WIW and a mixed bag

Anonymous

What I wore today is at the end of this album. Before that is what I tried on and hubby photographed.

I wrote a description of the picture on the top of each. I tried to send them as one album but had no luck. Sorry for so many links to open.

I ordered some Nanette Lepore things from Nordstroms and in these pictures I am trying everything on. It's sort of a mix and match bag with some Frye boots and Fidji shoes I have also recently ordered. I would ofcourse have to tweak these matches to make real outfits and any suggestions positive or negative are welcome and helpful.
Nanette Lepore is not a lable I usually wear because they seem to be targeting a younger group. The dress I tried is so gorgeous IRL, too bad it is too short! I would highly recomend it to any of you who like their dresses this length.

The red jacket is a tomato red for those who are looking for that color, it is also sort of an odd design.

Some pics show Paige Premium Denim Melrose which is are straight leg jeans, and other pictures show ponte knit pants. My bag is a white Coach, and I have 2 new statement necklaces to show off. The silver is by Lois Hill and the white is by Ben Amun. I am very excited about my growing jewelry collection.

Thanks for any comments you might have. You can click on any picture to enlarge it.

Ok. I could come until "NL silk dress, micro fishnet hose, Frye Rider Pull On boots" and had to stop to gush about how fabulous you look in that picture. Boots, dress, hose... OMG!

Another OMG! "Grn NL jacket, ponte knit pants, Rory scrunch boots"... the tomato red jacket is also so edgy! Love it all... the black belt on white jacket makes it so unique and the fabric look heavenly!

San, you look amazing in everything and have killer legs! Could you wear the dress as a tunic over skinnies and leggings? The print is so pretty. Are the Maya pumps still comfortable, the style looks amazing and leg lengthening.

I also love your hair this shade.

I'm having a difficult time with photobucket tonight. I was not able to post a whole album without posting everything in my photobucket. Now I see that several links are dead which I have gone back through and deleted and then re pasted to no avail. I hope after I sleep on it they magically open up. Or I will repost again tomorrow.
I'm so sorry about the frustration.

Thankyou so much LOP and RandJ.
I would love to find some way to be able to keep the dress. There is not enough hem to let out. Some people layer under skirts but I wouldn't want to lessen the sopistication of the dress as is.
The Maya pumps are very comfortable. They are lined in leather and have a padded footbed. I am not getting any pinching at all. I would like a chunkier heel for stability but I can handle this.
Can you both open all of the links just fine?
Thanks ladies for the comments and lovely compliments.

San, I copied and pasted the links. I think you just need a space between your bullet points and some of the links.

Anonymous

Oh, what is a bullet point, I'll fix it.

San, the links that work have a number, then a dot, then a space and lastly your link

the links that don't work do not have the space

I hope that helps because I want everyone to see your fab finds.

Ok great, I fixed it with your help Julie.
I see now my mistake. Computers are so smart but get tripped up by a little things like that! Hmmm.

I know there is a coveting thread happening now too, and I will post this there, but of all these Frye boots I have I am still coveting these.

I hat to be greedy but I am so into these comfortable boots and shoes that will get better with age.

OMG what FABULOUS looks!! I'm so in awe of your style San!

My absolute fave was that lovely cream jacket though - it is just stunning...

I feel like I can learn a lot from you.

Oh you're sweet Theresa. Actually last year I could not find a jacket to fit me properly. It seems the styles are going my way this year with the length coming down. I'm so happy about that. I have always liked the look of a great jacket, bag and shoes.

San-You look great in everything!

San, you are INCREDIBLE. Absolute eye candy. Every piece is GORGEOUS and my Fidji lust has grown exponentially. Clearly your neighbor doesn't have a clue. You're a class act.

I absoluteluy love everything. I understand what you mean by the dress though. I wish there was enough hem to let it out.

The red jacket iis my absolute favorite. So cute.

Claudia

All fantastic looks on you San! In LOVE with that red jacket. Too bad that dress is too short, because otherwise it is so great on you (love how you've styled it).

You look so totally fab!

Kristine

Veteran

Wow, you look great!! I LOVE the necklaces. The red jacket is a beautiful shade on you! The dress is very pretty, I like the idea of wearing it as a tunic or with opaque tights. You have the legs for it. You'll give your stodgy neighbor a fit with that one.

You look amazing! I want to be you when I grow up!
I absolutely love love love Green NL jacket, rory scrunch boots, Cream NL jacket wiith the polka dot blouse and black belt, Frye boots in Tan.
The dress is amazing too but it is kind of short.
Wow!!!

oh my word San!!!! could you look any hotter? I'm pretty sure you won't make it out of the house in those outfits because your husband will be attacking you on the way out

seriously- I loved everything but the dress. too short ;-( the white, cream, and red jackets are all to die for! feel free to send anything you dont want down this way

San,
Just wanted to say after seeing your outfits than none of your skinnies/boots combinations were immodest. Just chalk up your neighbor's comment to a different perspective and move on.

So many great jackets, I'm jealous!!!

Boof

Can I be you when I grow up? Wow! Every outfit looks effortlessly stylish and beautiful! I understand your feelings about the dress, but it looks stunning on you. You just won't feel fab if the length makes you self-conscious.

You all are the greatest. How could I feel bad about what my neighbor said to me when I have all of you making me feel like a 'Queen for a Day'. Anyone old enough to remember that TV game show? Housewives signed up to be on the show and somehow one ended up winning the title of The Queen for the Day, and getting spoiled in 1950's-60's standards. They even put a fur cape on her shoulders and crown on her head at the end of the show as she teared up. I think she won a new refridgerater or something like that. I can see it these days the Queen for a Day would pick up that refridgerater and hurl it out the door demanding a day at a top notch spa. I know I would, if I could hurl a refridgerater. Sorry off topic again.

OMG San, Please tell me where to get those tan scrunchy boots!!!! That outfit along with the outfit were the red jacket were my absolute faves!!! You look amazing in everything but if you have to choose, I would chose those. I personally like the look of the colorful jackets better than the cream and white ones but I seem to be in the minority. I also love your taste in the statement necklaces, very beautiful on you. I can't wait until I get the the point that you are at, where so many pieces look good! Amazing.

Sandy, remember when I said that it's the older French women in France whose style blows me away - look in the mirror and you'll see why :0)

You inspire me greatly. I feel like showing you off to my style idol Vera Wang.

san, I love every single outfit to bits. Even the NL dress, if you can make it work for you. It just looks divine on you. I wish I could express well in words the magnitude of inspiration you are. Just killer-tastic!
