WIW (ETA-What I actually wore)

I suppose this is more of a what I WILL wear. I have the hardest time getting photos of myself, so I had my husband take them tonight for what I plan to wear tomorrow. I just ordered 5 tops from CAbi and four of them came today! I am so happy. I've been having so much trouble with my wardrobe lately. I have gained enough weight in recent months that half of my things don't fit and the ones that do, don't have things that work to wear with them. These new tops should do the trick to help make my other clothes wearable... at least I hope so! You guys can help me be the judge. I am also particularly happy with my new Nine West shoes. I have been pining after the Okalas for a long time, but I found these for less money and they are very similar - the heel are just higher by about an inch. They are quite comfortable and I LOVE them! I have included a photo of the shape of the top (sorry it is rumpled - it just arrived. I am obviously on team wear!). Do you think the length of the pants is ok? They are longer, so I can roll to any length... Thanks so much for any input. Your last comments on my linen pants were so helpful. I'm still working on those... very tricky!

ETA: I will try to post updated pics tomorrow because the consensus seems to be to try the pants longer. I may also try a looser white under layer... Thanks for the great feedback!

ETA: I ended up wearing a longer white linen tank (also CAbi) for more rear view coverage, and a more muted gold watch, and I took the collective advice and lowered the cuff on the ponte leggings. What do you think? Which under layer is better? Are the leggings better longer?

Wow I love that blouse. So soft and pretty on you!

Aida

This looks great! Very pretty shades in that top with your coloring. I adore your glasses. I think you could even let the pants down a bit so that the roll is just above the ankle strap with an extra sliver of skin between them.

Thanks, Aida, I will experiment with that!

I agree with Aida on the pant length. Love the glasses and the shoes!

I love the colours & textures of this, so complimentary on you! I'm no good with trouser length, so I'll leave that to the experts, but you look fabulous.

abc

I like this a lot but I thought to myself gawd she has fab hair!!!!

Jaime

Love the new blouse on you! I would try the pants longer as Aida suggests.

MsLuna

Lately, I've been coveting dreamy floaty items like this blouse, and my it looks fab on you. The colours compliment your features very well! I really like the drapey ness and relaxed vibe! And I love that you layered the blouse over a longer top!

Thanks for the sweet comments everyone, and for the good suggestion on the pants length. I will try to post updated pics tomorrow.

Isabel

OMG ! You are just so stunning. I do agree with the other ladies, but you already know that . ; )

Deborah

Gorgeous! Love the top and the whole outfit is fab. Agree with Aida re length of the pants:)

rabbit

Those shoes are great on you and I LOVE the blouse.

Fab - the top is perfect

Thank you all so much for the compliments and for the honest input! I took your advice on the leggings and I do think it is better. I tweaked some other things too....

Windchime

Such a lovely shirt on you! It's soft and dreamy and gorgeous with your eyes.

(I, too, am dependent on DH to take outfit photos, which is one big reason I don't post more of them.)

pil

Beautiful, Sarah! I love your glasses too.

Transcona Shannon

Your final outfit looks absolutely gorgeous Sarah

Kimberley

Very cool outfit Sarah. You had me with those killer shoes and kick-butt hair!

Helena

Really beautiful - you have a very ethereal quality about you that is enhanced greatly by this outfit ... lovely.

Elizabeth P

Oh, lovely! That top is awesome, I'm also coveting floaty things, but don't really own any. I guess the key is fitted bottoms.

I hope you got pics of what you DID wear, love to see that too!

WOW. Killer gorgeous. I love your specs.

I like both lengths of pants. xo

I'm with Angie. I like both lengths too. And you do have fab hair! YLF.

Thank you all so much! I have felt really good in this today...

Elizabeth, sorry I wasn't clearer in my description... What I wore today was pic #3

Angie: I'm so glad you like both pant lengths. I was trying the short version for you...

Now seeing both lengths together, I like them both. Stunning and stunning !

Parsley

I do like the longer length better, and that floaty top is really pretty on you!
I think a long tank to match your pants (are they navy?) would look super because it would showcase the top without distracting horizontal lines.
Love those shoes! That style is so flattering and versatile, and the light color is perfect on you.

CocoLion

I prefer the first rendition as the gray top looks like a mini skirt which is interesting, a layered looking outfit. However the second version works beautifully too! The top was an excellent choice, fits you perfectly.

Echo

I like the slightly longer length better, and I didn't even realize until CocoLion pointed it out that there was NOT a mini skirt or leggings/skirt combo in #1. I like both looks, but the shoes are excellent and the specs are absolutely fabulous. I really, really love the glasses!

jackiec

You look so beautiful. I like it all - but especially love those perfect nude shoes. Wow.

Parsley, I think you have hit on the one thing that is my least favorite about it. The pants are black, but I do have a long navy tank on the way that would do what you are talking about! I think pic #1 is a little more flattering because of the darker shell. Thanks so much for the input!
