Last post: M(e)OTG - all wrong?

So it's my week off and I'm pathetically determined to cram in every bit of wardrobe that I have been missing. Is this hoodie and cropped moto just wrong?

Oh, this j. crew hoodie has a 2-way zip - SCORE!

Love the hoodie, not as sure about it with a moto jacket. I think a blazer has more juxtaposition.

I love the hoodie, and I love the cropped moto, but I can't say that I love them together.

I can understand how you'd want to have a chance to wear all your favorite things, though!

Yep, that's what I thought. Someone suggested a moto so I thought I'd try this one. Switching out for now. See what desperation can do?

I like the hoodie with the moto, but for some reason I don't like the way that set plays with everything else you have on. I think I'd like the moto/hoodie combo better with a tube skirt or something.

Good decision. Just not the best proportions. Nice pieces though.

What Thistle said.

But you don't lose points for trying things!

K. Period.

I agree with Nicole D. I feel like just a few inches shorter on the hoodie or a couple inches longer on the moto and it would be perfect. The length of the span between doesn't look right to my eye. It does have a lot of fun tension, though. I wonder if longer boots over your jeans might make it seem more harmonious?

yeah, there is something about them together that doesn't jibe. Both great on their own. Glad you get a 'you' dressing day!

Yeah, it's a proportional thing. But love the idea of a moto + hoodie.

I would try dark bottoms to match the color value of the hoodie, keep the hoodie all the way zipped, and try again with the moto on top. That might help the proportions become short over long and balance out.

I don't think the boyfriend jeans work either. I think you need skinnies.
