3 WIWs: Dress/Skinnies, THE Formula, Vertical+Horizontal Stripes

Good Friday!

1. Today I jumped on the dress over skinnies bandwagon. I have worn this DKNY dress like this before but not in a while and i really like it this way. This is the longest standing item in my closet! My sister gave it to me in 1998. Paired with my new white leather jacket, a vintage polka dot scarf (inspired by Ingunn) And my new oxfords. Happiness factor is super high.

2-3. I wore this Tuesday. i love the top half but after seeing this pics am not happy with how these pants fit or the PPL I really liked taking the white tux shirt and dressing it down with the faded denim.

4.-6. I wore this yesterday and it felt really fun and just a bit out of my confortzone. This shirt is sometimes challenging to style but i really felt fresh in the contrasting stripes. I felt like the rest of the outfit had enough going on that the bootcuts were a familiar friend. I made the necklace for myself last summer and finally found my white watch again (has been lost in a box since moving in Aug!)

As always your feedback (especially on learning more about proportions) and favorites are appreciated!

I love your first look and the one with the sweater. They both look great on you. I love the idea of your second outfit, but I agree, something just isn't gelling.

I love how you echo the white in the first outfit--scarf, shoes, jacket. The third outfit makes me smile. As for the second, I am finding wider leg pants harder and harder to wear. Especially with flats, my preferred shoe.

LOVE #1. So terrific with the echo of light colours. And that jacket is great on you. I also really like the sweater outfit -- very soft and pretty colours on you. And I LOVE the watch!

I agree - love #1 - what cool oxfords!

We're shoe twins! Aren't they super comfortable?

Sara /Linda, must have that shoe. What's the brand please?

Thanks ladies! I feel I am having more "hits" and less "misses" lately. I am also very comfortable wearing the leather jackets instead of sweaters inside to stay warm! Would not have considered that an option preYLF.

The shoes are Cole Haan Alisa oxfords. And yes, Linda, they are soooo comfortable. I did size up 1/2 size because my feet are to the wide side of normal.

I really love the jacket in #1 and the pink pattern mixing. Very nice.

The stripe mixing in 4/5 is fun! I'm not an oxford gal but those shoes are pretty awesome.

Sarah: #1 is stunning, #3 is supercute. As for #2, it looks like the waist is lower and the fabric is stiffer than a lot of wide legs. I think a more classic wide leg (or a dressier one) might work here. Love the top half.

And your oxfords are elevating every outfit you pair them with.

Day Vies & pil thanks for vote of confidence on the pink stripes

@ Beth Ann - i think you are onto it for the black and blue outfit. I have a dressier black pant (needs hemming but...) that drapes better. Will try it and report.
