Wanted to go with something pretty comfortable on Saturday morning, so I styled up this outfit pretty quickly to run some errands. I might do a similar repeat of this for Thanksgiving because I think it was pulled together, yet cozy and approachable. I included this top for the 30 for 30 Remix Challenge as a way of trying to get myself to style it. It's a tricky shirt reminiscent of the 1980s -- the only way I can describe it is that it wants to be ladylike with the florals, but then it wants to be a pirate on the high seas with its ruffly sleeves. I tempered its personality confusion by wearing a vest over it.
I'm still taking submissions for my Reader Showcase until 5:00pm est. So totally impressed with the submissions so far -- everyone's got a wonderful story to share about their favorite photo. If you're interested, holla at me!
LOVE the sweater vest layering:)

Loving the chunky sweater! Can't wait to see all of the pictures. My internet was out all weekend or I would have submitted one! :)
ReplyDeleteThe chunky cableknit on your sweater contrasts so nicely with the flutter sleeves on your blouse. And I think your wider-leg jeans are a perfect fit with these outfit!
