My first WIW!

Well I finally managed to get a normal shot of myself today. I'm getting a tripod with a level so self timer shots should be easier at some point in the near future.

This is my take on the 70's on the go look. I didn't have a gold medallion, and I'm not sure if I could rock this look anyway. It would call too much attention to my middle, an area that I always struggle to camouflage.

ATL cascading cardi, scarf and belt
Hanes white T, semi-tucked
Joe's Jeans
Payless clog booties

I love the semi-tucked look for the playground but it was too sloppy for casual Friday at the office. Feedback welcome!

You look fab! Love your take on the 70's--it looks very current. PPL on you first post--well done!

You photo looks great and your pose is lovely too. Oh yes, and the outfit is also quite nice. The scarf really finishes off the look with detail/texture and color. *two thumbs up*

Love the oversized scarf, pants look perfect. I think you could definitely do this type of tuck/semi-tuck especially when paired with the scarf; the scarf hides plenty, though I don't think you've got much to worry about. Also, is this one of the photos you were saying you couldn't capture a natural look in? I think it looks perfectly natural

Very nice! I love how the sweater and the scarf work -- the "cascading" effect of both together is cool! Also love the colors.

Love the PPL (perfect pants length, I had to ask!). You look fresh and pulled together here, I like the way you styled this casual outfit. I too am a big fan of semi-tucked, I learned it from an ex-boyfriend. But I agree it's a very casual look. The scarf is really fluid and I love how well your jeans fit. I am a denim freak and Joe's is just about the only brand I don't own.

Welcome mod, you look great - I especially love the color combo, with the soft tones of the scarf and the sweater and the light jeans.

Great outfit! You did the flares perfectly! I love the scarf too to add that color (and your funny comment about camouflaging your middle -- I need to remember that one!).

Lovely outfit. The scarf really makes the whole look!
