Dress and skinny jeans

Mirjana

Veteran

As I saw and also Angie said that the tunics are too long, even longer than dresses, I tried my dress with skinny jeans just for fun. It is not something I wear normally, this is only my attempt to wear more this dress. I really don’t know does it work or not for me, but I tried something new.
Please, you honest opinion. Also, if maybe works, how about topper, I thought something structured, and decided blazer, any suggestion are welcome.

Dress, white skinny jeans, teal patent pumps, white bag and ivory necklace (#1) and with the blazers, white and dark blue (#2and #3). Are they OK and if it is which one is better?

I appreciate your comments and suggestions.

I love #1 on you. Beautiful dress!

#2 is also good, though it might work a bit better with a shorter, boxier jacket if you had such a thing. I find the darker jacket too heavy with the outfit overall (but it is a beautiful jacket and looks lovely on you in another context!).

Agreeing with Suz. Love the proportions of 1. I think the low contrast jacket in 2 works too. You look great!

#1 is KILLER on you. Wait till you see next week's post.

Thanks Suz and Kellygirl for you comments.
Suz I tried with shorter jacket in my closet and that is pattern mixed maybe to much.
Thank you very much Angie for Killer, I am happy that dress and jeans work, I will wait for improvement next week.

They are more than OK. You can absolutely wear your dress with your skinny jeans! My favourite is #2 - gorgeous!

I really love #1...so elegant! And I agree with the others that the white jacket works best. Pretty!

I like your dress over skinnies. With regard to the toppers, I'm almost wishing to see how more volume looks--like a long, white, floaty scarf or gauzy gilet.

Aida

Super! #1 is gorgeous looking, and I do prefer the white jacket if you need a topper. A cropped jacket to really highlight the different lengths could be fun, too.

Sal

I agree with everyone else, 1 and 2 work very well!!

Mirjana, you are so great at interpreting Angie's trends and making them work for you.

Eliza

Number one is my favorite, followed by number 2. I would like either with light shoes, too. Beautiful, fresh look and you wear it beautifully.

#1 and #2 -- love!

Thank you very much The Cat, Kerlyn, Emily K, Aida, Sal, Eliza and Jill58 for you comments, compliments and suggestions.All of you like dress and skinny so I can wear them no doubt. I agree that the white jacket is longer but at the moment I didn't find something more appropriate in my closet , maybe I'll get a better idea later.

Adela

This looks wonderful on you, skinnies and a dress! I prefer a white topper in this context, as well. A great, light and contemporary look.

I adore this look! The dress is so beautiful and white pants and bag great with it. I like the white blazer not so much the dark.

Brooklyn

Veteran

I love no 1! The light jacket is best. Do you have a shortish denim jacket you could try with the dress? It would pick out the blues of the dress nicely.

Mirjana

Veteran

Thank you kindly Adela, Janni NZ and Brooklyn, I agree definitely with white jacket .
Brooklyn I tried first with denim jacket but it does not work, maybe it isn't short enough or maybe the color.

I like nr 2 as the white jacket make it even more intentional. Also, I personally would prefer this look without the beads-as kind of adding a layer under it on the bottom- looks better if nothing else distracts, but who am I to say, that's just me....:-).

RobinF

Very nice! I actually like the black when you are wearing black shoes and like the length of it. Love #1!

Runcarla

Veteran

Yes! #1 and #2 are fab and the colours so fresh. Great outfit.

Mirjana

Veteran

Thank you very much Lyn 67, Robin F and Runcarla for you opinions and suggestions.
Robin F, interesting you like dark navy jacket, yes, I put it exactly as you said with the teal pumps and for me the length is OK, but it is really little dark and maybe heavy.

Aquamarine

Veteran

Ooo the first one is fab! I love your style and willingness to try new silhouettes, Mirjana. You are very inspirational!

Sara L.

Veteran

I love it! I think the dress with jeans looks great on you. I like the white jacket better than the dark one, but I think it needs to be shorter.

Lisa

Veteran

I absolutely think the dress works layered with the white jeans here. Nice job! I prefer the dress without the blazers, the structure of the blazers is contrasting with the soft flowy vibe of the dress.

Mirjana

Veteran

Aquamarine, Sara L. and Lisa thank you for the kind comments and suggestions.

JAileen

#1 looks really great. #2 is okay, but I prefer it without the jacket as Lisa suggested. It's a really pretty dress. Or is it a tunic?

Dianna

Veteran

Number 1 is my favorite too, followed by number two. I think this outfit would have also worked well with your amazing silver oxfords.

What Suz and others have said. Also would try lighter shoes, but the outfit is super!

Mirjana

Veteran

Thanks JAileen , yes, it is dress .
Thanks Dianna you know my favorite shoes, silver oxfords, I'll try.
Thank you Shevia for you suggestion, I agree, but not have heel lighter shoes and as I am petite flats could be shorten me, I will try.
