Outfit #1 - Ugh, felt frumpy all day long...how could I improve this? Would a more structured jacket be better than the cardi? What color - light, dark? Ann Taylor sleeveless top, Halogen cardi, gray Alfani slacks, Nordstrom green bag, light green long necklace from Nordstrom Rack, BCBG peep-toe heels

Outfit #2 - I don't tuck...I tried it here...did it work? Seriously outside of my comfort zone due to the tucking...have I mentioned that I don't tuck? Ann Taylor top and slacks, sky high Michael Kors heels because they are the only shoes I can wear right now with these pants! (they are my favorite shoes, but unfortunately you can't see them!), mixed pearls - should I try a longer necklace, or are these shorter ones okay?

Outfit #3 - inspired by yankeebelle's "handsome" outfit post, I pulled out my vest today. Just meh - certainly not as cute as yankeebelle's version! Thoughts to improve? J. Jill vest, Jones New York white top, Classiques slacks, BCBG peep-toes, dark grey pearl necklace and earrings.

Trying to find what I need to do to take outfits from "fine" to "wow" so suggestions/critiques much appreciated! I'm thick-skinned - I can take it!
