Violet - Outfits Week of 9/28/08

I'm a bit behind posting pictures, but here are my outfits from the week of 9-28-08. As always, any feedback is much appreciated. I'm working this weekend, but that means I get to leave early today. I have to return a shirt to Forever 21, so I'm going to see if I can find one more shirt to wear with the skinny jeans. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

I got this shirt from Express years ago. I don't think it works any more, so it's in the giveaway pile.

Shirt - Express
Jeans - Old Navy "The Flirt" jeans

It was still pretty warm, so I wore a skirt and sandals but in some fall colors. I've also had this outfit for years, but I think a v-neck shirt would be more flattering.

Shirt - Express
Skirt - Express
Sandals - Aerosoles

Violet, you looked great all week! I especially love Tuesday. That denim jacket looks perfect with a bit of lace peeking out. Very sleek and stylish!

I'm inspired by your accessorizing. Your necklaces really make your outfits! I'm making a mental note to try and add jewelry to complete my look. Great week!

I agree with kellygirl. The denim jackit outfit is perfect! It was especially profound to see that picture following Monday's high neckline sweater which you say would be better with a V-neck shirt. These pictures prove the point to be wary of high necklines with a larger bust.
The first one I do believe the neckline is a bit revealing, ofcourse depending on where you would wear it. But you say it is in the give away pile.
All other outfits and accessories are 10. Beautifully done. The colors are beautiful for you.

Tues, Wed, Thurs and Fri are definitely 10s -- you look great in all those outfits. I think that you are right that a v-neck would look better than a crew neck. For some reason, showing a bit of skin with a v-neck or scoop neck works well for bustier gals.

I agree that Monday's top isn't the most flattering. I think because it sit so far to the edge of the shoulder that it would be difficult to wear it over a cami and the bell sleeves would be difficult to wear under a cardigan. You have plenty of other great tops so I'd leave this one in the give away pile.

You look great, Violet! I love your use of necklaces. My favorite is the denim jacket outfit. The other ladies make great suggestions about crewnecks vs. v-necks.

You've got great style, Violet. I'm glad you post. I think you look great everyday.

Love the dressy outfit with the denim jacket! And I agree with you and others that v-neck sweaters suit your lovely figure much better than the high-neck top.

I agree with the others about the crew neck sweater. The rest were 10s! My favorite was Wednesday's outfit for color and fit, but the Gap jacket with lace-trimmed cami was a close second. Great week!

Kristen

That jean jacket is amazing on you! I loved everything about that outfit. Thursday's and Friday's outfits are also my favorites-- the color and cut of those sweaters are so flattering for you! As a larger-busted person, I have the same trouble with crew necks versus v-necks.

Thanks for all the feedback! The shirts from Sunday's and Monday's outfit both went into the donation pile. I have had them for years and I think I can find something better.

I really like the denim jacket too. I find it to be pretty versatile and it's a good transition piece for fall. I will definitely be wearing that with more outfits.

kellygirl - Thanks! That is so cool that you got some ideas from my outfits. Necklaces are my favorite accessory. My hair covers my ears, so I don't wear earrings very often and bracelets interfere with using the mouse/keyboard at my desk. I also like scarves and am trying out some different belts.
