WIW - under the influence

Jaime

I mean Angie's influence. This is still me, but it is touched by YLF pretty clearly.

And it is not all thrifted either.
Pleione cross over top (workhouse from a couple of years ago).
Zara pants
Daniella Lehavi sandals (second hand)
vintage Ferre bag (second hand)
thrifted watch with gold tone hardware, white band added

What do you think? Have I managed blend RATE with white and gold? And are the pants too long (again)? Thanks for looking!

Beautiful! The white top is still killer on you. Love how it plays with your hair. The whole outfit works beautifully for me -- I can just imagine it in the sun and warmth. Would be a good one to take for your city walking in the summer, too, no?

Thanks Suz - sunny and warm I am not lacking. It might make the suitcase cut - the white top is great for travel!

I don't see RATE, I'd say casual pretty. You wear a blouse not a t-shirt, green pants, not kakis, a ladylike bag : looks quite polished to me.

Pants length, well I suppose they're hemmed for ankle accentuating footwear when they're long like that, not for sandals or low vamped shoes, but it doesn't matter much to me.

I love cross-over tops ALOT and this one is amazing! As someone who also owns a lot of this style, I know that a top that lies flatteringly flat as it crosses over is a rare find!!!!

I would wear this whole outfit in a heartbeat. And I agree with Isabella ---this one is more Pretty Casual But you look fab for a hot summer day!

Ha, your title cracked me up and of course HAD to read it...

The outfit is really pretty, summery, fits well. Love those sandals, the textured effect is lovely! Being under the influence of Angie is clearly the place to be!

Can someone remind me what RATE means? Thx

I love this type of crossover tops and the white version looks gorgeous on you! it is a beautiful casual outfit and I agree with the other commenters that it is more Pretty than Rate.

Chris987, RATE is rough around the edges...

I don't see RATE, or rather I have seen you in more RATE outfits. I see pretty, casual, and neat actually. Maybe it's the white top, which is so illuminating on you...you are shining brightly!

The pant length seems good to me.

Chris, RATE = Rough Around The Edges ( if I remember correctly)
Shevia, I like this summer outfit very much. Cool, comfortable, and ladylike. To me the length looks fine but you could also go a bit shorter. I am still confused myself and suspect that there is a sweet spot to find when considering one's height, leg length and other proportions.

Ooh, I love this on you. Those crossover tops are wonderful, aren't they. Gorgeous fresh look but it looks more polished than RATE to my eye. I'd totally wear this btw.

Pretty perfect! On my screen, the pants look like a deep forest green...is that what they are IRL? Whatever color they are, I think they look great on you. Also a huge fan of crossover tops, especially woven ones. A Go TO Summer outfit, for sure!

YLF Shevia no matter the (otherwise one of the best) influence:-), length of the pants is fine to me!!

This is a perfect outfit Shevia - you look smashing in white (great with your fabulous hair), the fit of the pants is spot on, including the length IMHO, and the book-ending between the blouse and the sandals is delightful. Love the choice of jewelry too.

LOVE.

White is one of your best colours, Jaime. And you know I love your yoga arms when you wear sleeveless. (Weren't you wearing that top in Seattle when we met?).

The delicate shoes are GREAT. High five. A lot like my new sandals:

Skylurker you are the first person to ever call me polished. I am speechless.
Manny I have this top in blue also and wish they would make it in pink!
Chris thank you for appreciating my little joke and the compliment!
Tanya more pretty than rate is perfectly ok with me, thanks!
Aquamarine perhaps white is the ticket, thanks!
Joy, yes sometimes I just have to let the length be or it will drive me crazy.
Kelly we should start a crossover top fan club!
Carter I see them as more an olive green, but they are definitely some sort of green and thank you!
Lyn, TG, texstyle and Shannon thank you so much!
Angie I cannot believe you remember what I was wearing when we met! It was indeed this top. Thank you so much for your inspiration and generous thoughts!

I'm impressed with your pants. They fit you so well in that loose, summery kind of way. I like the length.

I don't see RATE at all!

I would say that this is the beginning stages of my idea of rate light. Because of the shoes and the slacks. I have to agree you look great in white.

Really lovely - and I agree with the others in that white is a great colour on you. Pants look pretty perfect to me

Fantastic - I don't see RATE in a strict sense (is that even possible?) but your fab hair and the bit of slouch add that wonderful mussed edge to my eye.

Well, that's what inevitably happens when you're under Angie's influence, I suppose.
And I realize I went straight to matter of fact description and forgot to say I love the outfit, whatever you wish to call it.

Of course, I remember! You were also wearing our dove grey ankle strap pumps and a pair of Summer culottes in a false plain. Looking fabulous, as ever. Floppy hat in big hobo bag.

Your hair is fantastic and the pant length looks perfectly cropped.

Casually polished! I think that our hair adds plenty of chaos, even if what we're wearing is more polished (so ( never feel too off in a polished look ). Fun to see that top again, I thought it looked familiar ^^ Pants length is good with these shoes, probably also fine with your ankle strap footwear too? As long as the strap is visible I think you're set there.

I agree with Skylurker, this look is casual and pretty, and a winning combination. You look great! I love that bag with the outfit, too. The pants look like a good length, to me.

Love the easy silhouette in a chic neutral pairing. The top is simple, but feminine and the bag is a real standout!

Well thank you all again!
Smittie I added the pants to finds. Kind of exciting to wear something I can do that for actually! I also added the top for good measure.
Ledonna rate light. Hmm. I am evolving apparently.
Thanks Lisa, very appreciated.
Rachy and Shedev and Lyn you have made my morning!
Una yes, my hair counter-balances the bag to my way of seeing things.
Skylurker choosing whom to copy is the essence of art right? Or something like that. And thank you.
Angie you are scaring me!
Aida yay for wild and unpredictable hair!
Sharan delighted with your comments, thanks!
