Wallflower in Citron + Burgundy Boots

Note to self: don't take a citron-heavy outfit photo in front of the citron wall! Oof!

This is just a quick shot of my outfit for today's return to Dress for Success, post-holiday. It was actually pretty warm today, so I went for this heavy blazer instead of a wool coat. You can't really tell, because the color is so dark (and shrouded in shade... yes, I know), but the boots are burgundy to match my bag.

I am also wearing this marble-esque watch by Nixon, the high price of which broke my little heart back in October. I was helping the accessories department one night at work, and I found the watch for only $56 after my discount! I took it as a sign that we were meant to be together.

That's crazy how much you match the wall! Neat photo, if not the best outfit details. Score on the watch! I love when something falls into our laps eventually that we've coveted.

Gorgeous! Love this outfit...and the wall!

Love this whole outfit including the matching wall! Love the sweater that looks like a blazer, the watch is fantastic and you look fab!

This is by far my favorite incarnation of the blazer so far! Big surprise, I know.

A Nixon watch! So cool.

Great outfit and your hair looks FAN-tastic!

Oh man, that's an utterly drool-worthy watch! I'm going green here!

And not only is this an outfit I want to fan&favourite (::sighing over the beauty of that blazer::), it's actually a GREAT photo --- It's amazing how the line of shade aligns with your neckline! Tres cool! (insert accent)

Wow - cool pic! I love that blazer - what a great find in the throes of job-searching!

That jacket is lovely, would love to see the details out of the shade. Very cool outfit and the watch was such a great find!

Soooooo much love for this outfit! I'm head over heels for the citron top with that tweed-ish blazer. Fab mix! And WAY TO GO on the watch!

Gorgeous! Love your new hair!

Love this outfit and the wall and your hair is looking great. I esp. love the way the line seems to continue right through you! I think I'd find more colored walls and do this more often as it could make a great series of outfit/color studies.

Thistle

Love the jacket. Love the whole outfit, wall and all!

I agree. The watch was meant to be yours!

I like the citron wall with the outfit!

Have you noticed that you pose tilted to one side? A signature pose

Astrid

I love this outfit! Even more so because of the citron wall. Your hair looks great, I somehow missed when you went shorter.

Amy

Fabulous!

I was sure Angie would love this outfit, and me too, sour brights yum! I wish I could see you better for the burgundy, cause I know I would love that color combo. Your photo is uber-stylish and may I just say you (almost) make me want to cut my hair because yours looks so wonderful.

cobaltblue

Sour! You look great, especially your hair.

I'm so jealous of your Tahari blazer.

Also, you know I quite like that watch, even though I'm so attached to Timex easy-reader, black and white watches.

I am in awe of your more casual style, Rae. You were definitely trapped in those corporate clothes, the creativity just took off, LOVE. I loved the midi outfit from yesterday too. I think it went away before I had a chance to post.
