AJ made me do it--paper doll fashion

I love my Nic & Zoe blazer so much that I've decided to duplicate. It's the perfect fabrication for my spring and summer and is knit so it is super comfy. Most of my bottoms are denim or black. I'm having a hard time picking a blue. Do you have a preference?

What do you think about the grey leggings with this dress? White seems like it would be too stark but I'm open to picking up an inexpensive pair if the grey looks off.

TIA!

I prefer #1 & to my eye the grey leggings would look better than white but still don't seem quite right but I don't have any alternativevto suggest sorry.

I like the turquoise jacket better with blue denim, for a little color contrast. The blue jacket would look incredible with white bottoms, though! Either would look good with your complexion, so you can't go wrong there. I think the grey leggings look fine with the dress.

And I like the cobalt with the top and skirt although I know in person I would totally like the turquoise with denim. They both work - different but equal. Hurray for options!

II like the grey - white leggings always look juvenile in my eye but that's just me.

I like #1 and the grey leggings work well with the dress

Love the kitty-Kelly paper dolls!! I'm not sure about which blue, to be honest :). They both look fab, but I guess I'd probably go with the first one (the greener one) if you are going to be pairing it mostly with denim.

I'd like to add another vote for the jacket in #1. I think the gray leggings are fine with the dress, but what about dark red leggings?

Well, you already know I love the turquoise jacket, and then we could be twins! =) I like the grey leggings with the dress; I have some white leggings that I have never, ever worn because I feel like they look super weird and stark with everything I've tried them with.

I love the jacket in both colours, Kelly, but have a slight preference for the turquoise if you are planning to wear it mainly with denim. As Claire pointed out, the blue would look great with white bottoms.
I think you can wear any colour leggings with those gorgeous gams of yours! On my screen the grey leggings have a hint of blue in them, so they work with your dress, and they pick up the grey in your shoes.

Just something to throw out there - I found taupe leggings recently and they are great for when you just can't quite go with gray or black, or brown. They are sort of that perfect non color if you know what I mean. Igot Hue brand in cork color.
And aren't paper dolls fun!?
(I like #1 to contrast with the denim a bit)

So distracted by the adorable kitty face I can't think!

Jacket #1 I think, with denim, and yay for grey leggings too! (I just got two different shades of grey myself and they seem to work with most colours really)

What Jonesy said about the jacket, and I give the grey leggings thumbs up.

Im no help, I like both jackets!!! I do think the blue would look great with your hair color and skin tone I l ike the grey leggings, I think they are perfect for that lovely dress.

LOL! Kitty's face on paper dolls are too cute for words!! Oh, you are a hoot!!

I like both jacket colors. Is there one that pairs better with your dresses?

I like the grey leggings.

I laughed so hard at your paper dolls I almost p---d in my p---ts.

(The food & water bowl next to your outfits is what finally got to me.)

Still trying to recover!

I like the grey leggings with the dress and Mo's taupe suggestion. I'm not sure about white, having trouble picturing it but maybe it could work?

I prefer #1 with the outfit being modeled. Plus that color with black might work better.

#1 for me. Approve of the grey leggings. Cat head is priceless!

Thanks for helping Kitty-Kelly. I tried posting my head but couldn't get the sizing right--kitty looked much cuter! To my dismay, the teal was sold out in my size. I went ahead and ordered the royal to see if I even liked it IRL. I'll keep you posted. (Royal was initially my first choice, but I was going to go with the YLF favorite.)

Thanks for the thumbs up on the grey leggings. White just seems so stark and reminds me of the white hosiery that girls wear with Easter dresses. I'm much happier with a low contrast grey.

Thanks again for your help

Oh, boo on the teal being sold out! Keep stalking it, maybe your size will show up again! Look forward to seeing the royal on you!
