A take on classic tomboy

Synne

It's December, and I am following my goal of multiple wiws on YLF this year. Sorry for being a forum spammer, but thanks for feedback

Outfit #1, very casual classic for me. Maybe a tad boring? I need some quirk or glam, that I have learned.

Outfit #2. This may be a total flop. But I had fun putting this ensamble together. Yes, that is my wool maternity sweatpants and double up on thrift blazers. I tried adding a little 80's retro fun with the pearls and scrunchie. My shoulders are sharrrrp with the double shoulder padding.

LoVe outfit #2! Your thrifted jacket is so sharp, and I would never have known those were your maternity sweatpants. The Vans are the perfect finishing touch.

Nothing wrong with that first outfit. Comfortable classic. I agree that a bit of bling, something to catch the eye, would up the style quotient. An interesting piece of jewelry, a necklace or even a cuff bracelet, would do the trick. Hammered bronze, perhaps? That would be beautiful with your hair and complexion. Or perhaps a metallic shoe or bootie.

I quite like the double blazers! What about switching the buttoms on these outfits to balance out their spunkiness? Just a thought!

I like both of these outfits. I also would never have guessed that your pants in #2 were maternity. I like the simplicity of #1 but Kate's idea is a great one.

What SF said! Both are great!

Love both of these - I see your point about outfit 1 being quite simple for your style, but nothing wrong with going simple sometimes!

I really like notsaf's suggestion for remixing these outfits, too.

Both fab. But I agree #1 might benefit from an extra touch, accessory or layer. I love the oxfords.

What Style Fan said. I like both outfits very much. Light wash denim jeans with black is a classic. The navy has the same sort of contrast. You could add a blazer. The long ones look most modern. Both these outfits look current. The first with mid-rise and raw hem jeans that show off those beautiful shoes, and the second with a delightful mix of pattern and texture plus sneakers.

Love outfit 1 it isn’t boring at all, outfit 2 is very creative, I think you are the first person to make sweatpants look dressy and it works!

Like both outfits. For the #1 you can add small bag - one of those that could be attached to your belt ( sorta "funny bag" ), or small crossbody bag maybe in different color/texture.
Jewelry is always great add on - I like the idea of bracelets ( over the sleeves, in silver? ).
Your maternity sweatpants working great with current trends .

I like that blazer and the way you have co ordinated it with a more casual trouser,l would look ridiculous but on you it looks very cool and intentional.

#1 is a look right after my own heart. It's superb on you and never ever goes stale.

Also like the second one. The blazer is great!

Both outfits look great. The first one does not look boring to me; the jeans are perfect fit and very current, the patent shoes add a touch of interest and the belt is also just right. I see you are wearing earrings and I think the outfit is quite good as is. Outfit 2 is also excellent. I like the repetition of the stripe in the jacket piping and the Vans and the under layer integrates all the colors perfectly. Pearls are a great touch too!

Love the second one, and wouldn't have guessed they were maternity either! I'd like a pendant, or hat, or bold bag with the first outfit.
