For Freckles in April‘s 10th day in the Winter Challenge, she challenged us to wear something that scares you. It took me a long time to figure out something that freaked me out in my closet but this is what I came up with:
I’m scared of wearing:
- white pants for fear they’re going to get stained
- the same thing two days in a row
- precious pieces of jewelry
- overly tailored jackets because it makes me look too corporate
- high heels because of what they do to my ankles
Today I threw caution to the wind and wore all of these things.
Outfit Breakdown
- Rust blazer – thrifted
- Multi-strand necklace – gift from Grandma
- Paisley tunic, transformed into a tube top – Nordstrom Rack (I wore this yesterday, but differently)
- Nude layering tee – modbod
- Braided belt – F21
- Watch – fossil
- Bracelet – Annie M. Jewelry
- Nail polish – Deborah Lippmann @ Nordstrom
- White pants – Gap
- Nude heels – some shoe store I can’t recall
One thing I am not scared of is orange. It’s my favorite color and wearing it gave me courage so wear all these other things that scare me.
Fill in the blank: Wearing ________ scares me.
Wow – I love the burnt orange blazer with the white pants. It is very pulled together. I also love how you styled the tunic. I think it adds just the right amount of whimsy to your outfit.
I just realized another thing that I am scared of – wearing a lighter color skirt or pants with a dark shirt.
Love the whole ensemble. That blazer is great, and I especially love your heels!
Your nails are killer gorgeous.
Thanks, Kayla. My sister, Mom and I have been having a nail party at my place this with this amazing copper color.
Thanks Immayer — when I first found the blazer at the thrift shop I thought it would be a great display piece but ended up loving it. The heels are great, but definitely sitting shoes

Thank you for your lovely compliment! You\’re absolutely right — the flowing paisley tunic definitely balances the more structured pieces.
Re: wearing a lighter color skirt or pants, give it a try and see how it works! Let me know how it all plays out for you.
That rust blazer is everything. Paired with white pants, it's a go-go-go! Work it, Sarah!
Thanks Chandra! You\’re so kind to say so! although tangerine tango is everywhere, rust is a muted shade of orange that virtually everyone can wear.
I love your hair!!! This outfit is great!!! Where are your glasses from?
Thanks Mandy! I\’ve found it\’s way fun having short hair
The sunglasses are from Nordstrom — I think they were like $10 or something ridiculous like that!
