WIW 10/11 - Oversized (not chunky :) sweater over skinnies

Here's what I'm wearing today to teach a class in the morning and then run some errands. The sweater is new, slightly oversized, and in a good soft brown (I think!) for my coloring. I am really loving my GAP trousers...and I am so NOT a trouser girl!

Wyatt brown sweater, GAP really skinnies, Frye Cindy boots

Sorry to post and run...I hope to be online later today. Thanks for looking!

Someone should dub you Lady Legs!! You look great in those pants and boots.

As for the sweater, heck, it looks a lot like TAUPE to me. Maybe everything does? It looks great...super comfortable, relaxed, with a nice drape to it. Love the necklaces, too.

Thanks, Suz. I do think the leg length has something to do with the angle of the mirror!

The sweater definitely is a taupe-y brown. It's actually the visual I used in my "soft autumn color" post to show the two browns that would work for each of us. The other sweater was actually more taupe-y than this one. There are many shades of taupe, apparently.

50 Shades of Taupe...there's your next book title!

Looks great! Very flattering on you, and you look put together, but comfy enough to run errands.

Looks very nice, autumnal and cosy but not sloppy.

Gorgeous! I could wear that brown as well. I love the proportions of thirds that this kind of outfit creates, it's so flattering on you!

I love this! I hope Deborah sees this outfit too. I bet she would love the color combo and the textures plus the nude boots and she'd be totally inspired. I think this looks fantastic. I love how you used tonal shifts in the same color family to create a gorgeous, lush outfit. Fabulous!

Love this outfit on you- look at how long your legs look! Casual but still refined and stylish.

I really love this outfit! I wore something similar yesterday and loved it. Simple, cozy, soft textures, good proportions--delicious. The colours play so nicely together and they really flatter you. Where's the sweater from?

Thanks everyone! Maybe I'll try it with a chunkier sweater someday....if I can find one that works.

Ariadne, it's a Wyatt sweater from Bluefly:
