The first is the "crisp" outfit that the title of this post refers to. I wore this on Tuesday to school and do errands. It's very simple but everything is in the accessories (the belt and the pearl layering necklace) and I got tons of compliments from the other moms:
The pants are the summerweight cocktail chinos from last summer, the shirt is the white popover currently on sale (in-store only in this color I think), and the blazer is from the Gap. I really like the popover, even if I think that I am going to wear it more like a shirt (tucked in) than like a tunic (too short to be belted in my opinion and otherwise shapeless). It's actually better than a shirt because it stays tucked in and I highly reccomend it.
I can't believe that I wore the following outfit yesterday and I was sweating in it (it felt like end of July):
Once again, I could have looked like I had just jumped out of the bed and picked the first tee and shorts on hand, but the accessories make it an "outfit", especially the studded belt (BTW, you are free to think that I STILL look like I jumped out of the bed):
I recently re-arranged that mess called my shoes closet so all my shoes are now easy to reach (while before I could only reach the newest that kept piling one over the other one). These are from many years ago, when I still lived in Paris and I used to buy almost all my shoes from Free Lance (for those who know). Unlike the JCrew sandals, they are padded and extremely comfortable. Now, do you think that I really need those Reese studded gladiators?
I felt tough in this outfit and even tougher when I added my new Marc Jacobs bag:
Today is the last day of "summer": tomorrow it is supposed to be much cooler, down to more seasonal temperatures. It was good until it lasted, I guess!
Stay tuned for some new arrival reviews!
Cute outfit. Are those the jcrew boyfriend shorts that are online now? I really like them.
ReplyDeleteShane, yes they are. They are marked down to $39.50 in store. I didn't size down because I prefer them a little bit loose but they do run big.
ReplyDeleteI love these looks, both are so classic, I don't even own a white shirt, I must pick one up. I really like the shorts too, I wish I could pull them off.
ReplyDeleteI think that shirt deserves a second look: I thought it would look boxy but it doesn't at all.
ReplyDeleteI'll look forward to the new arrivals post when I return from my trip!
