Wearing my skinny slouchies to work on Friday again - have I mentioned I love these jeans? This pair is the one size up and I also have a pair that is two sizes larger than my regular size - I pick them up after work today from being hemmed just a wee bit more and will try those next week.

I've paired the jeans with a couple of older items in my wardrobe - this v-neck animal print short sleeved silk tee and a charcoal herringbone blazer complete with elbow patches. Once I got that together I thought the outfit had a bit of a menswear vibe so went with that and added an old leather belt with metal studs and large gunmetal buckle and my three tone patent oxfords. I like how the cream in the oxfords picks up the cream in the tee and lightens the outfit a bit.

Then for a ladylike juxtaposition, I added my black/red KS handbag and a strong red lip.

Not sure this photographs as well as it looked to me in the mirror but I'm really pleased with this outfit and my happiness scale is right up there.

What do you think? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome
