Those sailor jeans are perfect on you --they make your legs look so long. My favorite of these looks is the first one, with the Zara blouse. And then the last, with the merino blazer. I think you could have even gone down one more size with it, though.

I love these outfits. I must have those shoes! How is the sizing?

viva

Thanks, Lisa. You know, I really could not have gone down in this jacket if I ever wanted to button it. It would have pulled and gotten visibly lumpy at the back - not my favorite look. It's an easy fit as it is and doesn't pull anywhere. Maybe if I went with a dark color, I would go down one more, but with this color, I'm good here. So glad you like these sailor jeans -- they were a really, really good purchase a couple of years ago. They're pretty forgiving too. I love them.

Liz: These shoes are fantastic! TTS. I get complimented on them often. I am still breaking them in just where they cross over my baby bunion, but I wear bandaids that hardly show and it's all good. I'm very happy with them. If you can tolerate the heel (2 good inches, I'm sure) they area great choice, and the blue is a beautiful blue.

I love these looks - the Sailor jeans are cool. And I like the blazer.

The one I think is fine but not A plus is 2 - I prefer the pieces the other ways you have worn them. But it is a comfortable B!! i love 5 - the ankle pants are such a great Viva look.

jussie

I really like each of these! Very hip take on neat causual workwear. I would actually wear most of these thanks for sharing.

Thanks Sally. I’m not sure the jacket really works with those pants. Appreciate the note. Xx

All great outfits, Viva. I especially love #1. I've had a similar pair of sailor jeans for about 1 1/2 yrs and I've never bothered to shorten them. How stupid is that! You have inspired me to move that to the top of my "to do" list.

The sweater blazer looks great! It's intended to be relaxed fit.

The blue shoes are killer.

Sorry about my typos- corrected now(on my phone). I do love your work looks Viva- I find them very inspiring as you have a great balance between professional and casual.

Toban

These are great! My fav is #1, but your cropped pant outfits are great, too. Love those blue shoes.

Elle

You've really nailed the work/travel look.

I like them all but my favorite is #5, followed closely by #1 (those pants look so cool). I like the slight oversize vibe of the jacket and think it fits you well. And, of course, the shoes really are to die for .

This is really helping me plan my outfits for next week's trip! Definitely outfits 1 and 5. I think I'll add a new one into the mix and come back for more feedback. Thanks all!!!

Wow - what a great selection of outfits from one suitcase. Really well done. Number 1 is so sexy yet professional and chic. And I have a soft spot for the cropped pants outfits because they show off those fantastic shoes. And.....I really, really like the JCrew sweater blazer, and am going to order one as soon as I can !

p.s loving your hair right now

Brooklyn

No 1 FTW! I agree with Lisa that it’s sexy in a professional way. The pants are very flattering and the colours are pretty. My next faves are 2 and 5 but they are all good.

Amy Isabella

Number 1 is extra fab, but they are all great.

rachylou

Super cute. Your style has changed a little bit. A little more boho...

Mainelady

My fav outfit on you is #1. The sailor pants and those shoes are so much fun!

Bijou

You wear all of these outfits so well. JCrew is such a great label for you, the fit is perfect. My favourite is #1, but they all are great. Your cropped pants also highlight those wonderful shoes!

#1 is Glam Gamine to a T! Gorgeous on you.

And those shoes!!! How I wish I had a need/ reason to wear such shoes. They are fabulous with the cropped pants. Love the slightly retro vibe and the colour.

I like all of these outfits. But my favourites are 1, 3, and 4.

Helena

LOVE all of these. I how you add an interesting detail (shoes, earrings) to each one ... It takes already solid outfits and raises them to the next level. Gorgeous.

kkards

great outfits...and those shoes, a touch retro totally modern....the sailor pants are genius-easy to dress up or dress down...perfect
for me #3 & # 5 are total 10s....#1 is a strong 9, i'd like to see it with a different shoe....

Ah, Suz! Some love for 4! I loved that one. Wondered if anyone else did.

LaPed

Love all of these! #1 is my hands down fav, but you wear that oversized blazer so well, too.

These are all very nice!
I really like the black outfit with the gold dangly earrings.
You always have the best shoes!

Oh and I tried on the knit blazer, but wow, did that ever Not Fit. I think you broader, squarer shoulders than I have, to wear it.

You might well be right about that, Smittie. You’ve just described my shoulder line exactly.

Vivian, I am a complete sucker for schoolgirl collar and cuffs and you look amazing in this. It's a total signature gamine look and you wear better than the best. So there!!

LOVE it all round, Viv. I adore you in those big earrings, and you look absolutely charming in the sailor pants. #1, 3 and 4 are my KILLER faves. Gorgeous proportions. NICELY done.

Oh my goodness, the SHOES! They look fantastic with all of these outfits. Lovely. I like all of the outfits, but #3 is my very favorite. I love that the cropped pants show of those gorgeous shoes, and the blouse is just perfect.
