Bijou, it's not quite the breezy summer piece it looks, I don't think. It's actually fully-lined and quite substantial. It'll be perfect for chilly outdoor dining or mornings up on the roof. Or as a topper for AC.
rachylou, nemosmom, and slim cat, thank you! There's so much satisfaction in finding something that just feels immediately right.
shevia, for sure. I was actually wearing that second outfit when I had that thought. It seems like a no-brainer, FFBO formula, but I never feel quite myself in it. If I'm doing print, I think I prefer having it in something full-length like a dress or duster.
Suz, that's a skirt that doesn't get pulled out all that often, because it's A LOT, but it's super fun to wear occasionally.
Synne, would you believe my hair wasn't really curly before pregnancy? When I was in my teens and twenties, it just sort of had a barely-perceptible wave.
Sal, we seem to be on the same wavelength with the statement blouses. I think I have three (maybe?) in my closet right now, but they're definitely not part of my everyday formulas.
RobinF, I'm not super-big on statement bottoms, either, tbh. Somehow, my relationship with pattern has become "go big or go home" and I'm gravitating towards long coats and dresses.
Fashintern, that's a really valuable insight!
ChristeIJ, bring on the drama! This is my inner Leo coming out.
UmmLila, I think of my wardrobe as very black-heavy and am always surprised when I look through past WIW photos and find there's actually quite a bit of color there.
Christina, isn't that funny? It's a lot easier to wear a lightweight topper when you never have to worry about layering under OR over it. We may be opposites on the statement top thing, but I love a good printed dress, so we have that in common!
LaPed, that bright Dutch orange is really hard to wear. You do well in rust, though!
