As a reminder, here's the breakdown of what each day's theme is:
Week two started last Wednesday with "LBD to Work" day. The "B" had to be for blue in order for it to work for me. My "LBD" was a little (lot) dressy for work:
But this is the LBD...
...and I put a shell over it that goes with an entirely different suit. It's a great color of seafoam green. Not a perfect match with navy but it worked well enough:
With "LBD to work" day behind me, I moved on to the equally challenging and out-of-comfort-zoneish "tease that hair" day. This one involved a lot of "product" and a lot of forehead. One thing I did like about "tease that hair" day was the fact that it was International Women's Day and I was wearing a necklace made by Ugandan women and sold by Bead for Life.
What on earth to do for "rock star" day on Saturday, March 10? I was participating in the Shamrock Scurry 5K that day, so I experimented with a St. Patrick's Day themed "tattoo sleeve":
But it was a pain and I didn't want to run in it. So I tattooed (temporarily) something else:
Sunday saw me move from Ireland to France. It was "something borrowed" day and Tenley and I had an "Afternoon in Paris" women's luncheon with my mother-in-law, so Tenley loaned me her Eiffel Tower necklace.
On Monday, I walked in and my co-worker said, "Oh I see you are doing belt day!" People are sometimes more observant than you think! All of my belts were pretty boring so Goodwill came to the rescue:
Finally, to accent the final day of the (style) week, I needed my teenager's help for "dramatic eyeliner" day. The girl is a pro after all these years of "wings" as part of her dancer makeup. She applied liquid eyeliner on my top lid, and I filled out the rest with a darker pencil than I usually use. Great reaction when I walked onto the track for my weekly intervals workout tonight and one of my friends said, "Oh, did you get made up for track tonight?" It was a fun comment and led to another explanation of #stylememarch.
The spectrum of my eyeliner choices ranges from the usual (on the right - nothing!) to the modest one I have been using during #stylememarch to the pencil I used today after Tenley applied the "heavy artillery" liquid liner.
Yes, as a matter of fact I did wear this same shirt five days ago. Oops! Different jewelry each day though - maybe that mitigates the duplicativeness a bit.
Another week of #stylememarch behind me and a week ahead of digging deep in my limitless imagination to create something interesting out of my not-so-limitless closet.
Care to join me?

I love that you did this. I am so fashion stumped and scared of stepping out of my comfort zone thatit seems incredibly brave. It looks like you had a blast doing it though.
Oh how fun! You rocked everything! That Eiffel Tower necklace is cool!!

Ahhh! Paula I am so proud of you! The idea for "rockstar" day was INCREDIBLE! And I absolutely love you in the makeup your daughter did. It never occurred to me that I might have mom's getting a chance to empower their daughter's by asking them for style help in this month. Oh & I love that you put a shell over your LBD to make it look like a separate! You've proved to yourself that you are so creative! And as for re-wearing stuff: do it! Zero shame in re-wearing items. I do it all the time. The only time I push people not to do it, is when you have a closet full of things you're NOT wearing. And keep going back to the same handful of pieces. That's the reason to push yourself to wear something new: to make better use of everything you own. But it's certainly not because there's some rule that says we can't re-wear things. Often. :)
