WIW - giving my NAS goodies a workout!

I apologize that some of these pictures are even worse quality than usual: 4 days a week we go to gym after work so by the time I get home and take the pictures the light is fading and I am a mess...:-(
#1 What I like about my NAS shopping this year is that I can wear the half of the goodies NOW! This outfit has 3 of them: Halogen silk shell, Paige Hidden Hills bootcuts and Me Too pumps. The rest is old - thrifted corduroy jacket and Luce hobo bag.
#2 My hair is a mess - this was a gym day! I felt pretty casual and not very inspired so a very simple outfit with white Kut bermuda shorts and ink blue shirt from Le Chateau. Just for fun I added this funky necklace from a local boutique and my go-to red Chromia bag.
#3 Another casual one - I felt I am in a rut. I really need to get a new pair of clams as these are too big for me (dried them in the dryer before YLF has enlightened me). I posted almost exactly the same outfit some time ago but this time clams are dark wash, not white and also look - my new oxfords! I am still getting used to them I guess as I look at my feet during the day and wonder if they make them too big... but they are comfortable and do not need any stretching!
#4 I wear this skirt once a week and trying to style it differently every time - such fun! This is another take on yellow, blue and animal print of JCrew with tan belt and bag thrown in!
#5 I went to the mall to return some stuff to Gap last weekend and ventured into Le Chateau...this is what came home with me: silk-like fuchsia shell - I just could not resist adding this color to my wardrobe - and it was only $10! Here I added CJ straight jeans (which fit my chunky legs like skinnies :-)), ON white denim jacket, RH platinum croc sandals and my fav red Chromia bag. This fuchsia color made me smile all day. I hope pairing this fuchsia and red is not a fashion crime because I liked it! Oh, and no gym tonight - so I look more or less presentable here

Thanks for looking! Any feedback is appreciated as usual!

1,4 and 5 are all killer Sveta! Those jeans in 5 are so so hot on you!!!! whew!
and you look darn good if this is your after gym look. I look like a drowned rat when I come home from the gym.

Ooooh! Sveta! You look amazing, gym or no gym. I absolutely adore looks 4 and 5. Fab find with that top; just what you need to make summer last. I think I need to have that turquoise jacket of yours. It makes everything look fantastic!

If this is messy, what do you look like when you leave house in the morning???

Let me recover from 4 for now...

Great looks! I especially like #1 and #5. You look great in jeans! I wish I would have nabbed some of the Paige Hidden Hills jeans at NAS. I did buy another pair of Paige jeans and returned them (more of a skinny type and I decided they weren't "me") , but I didn't see the type you have.

I like your use of color - pink, blue, yellow. Fab!

Sveta, Your style evolution is something amazing to behold...I remember your first post!

4 and 5 are Killer...you look gorgeous!

My favorites are 1, 2 and 5. I think you look great and you have good eye for color combinations. Personally, I love blue and red/coral together like in your #3!

That blue jacket is delish. Lucky you.

I just love the color combo in #3... delicious! Love all your outfits, as usual.

(And I wish I looked that good after the gym!)

Wow you look great!! My favs are #1 and #4!

Sveta, I have that shell in magenta, but now I want it in the floral, too! All the outfits are wonderful! I am paying attention to how you style your yellow raisin skirt. Can you eventually do one post with the skirt styled all the different ways? Pretty please!

love 1, 4 and 5. you have some killer jewelry too. great looks.

Wow (1), Wow (4) and Wow (5).

The blue jacket is killer. The blue jacket with the NAS skirt and animal print skirt is genius -- something I would never think of doing. I can't decide what I love most about 5 -- the jeans, the color pink on you, the white jacket against the pink, the choker necklace, or your hair and makeup. Sveta, what else is there to say? You look fab.

You look lovely, Sveta! You had a great week. That new blouse is a wonderful color, and I love the outfit you put together to showcase it. #4 is also fabulous.

