Nothing too special here, just trying to get back in the groove.

First, two work outfits with my burgundy Teddy pants and the new black loafers. First with the favorite CM Metallica sweater, then with a sleeveless grey JCrew shell and leather jacket.

Second, my travel/concert outfit for tonight - went for comfy jeans, very dressed down but I am tired! New anthro lace shell and silk cami, Pilcro jeans, Seychelles suede booties, new Zara bomber, and JCrew crossbody.

Any comments welcome.

Also, Tex's haircut video post has me ready to chop again. What do you think?

Finally, meet Jackson, a client's dog. I could not resist him!!!!

Jackson is ADORABLE. I Iove terriers, and hope your doggies are in good health.

GLAD you posted and are getting back into the groove, Viv. I've missed your wonderful outfits. You look fabulous in all these looks. #3 is my favourite, and GORGEOUS on you. (You had me with the lace).

You look amazing, Vivian!! The epitome of glam gamine! Love the new loafers and top and do not know what body changes you are worrying about. The pup's adorable, too.

These are all great!
You and Cocolion really rock the pointy booties.

Ok, I want to steal those booties.

Looking good! You sure know how to do cropped pants. And I particularly like no 3 - the teal blue lace top with the pale boots looks really fresh. I am seeing quite a bit of that colour around here - it makes me happy. Jackson is super adorable.

I like the pale boots a lot. I tried a teal lace top from Reiss recently and my normal size was so narrow that it wouldn't go over my head and I was too disheartened to try again. Yours is of course great. And what did you work out with the loafers?

Adorable doggy! And fantastic light boots, my favorite is with the bomber.

Great outfits there. I think 3 is my favourite too, but the casual look in 4 is also very appealing!

Well and truly back in the groove I should say. You look lovely as ever, and I'm always a sucker for a tiny dog in a huge handbag.

Sorry you've been struggling with body changes. I always find a great outfit helps me over those obstacles. Hope it's helping you too.

Awww, cute doggie!

Sorry, got distracted there for a minute

I have to say that as far as I'm concerned Viv, you never got out of your groove. These are great looks. You really do have a knack for styling crop flares. Love that outfit and also the skinnies and light boots, plus bomber and lace top is genius.

#4 is fab, fab, fab....not that the others aren't great as well....love the light color booties, somehow i feel off balance when i wear light color footwear.

Wow, the crop length is really fab on you, Viva, all are beautiful and well done for your purposes!

Meredith

All of these looks feel very current and stylish. I LOVE the blue top in #3.

What a treat.... a set of Viva's WIW's You look fabulous in all of them Vivian, whatever body stuff you are going through sure doesn't show.

I need to know more about that CM sweater. any chance it's new? Or is it the one from 2-3 years ago that I wanted desperately but just didn't work on me

Good to see you decided to keep the loafers. Aren't they awesome?

I know you said you're struggling with some things lately, but it certainly is not apparent in these photos. You look great in all of these, and I particularly love that sleeveless lace top. You've got me wondering if it would layer over a simple slim tee for cooler weather.

LaPed

Veteran

Wow -- love 3/4! Also, those Teddies really suit you and look so good w/ the loafers.

Loving every one of these outfits viv - you look fantastic and effortless which is something I only strive to do. Such a cute pup too!

Your hair is not too far off of the Claire cut - I also watched this video of Dominique Sachse styling hers like Claires, maybe you've already seen it?

Thanks for the love, everyone. Sticking only to items that really fit has helped me feel a bit better about my body. Also, I've stopped feeling that I should follow or even really try the "shorter on top" trend of the moment. The lace top hangs below my waist line and is not fitted. And I purposely sized up on the Zara bomber to get a longer line. I'm so happy I did. I really love the look for me, and I am much less self-conscious in it.

Angie / Janet / Anne / Mirjana / Meredith: This lace top was such a find, and so unexpected. Like Janet, I've been thinking about layering it, too. I have a couple of l/s tees from Kit and Ace that are too snug to wear alone but might be great under this. Also, maybe a white button down for a more preppy look if offset with something RATE? I really want to find ways to wear this top more. I'm in love with the color.

Suz / UmmLila / Elizabeth P / La Ped / Lyn: I love these Halogen loafers! They really strike exactly the look I was aiming for (especially with the Teddies), and are comfortable up to about 8 hours (not sure if anything works that well beyond 8 these days). And Elizabeth, the sweater is old, at least 2 years.

Smittie / Shevia / Joy / Brooklyn / KKards: I really don't do light footwear except my Stan Smith sneakers. It's fun to look at those who wear white sandals, pumps, and booties, but they are really not for me. These buff suede booties, though? Definitely work. And they feel very "laid back LA" with some worn jeans and a slouchy top.

Approprio / Diane / Sisi: If I could carry Jackson, I think I'd always feel stylish.

I love all of these - the all black with cool loafers, the tan booties with jeans. Can't pick a favorite.

The 1st fit is giving me life. I'm loving all the shoe/boot choices.
