WOW ladies, thank you all so much for the comments! I am just floored. Happy to hear lots of love for #1 and #3 ^^
Beth Ann, I actually like wearing light footwear even more than dark footwear!
Karymk, nice to meet you! Looking forward to getting to know more about you and your style. How fun that I look like someone you know, I never hear that I look like anyone
Karie, the boots in #1 are taupe though they photograph fairly gray whenever I take indoor photos for some reason. The white jeans are KUT Dianas from a year or two ago; the denim is a nice heavier weight, though I do wish I had them in a size smaller (this pair is rather slouchy). I'd be curious to try the JCrew Matchsticks myself. (PS: we took your rec for the Ketchikan float plane tour and it was awesome!!)
Cherylynne, my work is very casual without a real dress code, so I generally try to go with creative business casual with some smart casual sprinkled in. Sounds like we'll be able to get inspiration from each other
Denise, oh I so hear you! You know, I do think that those FFBOs and simpler outfits are worth posting; I always love seeing the casual stuff, because sometimes it feels harder to be really stylish in those casual or over-simplified outfits. For the PPL, my trick is that I actually wear my long pants a little too long. I like the look of a little bit of pooling, so all of my long pants tend to be 1/4-1/2" beyond floor length. The fabric has to have a good drape for this to work though, or else the break will look odd; you also have to be OK with your hems, literally, sweeping the floor.
