Come Get Ready With Me This Morning
Do you go to your closet each morning and look around, trying to come up with something to wear? I either do that, or I used to be guilty of wearing the same things over and over again just because I knew the outfit looked good. There is nothing wrong with wearing the same outfit more than once, but switching things up is what keeps your outfits interesting. Come along with me, and get ready with me this morning.
There are outfits I like better than others, but I can always find something about the outfit I like and tweak it the next time. That is what I would do with this outfit. I call these outfits my Chicken and Dumplings outfits. I love all the parts, but they don’t go together the best. Lol!

I usually lay out the outfit I want to wear on the bed and see if it is pleasing to the eye. Then, I put on my makeup before getting dressed. I finish off my makeup with a lip liner, lipstain, and a tiny bit of gloss. I’ve been using this trio of products for a while, and I like the neutral color, which is more mauve than brown. I’m trying a new mascara, and I admit to being shocked at how well it performed right out of the tube. It usually takes a couple of uses before the mascara works properly, but this one was good right away. I only use one coat of mascara because I don’t like clumpy lashes, and this one really coated well and stayed put all day long.
I wanted to create an elevated casual look by pairing this navy Cardigan Sweater with a pair of Straight Chino Pants. I love wearing navy and khaki together, so I thought this would be an outfit that was a home run…instead, it was a double.
I like this cardigan sweater, but I don’t love it. The sweater isn’t right for the look I was after and looks “off” when worn with the chinos. I also think I would have liked the sweater if I had been longer and if I had ordered a larger size. It looks like the sweater is almost sold out in all colors, so I’ll have to send this one back. When I was looking on the website to reorder, I came across a few other options that I think would work even better. They aren’t as dressy and would suit the chinos better.
The chinos fit me well, and I even like the look of them from the back. They are a little loose, but I wouldn’t want them any tighter. The sweater was too short and boxy for the chinos, but they would look great with a button-up shirt and a denim jacket.
While I like ALL the parts of this outfit, I think it would be better worn with other items. I love that each of these items is versatile and can be worn in lots of ways. Let me know what you think. Am I being too critical, or do you agree that this is a Chicken and Dumpling outfit?

I am going to try the mascara. I use to do the lash extensions. I stopped doing them because they were ruining my lashes. Love the outfits and glad you got to go to the game. Have a blessed day!
I agree totally I like the pieces, but not together. As I get older I don’t want tops that stop at my waist.
I think a deep navy sweater and chinos in more of a stone color would hit the mark !
I totally agree with you on your perspective of this outfit. I get my clothes out each evening for the next day. My plans for the day impact what I’m going to wear.
I’m not a fan of the sweater, but I don’t like cropped tops, so it would be a given for me anyway! The pants are nice looking though.
Both pieces are fine just not together. I would wear the crop cardigan with wide jeans or pants. I just checked and it’s sold out. I would have liked it for me. It’s not a petite size but it would work for me because it’s crop. The pants because they are straight I would wear with a longer cardigan or blazer or button up shirt.
You look cute in the outfit. I don’t really love crop pants with a crop sweater. If my top is short I like long pants so my legs look longer. I want to try the L’Oreal mascara. Is it really smudge proof?
It didn’t smudge in me at all. I even had a hard time removing it later that night. 🤣
look forward to reading your post with my morning coffee you make all these outfits look amazing.
I just love your honesty and humble approach to life, Tania. Thanks for being real. I agree with everything you posted and think you’re beautiful, even if it was a “miss.” Haha. Have a super day!
I also love kaki and navy but agree the sweater doesn’t work well. I think the sweater is to dressy for the chinos. “Chicken and dumplings” – that’s cute!
