my Lee pants - we're going to town! Today is an errand day in a neighboring town about 40 minutes away, plus a movie, plus some shopping, plus either lunch or dinner at our favorite restaurant (all depends on the timing). Again, wearing my Katherine Barclay sweater from Costco underneath and my gray Allbirds Wool Runners.
