Another WIW

Synne

Another quick WIW for today's errands. Excuse the hair in pic #1. I must confess I ALMOST left the house like that, before remembering that I want to up my polish and presentation (does this make sense in English btw?). In the mirror this hairstyle looks relaxed and like a fashionable messy bun. But in pics I resemble something out of Little Britain (TV show). Not what I strive for, style wise.. Ha ha.

My jeans and shoes are crisp white, but the lighting makes them look yellowy. My sweater is from COS last year and is a navy cotton. Not sure how I feel in this combination. A bit bland, tbh. Maybe I'm lacking something edgy to make it more interesting?

Thanks for looking and any input!

I like the cut-off jeans with the high tops and think they’re plenty edgy! For the outdoors version I might add a funky scarf to add some more interest but the indoors style looks perfect to me (hair included :)).

I'm seeing a lot of similarities in the way we dress, Synne. Check out outfits posted by Bonnie, who also has a similar style. Works for an 'on the go' lifestyle (MOTG or ROTG (also known as ZOOMER)!) I think Angie calls it casual classic and Bonnie and I both have 'Tomboy' in our style moniker.

A fun scarf might be it, Liesbeth! I have plenty of scarves but often forget to wear them.. and then I complain about the cold..

Interesting, Runcarla! I think I have written earlier that I'd love to have your outfits! Yes, we do share much of the same taste! Thank you for the tips, I will def check out Bonnie and your previous WIW's more closely. Style twins! (Triplets even)

I actually like your hair up on top of your head like that,navyand white are a great colour combo on you.

Echoing Cardiff girl! How about funky earrings or a cuff bracelet, or a fun bag for edginess?

I’ll join in recommending a scarf or bracelet. Why not go for a unique way to tie a scarf while you’re at it?

Looks good to me - even the hair!

I actually really like your hair and outfit! It looks relaxed and chic. Maybe some geometric earrings or lipstick if you want to add a little something more?
Isn't it strange how the seemingly effortless messy bun takes a fair bit of effort to get right; I always struggle with it

It’s perfect. I like the simplicity but there are a lot of details that make it special, like the crop of the jeans and the dainty jewelry. I find it refreshing after feeling overstimulated by all the things coming up in retail lately.

I had the same thought about a bracelet... just one more piece of jewellery to seal the deal...

I like the necklace(s) in #1, can't tell if they're in 2 or not. I bet it/they add(s) shine and catch more light irl. Hope your snaggle-toothed photo bomber doesn't grab it!

I like this too and think you look great. Adding a statement accessory is a good idea - but toddler friendly accessories can be hard.

When my son was a similar age to your little one, I could not wear much jewellery because he would pull on it - so all interesting earrings and necklaces had to be put away and I had the hugest bags full of nappies and wipes etc, so interesting bags were not happening either. One of my favourite purchases was a statement resin bracelet by Dinosaur Designs. It actually could be given to my toddler to look at without worrying it would break and it was multicoloured, so I was able to wear it with anything and everything. The photo below is not my bracelet - but is similar and by the same designer.
