Tanya week of 1/19

Here are my outfits from this week, as you can see I haven't been taking off my new white watch :

I have a question regarding the shirt on Monday, on what is the proper way to wear those cuffs. If I turn them over like on the left arm that the arm length is not enough, but if I leave it like on the right arm it looks strange to me. I have a couple of more shirts with same cuffs so it would be really nice to know.

Many thanks!

It's difficult to pick a favourite - you looked great all week! I like the high-waisted jeans on you, and the tweed skirt outfit.

I think I have the same Express shirt as you - I always wear the sleeves unfolded. It's a little weird because the cuffs are so wide, but if you fold them you can't see the buckle.

Once again, you are amazing!! My favorites are Thursday and Saturday. I love that skirt with the red belt. Where did you get those long fitted cowlnecks? They work so beautifully under shorter sweaters. As far as the cuffs, I think that the shirt looks better with the cuff up. I did not notice that the arm length was too short, maybe it is supposed to be that way? I am no expert on buttondowns, hopefully someone else will have an answer.
You look so feminine and dress so suited to your bodytype. Thanks for posting!!

Thank you so much ladies!

GG, your words are making me blush. Thank you for being so sweet. The cowl tops - I get them wherever I can find them. The cream one is from Arden B and purple one from BCBGirls. Express currently has a great sleeveless one for layering, although the colors are all wrong for you, other then the teal ( and maybe purple). I think it would look very pretty on you:

I will be picking up a few of them once they go on further sale, they look very versatile.

Edit: GG, here's my cream cowl top, it is still available:

Another great week. I love the Thursday outfit especially the skirt with the red belt. Is the skirt a new find? I would buy it in a heartbeat.
As for Monday's cuff I like them up, it adds an architectural element to the outfit.
I am going to be looking for more belts after seeing these pictures.
Thanks again for the ideas, Tanya.
Your posts are like shopping on line for me. I know you put a lot of work into looking for clothes that fit you well.

Tanya - wonderful. Saturday's w/the dramatic red belt is my favorite though they all rock! Killer every one of them. You could do the cuffs either way though I have a slight preference for them long since you can see the detail.

Tanya, stellar as always! I love Thursday and Saturday in particular (the white cords outfit and the skirt). You look really nice for a Saturday! And the Sunday casual outfit is very sporty and cute. Well, I guess I love every day!

That cuff question is a good one. Can you still see the buckle on the shirt when the cuff is folded up? The length when it's folded is way too short, so I am wondering (like you) if it's meant to be worn down, plus the buckle will show. But that seems strange too ...

I love all of your outfits. The skirt outfit is very chic, but my favorite is Monday. I think the cuffs are meant to be worn long and they look great, what do you find strange about them?
Also purple and raspberry colors look great on you.

Thank you all so much once again!

Kellee, the tweed skirt is very old, 4-5 years maybe. It has been sitting in my closet unworn so I finally decided to break it out.

I think I'll wear those cuffs unfolded ( that's what I did) since I prefer the sleeves longer.

Loooove your Saturday outfit, Tanya, it is so stylish! Swoon. And you look so great in purple - Thursday's outfit is just perfect.

I realy like Monday's outfit. Interesting idea with buttondown, cardi and boots - I was always wondering about buttondowns and Docs. I'll try something like this in the future.

I adore the purples on Thursday.

Saturday is absolute killer. You look smashing, Tanya!!! Thumbs up!!!

Eva

You look great all week. I LOVE the tweed skirt outfit. The belt really pops. I'm glad you found the skirt again, it looks amazing. I also really like Thursday's purple outfit.

Amanda

Thursday and Saturday are two of my most favorite outfits I've seen you wear -- and that is saying a lot since I always love your outfits. I also have the express shirt. In the summer, I rolled the sleeves up over 3/4 length sleeve tops that I wore over them. In the fall, I wore cardigans with sleeves that were as long as the shirt's cuff. I think in the first outfit where the cuffs show, you should leave them down because they are a design element of the shirt and I think they look good. But I think they also look good rolled up.

Monday and Saturday are my favourites, you look so effortlessly chic!! (and I like the shirt with the sleeves unfolded).
That raspberry red is an amazing colour on you, and thanks for the inspiration, I'd never thought of pairing a wrap cardi with a cowl neck top before...

So inspiring, as usual, Tanya! My faves are Wednesday and Saturday. I love you in a skirt, and it's not a look we get to see very often. I think you could wear the cuffs of the shirt either up or down.

Violet

I LOVE Saturday's outfit. The red belt is killer!

I see what you are saying about the cuffs on Monday's outfit. I prefer the cuffs folded up.

Thank you all very much, you are too kind!

I am glad the skirt outfit is a success. I love skirts&dresses, but get to wear them very rarely (more in the summer) beacuse they just don't fit in my lifestyle, plus it's freezing here now.

My favorites are also Thurs. and Sat. I love seeing you in a skirt but you look fantastic all week. You continue to be inspiring.
