WIW - Denim skirt, red shoes, navy, summer dress

I'm finally feeling better. Yay! However, we were having new carpet installed and they ran into some problems so my house is completely trashed since I can't put anything back into those rooms. That's why there's so much extra stuff in my laundry room. This is making me cranky and stressed. I hate clutter and having stuff everywhere is not doing good things for my peace of mind.

#1 - Denim skirt and chevron top

#2 - Black with red shoes.

#3 - Boho top and navy pants

#4 - Summer dress with white sneakers

Thanks for looking and any comments or suggestions are more than welcome.

Chuckle, Domino is long gone from all that.

Sara, hang in there, It has been obvious in your posts, how spotless and uncluttered your house is. It is amazing with your young family how tidy your laundry room is. You will feel so good after the carpet installation is finished. I can't stand clutter either.

In the meantime your clothes and wardrobe is a good diversion.

P.S. Meant to say all your outfits are cute as they can be.

I love your outfit posts- always perfect for your lifestyle, and pulled together. In particular, I've been studying your jewelry choices, because your pieces always add a simple element of interest.

Good luck with the carpet!

Love these! May I ask who makes the top in #3?

Love them all, but that chevron top is to die for. Hang in there.

I had to go back and look for all the extra stuff. I hope you get your house settled soon. As always, they are all great, but 3 is my fav. I really love the top.

No 1 FTW! I may have to copy Sorry about the carpet. Renovation/renewal work around the house is very stressful but worth it in the end.

Great outfits all around, but #1 is truly awesome! I miss Domino here. Hang on in there, I am sure the house situation will be over soon and then you will have your beautifully renovated home to enjoy.

You look amazing in #1! Also love #2.
Thank you for modelling the denim skirt. It looks great on you and just the right length. Do you find it's a useful piece?

Your laundry room is pretty close to immaculate btw. Where is all your laundry?!

Thanks everyone!

Christina F. - The top in #3 is the brand Renee C but I got it from Stitch Fix so I don't know where you can buy it.

Smittie - Ha! I do laundry on the weekends so my laundry room is generally pretty clean by the week when I take most of my photos. I should take a photo of what I see - my pantry is on the other wall and it's not organized at all. It needs some serious help.

I forgot to mention that I find the denim skirt a great addition to my closet. It's was actually a hand-me-down from a friend but I wear it almost every week.

These are all great looks, with 1 and 4 being my personal favourites.
You have some great shoes too..
It is hard having a disrupted home but it will be worth it!!

Thanks, Sara! Looks like a wholesale company, but they have a website and a small presence on Amazon.

Another fan of the first outfit! But YLF in all of them.

We just came off of 2 weeks of house stuff, and nothing stresses me out more than workmen around in my sanctuary (LOL) so I get your stress!

Great looks but #1 is my favorite on you and the boho top in#3 is my favorite piece. A different look for you.

I hope that your house settles down soon and the new carpet makes up for it. Lovely outfits, I like the top in 3 particularly and the cute denim skirt in 1.

I'm going to be the outlier here and say that I think outfit number one has potential but doesn't look quite finished to me. The high crew neck, which doesn't show your collar bones, I feel looks a little bit disjointed. To my eyes, it kind of bisects the neck in a way that looks odd to me. I think that it would be good to change the focus. You could try a necklace. The necklace from photo two might work if you like to be a bit more maximal or from number four for a more minimal vibe. Or maybe you can do something to shift the focus upwards, like style your hair more up or back and then some bolder but still monochromatic and clean lines earrings.

I like all of your other outfits. I'm particularly impressed with number three. I think that you balance out the wider color blocking in the top with all of the other pieces in the outfit. I've rarely been successful with this, and I will try copying your outfit formula for wearing this type of top, or really any horizontal stripes. Long simple necklace plus skinny jeans plus nude shoes will help me feel less square and wide in horizontal stripes. Thanks.
