White, cream, navy, brown and occasional pops of color

What I wore last week - I guess I'm back to my familiar neutrals!

1. Monday - Memorial Day and making peace with the crease: I had the day off and this is what I wore for running errands (aka going shoe crazy at the Rack). I bought this linen shirt on our honeymoon in Paris 9 years ago - worth hanging onto for more than sentimental reasons?
2. I wore the jeans cuffed as shown in #1 - do they look better rolled or unrolled in #2?
3. Tuesday: I kept the pair of Sofft Sandals that I bought at the Rack. I'm really glad I did - they are really comfortable! I think I'll be able to wear them into the fall with brown tights?
4. Wednesday: It's hard to see in this picture, the pants are a charcoal pinstripe, which I thought was kind of fun with the horizontal stripe shirt.
5. Thursday: I'm sure you've seen this before - I've worn it several times. Nothing particularly exciting.
6/7. Friday: my new sandals again! Plus a new shirt. I know brown tweed is a false plain - is this still considered pattern mixing? I was really happy with this outfit.
8/9: MOTG - two variations of the same outfit. The cons and rolled jeans were for bike riding. I unrolled the jeans and wore the boots when we went out to dinner.

WOW. Such beautiful outfits. My fav is umm....umm...*all*

I love the sandals and I think they would also be great with tights in the cooler weather.
The jeans look equally good rolled and un-rolled! I thought at first they were cropped because they were so expertly cuffed. Your more casual outfits are copy-worthy and FAB!

I love the relaxed chic of your shopping outfit! You scored with the new Sofft sandals! I'm envious of your heel wearing feet

You always exude such a polished style - and your MOTG outfits are no exception.

Very fab!

Neutral or colour business wear or casual you look great. Really like your casual outfit with chucks - you look like a teenager (in a good way).

I like how you cuff your jeans - it is two different looks but both work. And keep the linen blouse - it is classic and sentimental! I love your work polished looks but my favorite is the last one with the striped t - you do polished, simple casual so well.

6/7 is an easy favourite for me in this fab week! Love the patterns and textural interest. Also LOVE #1 --- PLEASE KEEP! That's the perfect ecru summer shirt!

Also enjoying the blue jacket with two stripes, and the jacket and bag combo (never gets old!) in #5. Yummy week, Christy!

Great week, and I love your new shoes. Of the outfits, my favorites are 3, 5, 6 (I love the print blouse with the tweed jacket) and 8. You look super cute with the jeans and cons!

marianna

Lovely! You look effortlessly chic and super stylish in all the ensembles.

hee hee...Fashionista's stole the words right out of my mouth. I love that jacket in number 5 and your new sandals are beautiful.

I can't get past how cute you are in your cons and rolled jeans!!

I love how different you look in your different outfits. Your hairstyle and clothing REALLY change your appearance and it's so fun!

Fantastic week Christy!

Great week! I love them all, but I'm especially drawn to the first look and like the jeans both rolled and unrolled. I really like how pulled together, MOTG it is with the artsy jewelry and cross body bag. I would totally wear that, though I can't pull off that color of shirt.... which you should keep, by the way.

I like your casual outfits so much! And THE BAGS! And that top in nr.6. And the blazers. Plus the hair dos...what else?...Oh--- not to speak about those sandals...:-)

Deborah

So glad you kept those sandals! All outfits are gorgeous and inspiring.

Looking great Christy! No need to apologize for neutrals, you really rock 'em. I think for #1/2 I would prefer to see a wee bit of heel with the tunic-ish length top (I know, it'll be tough for you ). The top also looks dramatically better with the sleeves pushed up to me. I think those brown heels would be fun with tights in the fall! Your MOTG in #8/9 is soooo cute, especially #8! The rest are classic Christy goodness

Thanks everyone!

I love all the outfits and I really love the pants rolled up in #1 as opposed to unrolled in #2. You always dress so beautifully!

krishnidoux

Look at you! Wow!
First off, I repeat myself maybe, I LOVE your hair like this. In all the ways you have styled them. You are stunning in the dressier outfits, but I am completely falling for your casual versions. Especially #1, #2 and #9.
Thanks for sharing!
