Hi ladies - I am headed out to London in a few weeks on a vacation. We will travel with out lovely neighbors. We'll go to some museums, visit many a pub, and go to the matinee of Book of Mormon, with dinner after at a gastro pub.

For the trip, I've been casting around checking out London street style blogs. I think I've settled on a more casual and highly layered look for London - boyfriend jeans and sneakers or oxfords as well as a baseball (aka bomber) jacket I've got on order. I also have the Leith slouchy pants on order, arriving tomorrow. For anything mildly dressy, like going to see the play, I plan to wear my black midi tube skirt and tall flat boots with cardigan and oversized scarf.

I created a google presentation for my inspiration here.

Here, I am trying out a casual layered look - boyfriend jeans, sneakers, hoody and moto jacket.

I realize that this look isn't everyone's cup of tea. I am looking for suggestions on how to improve this, because this type of outfit is new to me. I'm giving you the "hood up" and "hood down" version because I think you can see a bit better how the jeans fit. These are replacements for the ones I initially tried a few weeks back that just weren't slouchy enough for me. I also really like the lighter wash.
