adding edge to an hourglass

Queen Mum

About a week ago, I started this conversation about adding edge to my wardrobe while working around my persnickety figure.

I finally got around to getting a picture that we can work with
This is what I am wearing today to do stuff around the house and run a couple of errands. I feel comfortable and put together in this, but would really like to venture into a bit more edge as I add to my fall and winter wardrobe.
(Excuse the fact that I am wearing white shorts at the end of September-- I haven't recovered from our 100 degree weekend yet)

So, how would you add edge to my style here?

This is a great little outfit, queenie. Mainstream and modern classic.

First of all, the walk shorts are preppy – they are great, don’t get me wrong! But clams are edgier. Also, wrap tops like that and worn in this way are not edgy. But if you popped that same wrap top over a button down, added straight legs jeans and oxfords, you’d look edgier. It's never only about the piece that stands alone – but HOW you wear it.

I read this post and the previous thread and could not agree more! I always feel backed into a hole in this way. My inner fashionista is a tall, thin angular woman and in reality I am 5'5 and a size 8/ 10. I simply look best in things that have structure and shape but as a SAHM also do not always want to wear prim and proper clothing.

I really think the artist Beyonce does a great job of pushing her hourglass shape into more edgy style. Granted, I cannot wear platform heels and skinnies all day but I think she has some inspiration for attire ideas. What do you think?

hmm, well I don't even OWN a button down shirt, Angie. I always feel sloppy in them, so quit buying them. I'll have to give that look a try in the dressing rooms. Thanks for the ideas.
agrace- I'll have to check out Beyonce's look and see what I can steal from her.
