Give me all of the reptiles .wiw 9.6.19

Perfect Prairie fall day: 21C, sunny and clear with a nice breeze. I found - practically ran to it - this jacket at Anthro a couple of weeks ago and finally got to wear it today. (I can't even begin to describe the level of excitement I have for this jacket - I think the sales guy thought I was a little weird - you know how you spot something and know even before you touch it that it will be yours and that it's exactly perfect for you? ) I wasn't sure how I was going to style it but needed to have a certain degree of polish today in terms of a top to counter the distressed and cuffed jeans. (this was a work day) . Comfy stretch denim jeans, the softest and most comfortable boots I've ever owned (yes, extremely impractical being cream nubuck and I can't wear them with dark denim , but, whatever ) , and my accessories on heavy repeat right now: these artisan-made earrings and my new grey RM bag. Also - fall nails

Shout-out to Kelly for inspiring this boot purchase I bought them a couple of months ago, wanting to replicate Kelly's summer knit dress/boots formula, which looks SO cool on her. The two dresses I ordered along with the boots were both epic fails (quality and sizing - both Nordstrom house brands) and even though I was wary about light coloured boots, I decided to throw caution and common sense to the wind and keep them. Now I can' t take them off. They have the same effect as white booties, but are softer (colour and texture) , which suits me better. I'll be keeping this brand on my radar, that's for sure.

jacket- BlankNYC/Anthro
jeans - Jag Carter Girlfriend in gray
layered cami - Melanie Lyne
boots - Caslon
earrings - Bambu (Saskatoon designer)
bag - Rebecca Minkoff
makeup - Maskcara (which my daughter is mocking me relentlessly for - "one of those MLM scam brands" , but it's the BEST makeup ! I can't say enough good things about this line and am now officially obsessed.

All thoughts for styling the coat, boots, etc, are more than welcome !

I love the jacket on you. Looks better, especially with your coloring/hair than the Anthro stock pics. I can see why it spoke (shouted?) to you.

YOU ARE WEARING CREAM BOOTS.

TOLD YOU

Once you break through the white shoe barrier - you can't take them off.

Sorry. Something went wonky with my comments?

I know, right??

I LOVE the new Anthro topper with the colours running through your hair. Very flattering. KILLER look. And the white boots make the outfit - to my eye. Can't help it. Sugar eye

They aren't white, don't get too excited

I'll argue that. They are a shade of white. You can't tone down my excitement!

Windchime

What a fab jacket; no wonder you fell in love with it. It looks like it was made for you, and you’ve put together a fabulous outfit with it! I love everything about it—boots, nails, accessories—everything.

Jenn

That jacket is sooooo good on you. Wear it all the time.

Helena

This looks awesome Lisa - creative, a bit edgy, great jewellery, fab nails ... everything I associate with you and your style. Loving all the reptile prints this season - they feel really different, not something I remember ever being so dominant of the fashion scene before.

Bonnie

You look terrific in your new jacket.

Brooklyn

Great jacket and great look for Autumn.

I too got some light coloured boots (a kind of stone/beige colour) that I hope will sub in for trendy white this Spring. I think they add contrast like white boots but it’s a more muted look, which appeals to me.

rachylou

These are totally your colours. Fabness!

kellygirl

SOOO gorgeous! Love everything head to toe. The boots are delish and that topper is divine. Your attention to detail is inspiring, Lisa!

Mirjana

OMG, gorgeous outfit, jacket is so beautiful and boots too, every item is great, you look sensational.

Cardiff girl

You let your husband cut your hair!That is trust or I don’t know what is.Love your new jacket,very on trend for autumn 19 and more importantly looks fab on you.

Style Fan

Fabulous look! I love the nails. I need to take a closer look at Jag Jeans. The reptile print does look great with your hair.

Bijou

LOL at Angie's enthusiasm for your cream boots - which look spectacular on you. What a great topper, such a statement piece and you look beautiful. Make-up, hair, nails, all perfect!

There is no way I would let DH get anywhere near my head with a razor.

kkards

OMG LOVE! this is what it looks like when you own the trends instead of them owning you!
(and the nails....wow!)

gryffin

Wow Lisa you’ve so got your groove back!! This is perfect. The classic “simple isn’t easy!” Why because the lines and proportions and color are amazing. But elegant and unfussy. Best jacket ever. Angie said it perfect when your hair and coloring. From the fit of the tee to the cuff on the jeans to the booties and sliver of ankle so perfect. It looks like you were styled by the best stylist ever - which you are!! Well done and I hope you had an amazing day in this outfit!!

Preppy Pear

So great to see you excited about your new boots and jacket - you should be! I love the cream boots. As always, I love your neutral, gorgeous color palettes. You nail (unintentional but appropriate pun!) the juxtaposition between the casual jeans and more polished jacket.

Janet

It’s great to hear your excitement for this look and these pieces — especially since you seemed discouraged by your closet recently! It’s clear you have found a winning look here!

Chris987

...ditto, ditto, ditto, ditto...and your styling is much better than the stock photo! I'm going to have to give Caslon shoes another look..

Katerina

This is soo great! I am nodding along with kkards!

JAileen

I love the outfit, and especially the jacket. I’ve been on a snake kick for awhile. OMG- I just read you let your husband trim your hair! He did a good job. Although I cut my husband’s hair, I would never let him cut mine.

Momo

Gorgeous! Killer look and that jacket! Love the earrings too .

Christina F.

Gorgeous look! That snake jacket is a real outfit maker.

Susie

That jacket may as well have had a flashing neon sign that said “for Lisa!” It looks so fab on you; the whole outfit is a winner.

catherine

Wow! You look amazing in the jacket, jeans, everything. Clearly you’ve emerged from whatever temporary style problems you were describing. You look FAB.
