My favorite neutral outfit right now

April

Veteran

I'm the worst selfie taker ever, but this is an outfit I am enjoying right now.

Black dress with brown and cream accents from J Jill (leave no retail stone...)
Cream and black cross-body from Cole Haan
Cream and black Puma boots (in the sneaker sense of "boots")
Brown leather jacket from Marc New York
"tight tight tight" graphic tote gift from DS (waving to Breaking Bad fans)

Wow, this is fantastic. Those sneaker boots are beyond fun! The white bag and the detail on the back of the dress are so sharp. You look ultra cool and fashionable. Didn't see Breaking Bad so missing that reference, but am very much enjoying this whole vibe.

You look cute and co-ordinated. I love your Cole Haan bag. Does your JJill dress grow larger as you wear it? That has been my experience with the brand, so I am sized out.

Wow, great outfit! I love the white sneakers and the white detail on the back of the dress.

What a terrific, graphic outfit. Your boots look like what boxers wear. Really great!

Joy -- I haven't had that experience, but this is my only J Jill dress.

Thank you all for your sweet feedback! Feel free to also suggest tweaks here.

The back of the dress is so fun and unexpected!

Talk to me about those Puma sneaks, please.

I love this color combo...I’m loving the dress from the back too !

Angie -- I've had the Pumas for a few years now. I think I got them after AnnaGybe mentioned that she commutes in Pumas. They're tricky to get on and off (no zippers, pukka high tops), which is why I wear them with tights -- makes them slide on easier.

Tres comfortable on my horrid feet.

What a great outfit! I love the black and white accents. That bag is fab. Is it older or new? I desperately want a similar bag.

Such a great outfit! The detail in the back of the dress is unexpected and makes the outfit even better! I love your handbag.

Very cool! You're only the second person I've seen wearing boxer boots and I love them. Bravo!

Suz -- the crossbody bag? It's older. I think I got it on Neiman Marcus Last Call a few years back.

Generally I carry satchels but in summer when my arms are covered in sunscreen, I switch to cross-bodies.

I love the boots too! Are they what we used to call wrestling boots? Remember how David Letterman used to wear them with his suits?

They do look like the boots that my high school wrestling team would wear, and like the ones worn by boxers as well.

So glad I didn't purge them because after having them for a few years, I'm finally wearing them quite a bit. (I purge my closet too quickly rather than too slowly.)
