Today is quite rainy but also quite warm, so I opted for shorts and a loose and sheer, but covered up blouse. Chose my grey oxfords to keep my toes from getting wet. Nothing too special, but it feels comfy and is quick drying!
I'm also attaching some photos I took last night of the Spiegel jacket in case anyone wants to see how it fits a short waisted pear. (I lightened the photos so you could see detail, hence they are a little grainy and washed out.) I like that it looks a bit oversized from the front but tailored from the back (I admit I don't like the look of true oversized jackets from the back.) It is cut narrower in the back (as some people noticed, the back/shoulder measurement is actually quite small) and I think that helps keep it from being too boxy. I was worried that the lapels would be too big and overwhelming but I think they are actually a really good size! It doesn't really work too well closed on me, as I think the snap is in the wrong place on me (too low since I'm so short waisted); however, I usually wear my jackets open so I don't mind. I did try holding it closed higher up and that looked good, so I may consider putting a second snap in at the low bust level. Anyway, I am definitely keeping!
Outfit details: H&M shirt, Gap tank, Uniqlo shorts, Kenneth Cole belt, Born oxfords.
