WIW - Scarves, new sweater

Sara L.

I have a cough this week, so I've been wearing lots of scarves. They make me feel warm and cozy. I'm not really congested, just coughing. Baby boy has a cold and I'm sure I caught this from him (although he has a runny nose and I don't).

#1 - Worn to work but I also had Thanksgiving lunch at my son's elementary school so wanted flat shoes and pants to allow me to easily sit at the cafeteria tables.

#2/3 - Striped BR sweater and grey pants. Are these too short? I had them lengthened as much as possible. Tapered legs confuse me since they don't need to be as long as wide-legged pants.

#4/5 - New thrifted sweater. I like the neutral color blocking.

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

Love babies, but I feel like they bring everything home with them from daycare! I was never as sick as I was DD's first year of daycare.

I love the addition of the scarves.nthey make you look warm and cozy!

I like all these outfits, but especially 1 and 3--you are just too fab in tall boots! I think the pants in 2 are good; ideally I suppose I'd want them a little longer, but I'd wear them as you are, with low-contrast boots or shoes. I have a pair like this myself that I wish were a little longer, and I do the same thing with them.

You look smashing in that cobalt! That should help perk up some sickness, hope you get over the cough soon Sara. Great use of your scarves to add some comfy cozy along with color/print interest. I agree with Sharan about the length on the pants in #2/3, while longer might be a bit better it's OK at this length with low contrast footwear. Love the new sweater in #4/5, great find!

I hope you and your little one get feeling better soon. All of your outfits look great, but I love the stripes and purple scarf in #2/3. I have the same problem with my pants! I'll have to try wearing them with low contrast shoes.

I especially love the first one! Pretty much want to copy the whole thing. The purple scarf in the second one is also a really nice touch.

Feel better!

I love how you have tied your scarves. They suit you well. The pants in #2 seem like a good length to me ... But I totally suck at PPL! So you could ignore my view on that :D. The thrifted sweater is beautiful. Awesome find!

Oh dear. I hope you all get better soon. I think we catch so many things form kids. I still remember my son's first winter in the kindergarten, it was a disaster for my health, between us we did not have one straight week when someone was not sniffling or coughing.

My favourite is #1 and that's purely because of my personal preference for dark bottoms and deep rich shade of that top. But, #2/3 is yummy too, beautiful scarf colour and those elegant pants. Then the cardigan in #3 and great boots.

Your style is so consistent, practical and with more than enough interest, all are important ticks on my checklist too. One of the things that always pops to my head is how obviously remixable (is that even a word??) your wardrobe is. You post a few outfits per thread, but everything can be mixed and matched for more options... outfit #1 with the scarf from #2... top from #3, bottoms from #1... top and scarf from #2, bottoms form #1... top and scarf from #4, bottoms form #1. I feel like playing paper dolls with your cutout
