Angie's challenge - WIW Day 2

Yay, I finally got a mirror set up that might have enough light to work for WIW's. Sorry for the mess, my daughter's room is now our holding zone for items we are purging.

I am a CPA and work at a manufacturing facility - all men who really don't care how I dress so it is just for me. Hence pretty casual with jeans on Friday. That is fine with me because I much prefer casual looks. I live in Michigan - cold and snowy right now. Great challenge to get me out of my rut and think about what my style actually is and what I want it to be.

Monday's outfit, animal print pants with black top, off-white cardi and caramel suede booties. Why it is me - I love neutrals but with some interest so the pants give me that. Flat booties are very comfy and a staple of my wardrobe. And I am a cardi girl - I wear jackets but am most comfortable in cardigans. The sleeves are a little long on this sweater but it is a petite and I think they are meant to be longer than average.

Tuesday's outfit, tan jeans that I cheat and wear as non-jean pants, pink ruffle top, stone-colored moto and gold metallic mules. Again, mostly neutral which I like, I enjoy the way the moto un-pretties the ruffle top and the mules are a favorite of mine (sorry they aren't very visible in the photo).

Thanks for any comments, advice, etc.

Your outfit makes me happy - great pants. You have worked the neutrals and proportions expertly. It all looks great with your hair, too.

Robin, yay! So great to SEE you. I LOVE the pants. They look great with the booties and definitely give interest. I can see why this feels "you."

Hi, Robin! I love your outfit; the pants are super cute and fun. I also like cardigans a lot and like your choice of long cardigan with this outfit. It’s a great outfit for cold, windy Michigan weather.

I like your long cardigan. I find those hard to style and yours looks good with the patterned pants.

Helena

What a smashing outfit, Robin! I love the cream and caramel colour palette with the animal print - delicious. The long cardigan and the fun trousers are great. You look fab!

GREAT to see you post an outfit, Robin F.

You look casually fab, and had me with the patterned pants. The cardi sleeves looks luxurious that length - all good. Your tan Naturalizers would look good here too. You nailed your YOU outfit. Nicely done.

Bonnie

I love neutrals, too. The pattern pants really add a fun touch to your lovely outfit.

Neutral outfit but far from boring, lot of nice details. You look great!

So nice to see you! I adore those pants and boots. Fun and comfy get me every time. And I'm starting to come around to the long cardi camp - but petite sizing is indeed key!

I like the patterned pants. It's hard to find just the right animal print, and I like this one on you. The colors and scale of pattern look terrific. I like the soft, textured long cardi--it adds a cozy, soothing feel.

Jaime

I like the long cardigan with the leopard pants and the tan boots - great look!

Comfy in style, Robin

Thanks all for the wonderful compliments - I have never been good at accepting compliments but it is nice to hear.

Tuesday added to my original post.

I really like the moto on you. And aren't you clever to find a way to "cheat" with the jeans!

That pink ruffled blouse is such a pretty contrast to the harder edged Moto.

NICE CHEAT.

Robin F, I love you in tans and pinks. You look FABULOUS, and it's my favourite outfit on you yet. Pretty Tough.

What Angie said - great colors and shapes for you, and the moto adds the perfect edge.

Tuesday outfit is sooo great! I love the different light neutrals together and there are plenty of interesting details and contrasts - ruffles, moto, metallic footwear - Super! You look fabulous!
