Wow -- this is a great example of how the accessories make an outfit. You look casual and terrific! (and yes, funky and eclectic as well)

Thanks April! It's probably not one of my better looks (I know I should wear heels with the jeans rolled up like that), but that's what came out of my closet as I was getting ready to take the kids to school

This makes me think I need to budget more for accessories, now that I am building up a good basic wardrobe.

I ADORE the necklace, bracelet and gladiators! They are FABULOUS. I even think the jeans are fine at that length. Just, because they are tapered!

But I’d have loved to see a longer T-shirt (a few inches above crotch point).Think you can swap out the T so that I can give you a killer rating?

You know what, I love your style with your boyfriend jeans and t shirt, with GREAT jewelry and killer shoes.

Oh, thanks Angie and San! I was looking at my photo and thinking something was off. I bet it is the t-shirt length, Angie -- I'll swap it out and take a new photo, see how that goes!

Ooooh, excellent version of the challenge -- you definitely met and accomplished your style! Love the casual funk of it; this is a style I often wish I could emulate, but it never looks right on me. It sure does on you!!!

agree with angie on top length, but i'm loving the combination of boyfriend jeans and gladiators - sooo on-trend right now, too! i just tried a sort of boyfriend/j.crew style rolling-up-the-pants outfit recently as well, but i'm not at all sure i pulled it off as successfully as you did

Lets see the new picture! You are going to nail this one. Can feel it in my bones.

Thanks Kristen and Hanna! Hanna -- I saw your look on your blog. It's very cute! I love the pink cardi. My main comment is that the rolled up part looks a little bulky, so perhaps you can try a different pair of jeans.

Take two with another gray t-shirt, but this one is really long so it's scrunched up at the bottom:
