Last week's outfits (before and not including the Sart outfit worn on the 18th).

Worn to work, then out for tacos for dinner. Experimenting with belting a scarf, but over outerwear only
Worn to work. Not sure about shorts+tights without boots, did this turn out OK? The whole shorts+tights thing is still a very new look for me. I think I should've worn a shorter or longer coat, too.
Worn to the dentist for 2 crown seatings, then off to work. Sporting the semi-tuck which I've become more partial to. (Get it? Get it?? Punny.)

I'd think I'd like #2 better with boots or chunky heels. The ballet flats seem a bit too twee for me.
I like the semi-tuck on you.

Chunky heels! That's what I should have done, thanks. Would, say, these sandals work? I think all my chunkier heels are in sandal form at the moment.

I'm liking the belted scarf and I love the semi-tucked, casual #3.

Yes those would have worked just fine.

I agree with Anna on the boots or chunky heels. i'm not really into ballet flats at all, though - probably because I can't wear them. Sour grapes and all. You look great, and I am THRILLED that the Sart inspiration outfit went over so well!

Morethanbeige - Thanks!

Anna, Una - I'll try with these sandals next time, perhaps later this week. I've only worn the shorts+tights with boots before this.

Una - I like ballet flats for certain looks, but usually I just feel too short! And they also never have enough arch support for my high arches. (Still working on the style direction analysis, I'm having a bit of a split personality crisis that I need to work through!)

Oy! I like 'em all (agree with the shoe suggestion re: #2 but LOVE that scarf!), and the third one in particular is just knocking my socks off!!

Aida, I can see your style evolving. Can you see it evolving? Me likey

I see Anna's point about the cunky heel, but I like the ballet flats too actually. Sweet!

Digging the half tucked look and the belted scarf. Well done. You look fab!

1 & 3 look great, 2 looks a bit seasonally confused to my eye - the shorts don't seem weighty enough with the black tights (does that make sense?), but the suggestion of a chunkier shoe might help or even a chunkier sweater. The scarf in 2 is goregous!

Thanks ladies!

Angie - I certainly see it, and have been actively evolving it with gentle YLF prodding I just posted a rather long post about this very topic. Glad you like it

Lori - The tights are semi-sheer, though perhaps I need them to be even sheerer for the other lighter-weight materials. The shorts are definitely cool weather material though not very thick so I see your point.

I think you look great in all of them! Love the shorts with tights...i'm thinking of doing this too soon...

Great outfits, Aida! #3 is especially striking. Dramatic necklace and love the combination of brown and black! You do half tucked like nobody's business (love your pun!) The shorts are fab--I bet that chunky sandal would work well too but I do like it with the flats. It's sweet! The mustard and the stripes is a great color combination. I wouldn't have thought of that. I think I have that same top--and have only paired it with denim. Love to see your style evolving!

The shorts/tights combo looks nice, though, as you later stated, perhaps more sheer tights would've looked even better. Good job, though!

Aida, I adore your winter shorts. Very nice.

Also, I love when you wear your hair down, but the half up do is rockin'. You look terrific. Thanks for the extra pic of the side view.

Thanks for the great feedback, ladies!

Nicole - You'd rock the shorts+tights look, definitely give it a go. And then post pics so I can see how you style it

Kelly - This shirt also looks great with skirts! *hint hint*

Heather - I picked these shorts up from LOFT on clearance to experiment with, and I'm glad I did. I'd love to get a slouchy heavier wool pair similar to the ones Una just posted too though. Thanks for the hair compliment, I'm pretty hair challenged!

Aida, I got a black pair of wool sailor shorts at Anthro last year and they are really fun. Now is probably a bad time to be looking for wool shorts, though... I'll keep my eye out!

Yeah, probably not the best time to look hehe. It will be on my list this fall for sure! I'm thinking slouchy and pleated...

Love your striped top in #1! The scarf tucking into outerwear is cool! That would have really caught my eye if I saw you walking down the street.

Don't ask me any shorts with tights questions, I'm pretty clueless except I like the way they look with combat boots a la Tank Girl.

You are great at PPL, right up there with Sarah from Texas. Are your jeans in #3 a little loose, though? Or are they cut slouchy?

Denise, you caught me; the pants in #3 have indeed gotten loose by about a size >< (not complaining though, I'm very happy to finally be successfully losing weight). They were my "these make my butt look great!" pants and now they're a looser almost wide-leg boyfriend fit. Which I like, but they're starting to look sloppy in the waist and butt. I still love them so I'll get those taken in pretty soon, but I definitely plan to keep them looking slouchier overall. I can call them my "boyfriend wide legs"
