WIW: A work outfit, and floral skinnies!

Outfit 1: Worn to work on Friday. Thought I'd try these thrifted wide-legs with a different topper. This is my Theory jacket. Before this I've worn then with fitted top and cropped cardi. Did it work? Not sure why my leg is so wrinkly in this pic.

Outfit 2: Worn today. School starts tomorrow, and I took the day off with DS to clean his room and get organized. This is a truly oversized sweater, but I love it and wear it with all my skinnies. It's beyond surrender for sure. New $20 floral skinnies from the grocery store - yay!

1st look works for me and I love the oversized sweater.

I think 1 worked well. The second is perfect for a day around the house.

I really like #2. The only thing with #1 is where are your feet? Should (do) shoes poke out just a bit?

Good question! I thought Angie's rule for wide-legs, especially on shorties, is that they almost drag the ground. My toes peek out when I walk but otherwise they are just about covered, especially because my feet are so small.

You made the cardi work for you. The first thing I noticed is your hair. Are you styling it differently today? i love it.

Love #2. Fun silhouette in 1. I bet it looks awesome in motion. Looking good there, Una!

I love your style! And I'm impressed that you found such a cool piece at the grocery store.

Love #1, Una! This is great work dressing. On additional days, you could try to use a striped knit for a french look, or a drapey blouse for a more retro look.

#2 is great for off-hours, and proof that everyone needs a little floral in their lives!

I'm not typically a fan of floral pants, but I really like it on you and the way you've styled it. I love the Theory jacket and the blouse is so pretty.

Love that Theory jacket on you - so perfect! But the floral skinnies outfit just SLAYS me with how fab it is!!!

I love how opposite these two outfits are! Floral skinnies from the grocery store? They're perfect with that voluminous top. And I LOVE your cat-eye shades. Too cool for school!

Whoa. That JACKET!!! It is stunning, Una. You look wonderful in that. Is it black or ink blue? My screen isn't telling me precisely.

Love outfit 2 as well. So fun, so fresh, and so easy, plus a very UWP way to wear floral pants.

Suz, it's black and it is turning out to be one of those (yay!) superhero items that elevates everything to a new level. Cut-off denim, skirts, work pants, boyfriend jeans, skinnies.

I really want to learn how to identify those pieces in advance. Seems like they (like superheroes) have a shy alter ego that doesn't always reveal its true nature....

Wait -- did you say floral pants at a grocery store in Alaska? Do wonders ever cease?

I have not joined team floral or even printed pants, they don't work on me. But they look fab on you, so glad you got them. So I'm loving #2! Work outfit is sleek too, it's good to see wide legs for a change.

I love your floral skinnies! Those are amazing! Also, I love your theory jacket. I can see why you think it is a "superhero!!" It's too bad those aren't easier to identify at the store!

Those grocery store bought pants * chuckle* are awesome and I really dig the widelegs.
You know, in my country of origin, supermarkets sell lots of things. My daughter has tons of pictures of random stuff she has found at supermarkets in my hometown. We found motorcycles once! Too funny!

Two really great outfits. I really do love that big sweater, and brightening it up with the floral pants is just perfect.

I am totally stealing the inspiration of 2 but subbing in my crazy diamond pants instead!

These are both outstanding to me, pulled together from head to toe, everything marching to the same beat.
