Here are a couple looks from last week, and a few looks from my husband for cyan and her boyfriend.
I'm trying to fine tune my wardrobe (I have aquired a lot of clothes lately, and just don't have the room for them, nor do I even wear them all). How do these outfits rank?
Thanks!

What a well-turned out couple you are, Sarah! You both look great!

I love, love, love the first outfit. I've noticed a few people linking to fossil clothes. I haven't seen any IRL. What do you think of quality, etc? And where did you find it?

I also like the blue banded top.

I'm unsure about the black with white pants. The black tunic has a lot of fullness, which seems a bit off to me. I look forward to others thoughts. I wonder if my "eye" just hasn't adjusted to the look yet.

Alecia, thanks for your response.
Bryan and I both love Fossil clothing. We have one store in Austin that carries apparel. From what I understand, there aren't many of those, and you might have to order online. The clothes seem to be JCrew level quality to me (although it is a more casual vibe over all). We've had no issues with anything we've purchased, but it's not designer quality.
The black tunic is actually taupe in color. Any suggestions of how to pair it? I bought it a few weeks ago and already took the tags off.

Oh my word! You have Bryan modeling too! So fab! I'll be back to gush, Sarah. Got to go.

Fabulous week! Love the white top and necklace, and the banded top and microchecks!

I have to agree with Alecia about the Anthropologie tunic; the proportions don't seem right to me. Maybe it would work better with dark leggings? Or a scarf or something on top to fill out the shoulder area? I think it's because it's tank style and then gets wide at the bottom that seems unbalanced.

But I love those white jeans! Bet they'll look great with the banded top.

Very handsome and stylish Hubby too!

You both look so great.
I like the tunic and white pants. I thought that it was a good match and wanted to copy it. I like the ruffles at the neck/shoulder line and the lace at the bottom that you can see through to the white pants. At least this is how it seems on my screen.
The blue top and white blouse are just so pretty. You always look so pretty.
Hubbie looks like a model too.
What a pair you make.

I love all of you outfits!! My favorite was the tunic with the white pants, doesn't that always confuse things? I love the romance of your style and the colors that you wear. How great to see your man in outfits!! I would love to get my husband to pose, actually he may if I asked and we are working on his wardrobe. I am trying to convince him of PPL, he can not see the logic of pants so long. He also thinks gear is a great fashion look! Great ideas for guys, your husband is adorable!

LOVE the tops Sarah! esp the white Fossil top. Fab! I've been eyeing that blue banded top at express myself, to wear with the microchecks I promise I won't copycat you now. I like the tunic + leggings but I see what the others are saying about the proportions. I think because it is a woven top, the drape is different from say a jersey or a knit top. I still think you pull it off quite well.

Yay for you getting hubby to pose. He is very stylish too

P.s. I just about squealed when I saw your blue dress from Zara! I bought the same dress in orange 2 weeks ago and have been wanting to wear it with leggings. I can't find my camera battery charger so all new outfits are on hold.

Thanks everyone! Bryan has always been a great dresser, but he was dragging his feet a bit on the posing for photos. I promised him I wouldn't do it often - but cyan needed some ideas.
niva, copy away! I'm sure I got that idea from someone else. Those tops are on super sale at Express right now, but I took an XS. I normally wear S in their knits and M in their wovens, just fyi.
I tried my Anthro tunic with my cropped leggings and it looked odd. I'll take photos to see what you all think. Hubby was thinking stirrup leggings would be a better length with this particular tunic.

*bump* with questions on the Anthro tunic. Is it leggings length or too short for those? I'm scrambling for ways I can wear this because I took the tags off and wore it already.
I tried it on in the fitting room and it screamed YES! That just doesn't happen very often. Any tips or additional comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you all!
Also, what are you favorite colors to pair with taupe/white combos? I'm looking for a fun wedge sandal to spring-ify this outfit. I tried on some tomato red patent heels and it just didn't look quite right.

Hmmm. Pondering tunic. I think it's too short for leggings. I'm not sure why I think it would be different than skinnies, but what about clams? It's a gorgeous top. I'm certain there's a perfect look for this. Maybe it's the one you've already done. There is not a uniform perspective on it.

Taupe/white & yellow or navy or black (not so fun but I think it looks very nice) or orange

thanks so much sarbear!!! you look fantastic, as well as your hubby. sorry it wasn't that much fun for him, lol.

You look terrific in all your pictures, I especially love the first outift!
I also have a taupe tunic and I wear it with white jeans - I like adding yellow or turquoise. I think any bright summery colors would work, it's just what I happen to have around. For shoes, snake print would be great too... and even Brulees will work, IMO. I still haven't mustered the courage to wear leggings with tunic length tops, so I can't help here.

Let’s just say that Bryan has a rocking high style quotient. Just like his wife! I love it when men dress well.

Here’s my 2 cents:

o First outfit – FABULOUS

o Second outfit – FABULOUS

o Third outfit – FABULOUS

Over to you, Sarah.

I love all the outfits, Sarah! I'm so excited we're CM twins!

Will you wear the tunic tomorrow so I can see it in person? I feel that I could give you a better answer about whether they would work with leggings if I could see it in person.

What a treat to see your stylish outfits and Bryan's too! My favorite is the tunic with the white jeans. Have you tried this tunic over black or dark denim?
I'm also wondering how it would look over a pencil skirt for a different look.

Thanks for your additional comments! That really helps.
Angie, thanks for the confidence booster.
Ana, sorry I didn't see this until I got to work. But I got the tunic at Anthro so I could just try it on for you when we go today.
Joy, I haven't tried the tunic with dark denim yet. I'm hoping to find a pair of dark skinny jeans for the fall season anyway.
I found a teal pair of shoes and was curious if they'd go with the taupe. I also love the idea of orange!
Angie, Bryan is very stylish. I love that he's not afraid to try anything. White jeans was a pretty bold move for him, but I'm so glad he went for it because I loooove them on him. Hee hee. And I made a mistake, that olive polo was not Theory, it's Hugo Boss.
