Thanks Neel, RunsWithDolphins, Rita, Aubergine, Shedev, Una, & Debra!
Neel, I know what you mean about the waterfall cardigans. They are tricky. I have a red one that I like, but for some reason the grey one just seems frumpier to me. I also have a grey non-waterfall one that I feel less frumpy in.
RunsWithDolphins, I agree a moto jacket would be better. I have a black wool moto that I've worn before with this outfit that I really liked. I also have worn it with the black Spiegel leather jacket. Both of these versions are more me than the one with the cardi. I think I should stick with the version with the wool moto and boots--that's my hands down favorite! Speaking of hands, the outstretched hands are DS1--I was getting ready to put him in the bath, so I had to crop him out of the picture, LOL!
Rita, I know what you mean. I was a little late coming to the waterfall cardi trend. Before YLF I was mainly wearing cardi twinsets. Actually come to think of it, my current style could actually swing back to the retro-ness and matchy matchy of the twinsets!
Aubergine, I think you've hit on the problem. I think it's the combination of waterfall cardi plus turtleneck plus dangling bead necklace that is screaming Coldwater Creek to me.
Shedev, I agree I much prefer the first outfit because it seems more luxe and polished.
Una, the waterfall cardi might have worked better with your grey beanie, but I returned it...it just felt so much more Una than me!
Thanks Debra--I do like burgundy and black a lot--these pants seem to be my favorite jeans lately! I just wish they were a bit higher rise.
