Here are a few pics - some dating from early August and a couple more recently in September. All of these have been worn to work.
1) I like this scarf that I was given by a work colleague - but I rarely wear it. I tried with navy and red, This outfit is okay but I don't love it - suggestions are welcome? I think the boots look a bit dated as does the front tuck.
2) I purchased this off white cardigan in the efforts to find mid weight toppers. Worn here with a silk scarf, I liked this in theory more than in reality.
3) My new knit tee from Monoprix, worn with the rusty red pants. This felt a bit better for me - a bit crisper and sharper.
4) New cord blazer and silk scarf from Paris. Oh how I want to be a cool French girl. I think this works - wearing my slim straight jeans.
5) Worn to a conference - navy suit and same new knit tee, this was right on par for dress expectations and felt very appropriate.
6) To work and heading out tonight after work - new long blazer coat that I bought for the black tie event. I HAVE to wear this to work to get over paying so much for it!! I think this casual styling works. I will improve the hair and makeup for dinner later.
My knit wear frustrations are around:
1) My green sweater - new this year - only handwashed in cool water - has shrunk in length - it is now too short. Grrr.
2) The cream cardigan pulls, each time I wear it. I do like this, but I don't think it is as versatile as I hoped it would be. I hoped it would be that unicorn piece to go over dresses or summer tops at the start and end of the day.
I am going to donate or sell the green one, it rides up my back constantly. It has had about 20 wears but that's not enough for something that was supposed to hang around a while. But the length issue is just so irritating. Ideas on how to safely stretch are welcome!!
