Good gravy ladies, thank you all so much! Not sure how I will be able to continue getting dressed not in this outfit now Thanks also for the hair love. Can't have my fine, thin hair up as often as I'd like to but this looser style should be much gentler on it when I do.
Brooklyn, interesting about the 50s thing. That's not a decade I gravitate to but I do have a rockabilly streak in me which seems to manifest that way.
Joy, it's quite the mix isn't it! But the things you point out are definitely what I'd like to shoot for in an outfit: something classic, something pretty/glam, something retro, and something punk/boho (depending on my mood ^^). It seems I'm always going to have just a little tomboy feel in my best outfits -- probably because that's very authentic to my personality.
Suz, the silver shoes are very nice. TTS. Was able to walk all day in them just fine.
Sterling, how fun! If you haven't yet ordered the jeans (or even if you did) I wanted to mention that they do run large, so if you want a fit like this you will need to size down. This pair is down one size (fits like slim BF) and I also have a white pair that's down two sizes (fits like normal skinnies).
Style Fan, "Pretty Punk" is actually one of my style descriptors so woohoo for nailing it!
Maneera, re the hair working with outfits: I do my hair before deciding what I'm wearing! Whatever vibe it ends up with for the day (70s, 80s, slick pony, soft pony, etc.) dictates the direction my outfit goes.
Kelly, what jacket did you get? You always have excellent jackets (and dresses!), I'm sure the one you bought is great. Let's see it!
