Day 76 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

A chilly, drizzly day so I'm dressing for warmth and comfort with my Costco Segments long-sleeve  burgundy shirt under my burgundy Everett. My leggings are Minus33 mid-weight 100% merino and by the wrinkles around my knees, you can tell they are LONG on me (very few wool leggings are sold in petite sizes). But they are comfy, soft, and warm. My silly slipper socks are on top of my Forcool short wool socks.

Day 75 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

Playing with another scarf, I like the look and feel with my Everett. This was an old one, and feels more like soft Rayon than synthetic silky but no idea. My leggings from Amazon (4 years old now) color coordinate (see below photo) as do my favorite pair of Allbirds Wool Runners. My grey socks are wool from Amazon as well.

It's hard to believe I only have 25 days left in the challenge. As my challenge ends and March gets warmer, I will move to my thinner long-sleeve and maybe even some short-sleeve merino tops that I have accumulated thanks to this challenge.

Day 74 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

I know it's not Halloween, but I love these leggings and they go with my Everett so well!

Then I added my new Allbirds Mizzle Wool Runners in my favorite color - teal! (Okay, they call it Deep Emerald, but it's teal to me.)

Day 72 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

It's a day for colors - my burgundy Everett over my plum-colored 32Degrees sweatpants, topped with my Daily Ritual short-sleeve shirt from Amazon.

Here's better representation of the colors.

Day 70 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

I was playing with accessories today (should have adjusted the kimono more...LOL). This is my newest silky kimono from Amazon (I use on cruises) using the new cardigan clip I just got from Etsy (it's perfect, lightweight, small, and has several colors embedded). Oh, tossed on over a 32Degrees long-sleeve tee (it's cold today) and 32Degrees joggers. I know, still barefoot....

Day 67 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

I can never seem to get my eyes focused in the right place. LOL! Today is something new. I ordered a dressy tunic blouse from Amazon and it turned out to be big enough to fit over the Everett tunic. Plus the color match was amazing. I'm also wearing my leggings from Allbirds and my Wool Runners from Allbirds (both in black).

Day 66 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

You asked for it, you got it! Another Team Basic day. Dickies socks (not wool, 32Degrees Twill Joggers, and my Wool& Everett. Everyone keeps telling me they love how this looks on me. Makes me undecided if I should downsize when I order the black one. Hmmmmm....

Day 64 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

Can you tell I've had almost no sleep? Brain just wouldn't shut off last night. Managed a little over four hours finally. I see a nap in my future. Today I have an old Land's End turtleneck under my Wool& Everett tunic and a pair of Allbirds leggings (I have three pair and love them) and my Allbirds dark blue (almost black) Wool Runners. Oh, and SmartWool socks. Tried to go all matchy-matchy. LOL!

Day 63 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

I woke to gray skies and snow flurries so wanted a little color in my day. These are my brightest leggings with my new Allbirds Wool Runner Mizzles. They arrived yesterday and I admit, are a little brighter than I expected. I sold my other "teal" Wool Runners as they were just a bit too tight on me. Turns out, they were actually Emerald Green. Who knew? I might try to find another pair and hope they are more like the fit of all my others. I really loved that color.

Oh, my topper to my Everett today is an XL shirt I got from Amazon when I needed something big and loose to wear over my sling after my shoulder surgery. It eventually became a sleep shirt. Works great for another layer on this dreary, cold day.

Day 60 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

Wow, day 60 already! Seems like a couple weeks ago that I started this challenge. Today's photo shows that I do really need a large rather than an extra-large. While very comfy, not uber-flattering. When I am done, the decision will be to keep and get the black in a large for my reward, or sell and get the black in a large for my reward.

Today is basic (big surprise) with leggings from Amazon and my Allbirds burgundy Wool Runners (no socks and very comfy). Time to run errands!

Day 59 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

Chilly day but might warm up later. Started out with my Allbirds (dark blue) Wool Runners, 32degrees mock turtleneck, and Woolx Stella leggings (in petite - yay) with my freshly washed burgundy Everett (which I still love).

Day 57 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

As you can see, the Everett in XL could work as a dress for me, one reason I probably won't be ordering any dresses from Wool&. {sniff} I can't afford to alter an over $100 dress, not on a fixed income. If I get the Everett in L, it will be a little shorter but that's okay, since I really don't plan to wear like a dress. I only wear dresses to weddings & funerals. LOL!

I had to reverse this photo since it was a mirror shot, but loved being able to layer this XL fun t-shirt.

And this was my final outfit. My Woolx Everett layered with my fun t-shirt over 32degree twill joggers and topped off (or bottomed off?) with my new teal Allbirds Wool Runners.

Day 56 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

Mixed bag but basic day. My Everett is topped with on old (very old) Columbia fleece vest. My pants are Wool& Joggers and my shoes are me newest Allbirds Wool Runners (I love this teal sort of color almost as much as my burgundy ones).

Day 55 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

I realized today that I'd never done a bathroom pic. LOL! So here you are! Today I've layered my Daily Ritual long, super-soft, warm Rayon blend shirt from Amazon, Smartwool socks,  and 32degrees fleece leggings over my Everett. The shirt is oversized so it works well as an outer layer. It's cold and windy so I vowed to stay warm.

Day 53 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

Finally, a nice sunny day warm enough for an outdoor photo. The Everett seems to be a bit more purply in this light.

Took this photo in the car - part sun, part shade. Definitely more the color I normally see rather than the shade in the photo above. Oh, today I'm wearing my Everett with some generic leggings (yes, I like color) and my Allbirds Wool Runner Mizzles in a dark blue (almost black).

Day 52 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

Smiling through my headache - going to curl up on the sofa with my fuzzy slipper socks, 32Degrees baselayer tee, silky loose joggers from Amazon, and my Everett.

Day 51 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

Another basic day. Hard to see the colors but my leggings are from Allbirds (love the tummy compression) in a teal that matches my Forcool teal merino socks. My two favorite colors together - burgandy Everett and teal for the rest.

Day 50 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

In honor of making it halfway through the 100 day challenge, I cropped my photo a bit. LOL! Today is simple, Everett over inexpensive but colorful leggings and merino hiking weight socks. Taking a self-care day and vegging on the sofa.

But this photo is way more fun and celebratory on day 50. 

Day 49 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

Simple day with the Everett over my VIV Collection leggings (Amazon), Forcool merino socks (Amazon), and Allbirds Wool Runners (these have little bees embroidered on the side - I got them new on ebay at a bargain price, I suspect they were a custom order that got rejected or maybe part of a company thing).

Late yesterday, I noticed two stains in the front and had no idea where they came from. I tried a diluted Dawn mixture first. Wet the spot with cool water, poured a little Dawn mix on, rubbed a bit, rinsed, and hung to dry. Thanks to being over a heat register, it dried quickly but I could still see a little stain. So I tossed in the washer with Woolite and hung to dry when that was done. By bedtime, it was dry but the stain was still visible (at least to me).

I researched oil stains in the Facebook group, thinking this might have been butter from my veggies the night before), and saw that Ivory was recommended. Having some on hand, I figured, what the heck. So I repeated the wetting, wet the bar of Ivory and rubbed in a bit, rubbed the stain area a little, rinsed, and hung to dry over night.

This morning I held my breath as I checked - VOILA! The stain was completely gone. Phew!

Day 47 - 100 Day Wool& Challenge

 

Ahhh, fresh out of the shower. Me, not the Everett, but it was freshly washed yesterday and dried overnight. Wearing my Cuddl' Duds fleece leggings, my 32Degree mock turtleneck, and my merino socks. Toasty!
