I absolutely adored Suz's outfit yesterday (http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....f-for-elly) and knew I wanted to use it for my inspiration for Casual Friday, incorporating the Christmas present I received from my son.
He gave me this beautiful incredibly soft hi-low sweater in navy blue with silver lurex "sparkles" running throughout it. I love how this sweater feels on and just goes to show that not all acrylic blends are the same. This one has a very luxurious feel to it.
Based on Suz's outfit from yesterday, I've paired the sweater with my slouchy skinnies (the smaller of the two pair I have) and my Doc Marcie boots. Normally these jeans would not be cuffed at the bottom but I found the hem of these did not sit well on the Marcie's and in fact the boots pushed the legs of of the jeans up to the point where they were too baggy. I hope the cuff doesn't look ridiculous.
I've added a metal and crystal cuff and my olive/cobalt clutch for accessories, and my belt is a simple black leather with gunmetal buckle.
Happiness factor in this outfit? Off the charts!
What do you think? Does it work? proportions and fit ok? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome. Thanks for the inspiration Suz and thank you for the lovely gift iain!