Kim, thanks for the boost about jeans in #5: after a year wearing skinnies I still feel a bit conscious about them.
Suz, this jacket is not turquoise but rather sky blue color (no green in it). I have thrifted it in Goodwill last summer. There was an apple green one as well but - alas - one size too small!:-(
lyn, Le Chateau should pay you and me for advertising, no?
Ornella, #1 and 5 is how I look when there is no gym after work; #3 is after a yoga class; #2 and 4 are after 30 min on the treadmill and 30 min of weight lifting. You can really see the difference I think.:-)
devon7, have you seen those Paige bootcuts on Amazon for $67 or something? If I remember correctly you are as tall as I am - 5'10", right? These bootcuts are 35" inseam, maybe they will work for you too?
Taylor, I remember that first post too <blushing in embarrassment>.
Victoria, Nicola, Marianna, Nicole, Sona - thanks.
Debora, I have tried the solid colored shells on but this patterned one won over. Ha, now after I bought this fuchsia one in Le Chateau I am glad I did not buy a magenta one at NAS! I have created a thread for the yellow skirt and hope others will add their outfits there too:

Kyle, I like this blue jacket very much and I find this color play well with so many others - almost like a neutral! Remember that JCrew inspirational picture MarK posted for blue, yellow and animal print? I remembered I have this animal print top and decided - why not to try it. For #5 I was afraid that pink shell is to bright for me but I think it works...

I absolutely love 5, I am going to have to steal this look if it ever cools off around here. Also love all of the raisin skirt looks. Lovely week!

What a killer week you had. Le Chateau is having sales just for you Sveta! Your feet look great in those Oxfords and apparently are happy feet too

Rita, you are welcome to steal whatever you want!:-) It has been hot here to but I was wearing this skirt anyway: it was cooler in the morning when I went to work and there is AC in the office. I would not wear it outside during a day time of course but it was fine for the office.
Freckles, thanks!

Sveta your style is something to behold! I am loving everything you've been wearing lately #1 has some really clever colors going on, the blues in the jacket/jeans, the browns and cognac in the top/bag, and the pop of red in the shoes. Love it! I think the cognac bag with this is just perfect. #2 looks lovely; isn't it great to have fab items in the closet so when we feel uninspired we can still put together something so nice looking? I really like the turquoise shoes and navy shirt together. I don't think your oxfords need to worry you (#3) This outfit looks much lighter and summery-er with these almost-nude oxfords than it would with a darker shoe. Still love this coral blouse and am always happy to see it come out to play. #4 and #5 are both just amazing looking. The colors, prints, and textures in #4 are so so fab; what a fun take on the JCrew look! #5 is my absolute favorite: the fuchsia+red combo is SUPER, and the white jacket is such a crisp topper. And your hair and make up in #5! Your look is so soft, but confident and bold. Amazing.

As usual your style blows me away, Sveta. My favorite is #4. That little blue jacket is a great piece. You are doing fabulous things with the yellow skirt.
I second Debora's request that you put all your yellow raisen skirt outfits together in a post. You have done such inspirational outfits with that skirt.

Aida, I was anticipating your "reverse engineering" of my outfits with a bated breath: I always do. Thank you. Maybe I should ask you to define my style because I have no idea what it is and you are so good with these things.

Aida

*giggle* I'm glad you enjoy my comments Sveta, I enjoy sharing with you all the great things I see in your fab outfits

I LOVE 4 & 5. Is the lipstick in #5 your normal shade? It looks fabulous on you. I hardly ever wear lipstick because I drink coffee all morning :-).

Debbie

Veteran

Love,love #5. If I looked that way after the gym I would go twice a day!

Deborah

Veteran

Sveta, you look fantastic. Love all your outfits. Personally I think the red and fuchsia together looks good. Everything looks 'effortlessly' put together. Even your more relaxed looks speak style to me.

The blue jacket in #1 is so lovely on you. The combination of #4 is MaryK worthy if I may say and #5 is a great running around outfit.

You look great

Nadya, I ventured into bright red lipstick this spring - I have never worn that bright lipstick before. I also drink a lot of water and tea during a day in the office so I have to reapply it from time to time.
Debbie, #5 was not after a gym
Deborah, thanks!

yellowgirl

Sveta, I love all of it - especially #4 & 5! That pink color is fabulous on you!

Sveta, I always get sidetracked by your beautiful face and hair, but yeah, the outfits are great too! I love the way you've put colors together in 1, 4, and 5.

Another fab week! I love how you are layering and accessorizing despite the heat of the summer! My faves are 1 and 5--I especially love that hot pink top with the white jacket and bright red bag! And your toes appear to coordinate as well :). So summery!
