Back to the neutrals

christy

Hello lovely ladies! These are my outfits from two weeks ago. After several weeks with quite a bit of color (for me), I've gone back to my more standard neutrals.

1. Monday: A trouble-shooting solution with Angie for de-orphaning this skirt.
2. Tuesday: Suited up
3. Wednesday: Too much volume on volume here - I think I should have tucked the shirt. Do you think that would have worked better?
4. Thursday: Am I crazy for loving this outfit? Usually I'm not a big fan of oxfords with skirts, but I liked this combo.
5. Friday: A rare denim day at the office.
6. Saturday: A casual dinner with friends at our place.

Thanks for looking - suggestions for improvement always welcome! Outfit details below.

2. Halogen black/white suit, Foxcroft blue striped button up, Michael Kors black bag, Cole Haan heels (my feet were not made for Cole Haan - I know many people find them comfy, but they just don't work for me), Old Navy blue necklace and earrings.

Oh Christy you are so fab I can hardly stand it! Your clothes are SO modern, while still retaining a classic vibe. Your bags and shoes are incredible (sorry the Cole Haans hurt your feet). Somehow you are totally rocking the midi/maxi with oxfords! I love your casual Friday outfit the very best. They should put a poster of this in every company's break room to illustrate how to appropriately wear denim in the workplace! You show us how it's done, girl!

You look absolutely beautiful in everything! I even like the volume on volume and I love the maxi with the oxfords!! That skirt is an orphan no longer!

I love 4 and 5. In both cases your bold footwear choices are home runs. The blouse peeking out in 5 is a stellar touch. I would love to see the skirt in 4 pinned up just a tad shorter to see what that looks like in comparison, noting that when it comes to perfect lengths I am often wrong.

I also have had problems with the same skirt you are wearing in #1, and pairing it with white seems to be the trick, as shown here. Good stuff.

You are so stylish! I love how your outfits are always so professional and sophisticated yet have a touch of edginess.

Christy, your denim outfit (#5) is so fantastic I'm having trouble focusing on the others. I love the pattern mixing with neutrals; I love the fact that it's casual and yet everything fits you like a dream. Perfect casual outfit!

Wow. Once again you hit it out of the park. I'm especially drawn to the last three outfits. Those are amazing! Love the oxfords with the long skirt, ADORE your denim outfit - the fit is just divine!! and love your Loft casual basics on you, too.

Your work outfits are stellar, too, but I suppose the casual ones speak to me most because I work at home so can use those for inspiration.

It's too bad about the Cole Haans. What makes them no good for your feet?

Well. Your outfits just get better and better! KILLER week!

#4 is KILLER to the power of KILLER. I don't dish those out often. That means a 20 out of 10.

Rock on!

Wow, thanks everyone!

Suz - I don't know why the Cole Haans don't work for me. I think they are too narrow through the widest part of the foot for me. I have a pair of black suede Cole Haan booties that aren't particularly comfortable either. I do know that I won't be ordering any more.

Angie! You just made my day! I'm so glad you like #4 - it felt sassy, stylish and a bit daring (for me)!

#4 is definitely my favorite, but truthfully they are all terrific.

You are incredible! Your Friday outfit is my fave out of this stellar bunch, and I love the skirt and oxfords.
