WIW - another everyday outfit

Astrid

Veteran

Here's what I'm wearing today, another everyday outfit. Nothing special, but I thought it would be useful to post everyday stuff more often so that I can better decide on what would be a good acquisition when I go shopping in the future.

I'm wearing these cords all the time right now, but I don't like how they bag out. And I used the pleather bag because it's raining. You get an outerwear picture too, because most people will see me looking like that.

That shirt was such a good purchase for you! I like the cords, sorry they bag out, that's annoying.

A classic and versatile everyday look!

Thanks Ceit! I agree, the shirt was a good buy. I'm going to see if I can manage to get a darker Petit Bateau shirt on the winter sale in a few months.

Thanks Peacechick!

I'm so excited you're planning on posting more outfits! And that you include your outerwear! Love this outfit: the lighter striped tee goes beautifully with those cords (too bad they bag out, because they're a gorgeous colour). And your hair's looking great.

A great everyday look. We need those for inspiration too. I hear you on bagged out cords and have given up on them for that reason and that they look shapeless and faded so quickly, even when gently washed in cold water and hung to dry.

Love you stripes Astrid.

Thanks E! Good hair day today, yes. I love the color of the cords too, they already were faded when I bought them but the color got actually better with wear. If only the bagging wouldn't be such an issue.

Thanks Joy! I don't think I'd buy another pair either. I think I'm going to get my next cord fix with a cord skirt or blazer.

Thanks Shannon!

What E said about stripes and cord. And I really like the semi-tuck look on you.

The color of your hair with the bag, scarf, and coat is so nice! By the way, I think there is some good advice in this book about good cuts for curly hair. I have thought of it a couple of times and just thought I would mention it.

Stripes always make an outfit fun, but a nice striped top is tough to find. Great casual look here.

Love your bag and the way it bookends the scarf! The cords are a great color and its a shame they bag out

You look so great in this Astrid - I think it's a really good idea to find a similar one in a darker version. I always look forward to your posts and your happy smile!

Great casual chic outfit. Darn cords. I am having the same problem with linen pants

Nice. I like the coat a lot too.

I'm glad you posted your everyday WIW. The semituck looks great, as do your coat and bag. It's getting cold enough here that I can't wear a shirt like this anymore. I have to cover it with sweaters and/or blazers for warmth.

Thanks Sage!

Thanks for the tip, Scarlet.

Thanks Lisa! You're right, the right one is hard to find and this one is perfect, Ingunn has it too.

Thanks Neel!

Thanks Kelly! We'll see how disciplined I am with taking pics, but I'll try.

Thanks Texstyle! I should probably bookmark it so I can order it in the right size as soon as the price goes down.

Thanks Caro! I never had linen anything, but I think it would drive me crazy.

Thanks Rachylou! I pretty much wore this jacket all through the rest of winter this year.

Thanks Windchime! This is actually more a sweater than a layering shirt, it's a really substantial knit. You can see the great quality, I'd buy more of their stuff if it weren't so expensive.

Thanks Marmee!
