WIW: my casual version of ink blue and white

After beautifully warm and sunny weekend our arctic Vortex is back with the vengeance: I woke up today to 3" of snow! My poor crocuses and irises all wore snowy hats today and looked quite pitiful. I really hope this is the last blast of winter.
...but it made the dressing difficult this morning. Does not matter how I wanted to wear my spring things it was too cold so skinnies and warm sweater were the way to go. However I remembered Angie's post on ink blue and white capsule and decided to wear a casual variety of it.

Ink blue boxy t-neck - Club Monaco
Cream skinnies - Banana Republic
Dove satchel - Danier
Python booties - Sam Eldeman

And of course I could not miss a chance to wear my red cape today while it is not too warm and i still can

I am afraid this outfit is nothing special but it was comfortable and felt good.

pic 1 is with semi tuck and pic 2 is untucked. This sweater has high - low hem so I feel it can be worn both ways - what do you think?

Now they promise sun and above freezing tomorrow so off I go to peruse Angie's ensemble posts and decide what to wear tomorrow!

Thanks for looking and as usual all comments and suggestions are very much appreciated!

You look incredible! I like the top both ways and the color and cut with the light skinnies are spectacular on you. Sorry about the snow though.

SarahTheWhite

Wow! I love everything about this outfit!! (My favorite is with the semi-tuck.)

Aida

Lovely, Sveta! I like both semi-tuck and untucked, as you said both work quite well with that hem. I always like seeing that pretty cape ^^ Hope your snow melts away quickly.

Gracie

I think the outfit IS special, you make it look easy to put together the perfect pieces. I prefer the semi- tuck, but then, I'm a belt girl. The booties look fab with this ensemble, I bet you looked really pretty against the snowy surroundings.

pil

You outfit looks pretty special to me - tucked,untucked and with the red cape. Great bag too! Go away snow - we had some this morning too. What the heck?

Caro in Oz

YLF in all of these. If this is nothing special then bring on special I say.

Aubergine

I like the sweater both ways, but I think the semi-tuck is my favorite because then you can see the pretty belt. And the colors make the outfit look springy to me despite the need to dress for snow!

Transcona Shannon

Perfect! This is a great interpretation of Angie's capsule that still works for your miserable weather.

Joy

This is a fabulous outfit and you look gorgeous. It really showcases your pretty cape. I like the semi-tuck best.
Sending sympathetic thoughts for warmer weather. A pale aqua cashmere pullover followed me home today simply because it looked like spring but felt warm. Seeing your outfit, I wish it were navy.

Catnip

What a gorgeous outfit! The blue and white combo looks really good on you, and I love the red cape. It may be a warm outfit, but navy and white always makes me think of spring.

Debbie

You are on a roll. Everything I've seen is perfection. This is no exception.

rachylou

Just fantastic. You make me want a light grey bag, when I don't know what I'd do with one

Neel

Your *nothing special* outfits are quite special! How can a red cape not be special? Sending you some sunshine! We are peaking 35C here! And we have 5 more months of scorching summer to get through

CocoLion

Brilliant!

MsMaven

Perfecto--nothing like well-fitting white bottoms and a navy top. Classic but very classy as you have styled it.

Beth Ann

Graphic, bright and cozy! I love the easy fit of the trousers. It's so hard for me to find this fit --- not sloppy, but relaxed. The red topper adds a bit of energy --- if you have to wear a coat, might as well make it count!

Golden

Bummer about the snow on your crocuses but you look great!

Ingunn

I think this is brilliant. The classic nautical colors bring a spring vibe while the pieces are warm and comfortable. I love the half tuck and the texture of your accessories.

lyn67

Plonk! "NOTHING SPECIAL"???? OMG, this is a stellar outfit!!!! Navy white and red is so summery/nautical to me, but you certainly managed to make it working brilliant for your winter's agony! K2K!:-)
Oh, and the grey doc's bag is the best coordinated to this outfit and weather conditions! So, all superbly done!

Deborah

I beg to differ. Fabulous outfit. Certainly something special. Love the neutrals and the cape is so cool looking. Very elegant, classic yet modern. Fabulous!

Karie

You look fantastic in this outfit, and it looks good both ways, semi tucked or not tucked at all, although I do prefer the semi tuck. I have a similar navy sweater (from Zara, same as Angie's), and you are inspiring me to wear it with my white jeans before the warm weather comes back.

I feel like I'm in the Bizarro World with this wacky weather! 2" of snow here, and super cold

Debra

You look lovely, fantastic outfits

viva

Beautiful, Sveta.

Lantana

Dazzling and inspirational. Such crisp simplicity.

Elizabeth P

You look wonderful Sveta! I like the sweater both tucked and untucked.

Sympathies for the snow...

Lisa

A perfect outfit for a cold spring day. I also woke up to snow today (just a dusting though) and I was not happy about it. And I did the same thing with my outfit, white jeans and booties, so at least the bottom half of my outfit feels like spring today.

Angie

A truly killer stunning outfit. xo

amiable

Gorgeous!

Sveta

Thanks for the comments and especially the sympathy on the weather. This is just crazy, we had -7C this mornig and they forecast 20C+ in a few days. How one can adjust I ask you?!
Of course the combination of ink and white is delicious but we already knew it from Angie's great post so it made it really easy for me to dress that morning
I am glad you like my interpretation and thanks for validating that both semi tuck and untuck work with this sweater.
Rachy, you may never find out what to do wit a grey bag until you get one

Neel, 35C already? No thanks, this is too much for me in April. Can we get something perfect like +24C with a light breeze?

BethAnn, jeans and pants are not easy to fit for those of us with curves on the bottom but I have a suspicion KUTs may work for you. Have you tried them?

Lisa, high five!

Karie, let's see it please!

Angie, I hoped I did not embarrass you with this interpretation of your post
