Descriptions of your daily ensembles

I'm having a bad fashion day

Do you know those days when you woke up in the morning and have no ideia of what to wear and then leave the house with some pieces felling terrible unconfortable fo the rest of the day?

Well I'm having one of this days... I thought.. well maybe if I take a picture I'll realize I'm not that bad.. it was worse.. everything is wrong.. The jeans are my favorite pair from Ralph Lauren, I tried to combine with a cardigan I bought at El corte ingles and a simple cream shirt but the proportions seem all wrong. I had never use this cardi and now I see way.. it's too short for me..

Any ideias how to improve and survive this day!

I just had one of those days yesterday; I feel your pain!

If the cardi is too short, I try to find a layering piece that I can wear untucked under it, to extend my waist down so it looks more proportionate. Can you untuck the cami and remove the belt?

I think you look adorable as you are, but if you're not feeling it, I'm not going to argue! :) I know those days, when it doesn't matter what anyone else says, there's just something about the outfit that eats at you.

You can send me the cardigan if you decide to give it up - that's my favorite length and shape (elbow length, v-neck), and I'm having a terrible time finding replacements for the ones I have that are getting worn out.

What I do is wear cardigans like this over loose, flowy, blousy untucked shirts. But I don't have a tiny waist like you do, and I basically never tuck anything in. When worn over a loose blouse, the cardigan cinches things in and creates the illusion of a waist for me, while camoflouging the tummy.

This length cardigan also works particularly good with a dress.

Kirsten! Thank you for the suggestion.. I will try!

Shiny.. ah ah you are so funny! I will send you the cardi if nothing else works!!

Rute, I had the same thought as Kristen - try untucking!

Also, it's really not that bad. You don't look awful! The outfit just needs a little tweaking.

I had the same thought, can you untuck that top, or perhaps do you have something looser, but still simple to wear.

I love the cardigan it is really sweet and a lovely colour.
