Awesome, and great photos! I'd read your blog You make khakis look freaking cool.

I would totally follow your blog, Anna! You are way more cool, edgy, classy and real than any I've ever read! I adore your outfits, and this is no exception. I just love, love, love the background, and the black & white + royal purple + leather completely rocks. I like the boots a lot, but those pink pumps are gorgeous! You totally own the look and the location!

this is great! The black & white print pops nicely & while I would wear the boots for comfort, those hot pink pumps are divine!

great job on the "blogger shot"!! It can be really hard to take self portraits--both technically and conceptually!
I am looking & talking about photos all day long, and yet I still can barely take a photo of anything I wear...I keep thinking if maybe I start it as a new good "habit", like making a green smoothie with my new vitamix (!) every day (going on 3 weeks)--it will eventually stick.

So great! The pop of purple is inspired, with the other neutrals, and the white lets it stand out. Love the boots version. I think a pop of color shoe works too but I might prefer something a little less dainty and high, even if a pump--not sure what that would be, though.

I love it, Anna! Beautiful. I think the lighting suits you so much better than your regular lighting. You always look very pretty, but you look particularly pretty with this natural light. BTW, love the shoes! Forgive me for doubting (and it was always only the height and walkability).

Love the outfit and hearing about your experience venturing out into the wilds.

I confess I am bored of my WIWs and feel like others are too. Maybe its the setting or maybe it's my style. But seeing these fabulous pictures makes me think the setting can really help. I may just wait until the thaw and then venture outside where perspective is possible (Suz is so right) and there is all that luscious green to provide the perfect backdrop.

I don't really have a preference shoe-wise; I think both work depending on your occasion. So great to show both in this sequence and to have both to shake up the vibe of this great outfit.

Thanks for posting this, Anna. Love the outfit both ways and the beautiful scenery.

High five, Princess Chinos. They're quite fun to wear - all fashioned up - aren't they?

Great that you're outside taking pics in your killer look. It gets easier. You just have to switch off and be denial about the passersby.

I admire your tenacity for taking your show on the road, which is funny because we wear these looks outside the home, so why shouldn't they be photographed in their "natural environment"? I personally feel self indulgent taking photos of myself in my outfits while finding it helpful at the same time. Why the photograph and mirror provide different perspectives on the same outfit is beyond me, but I always find that I get a better idea of what my outfit really looks like from a photo. A bit more of an outsiders perspective, perhaps?

Awesome outfit, and I love the "outside" pictures. Well worth the effort if you ask me.

You are too cool for words!! Love everything about this!

Wow, you have courage! I'd never dare to enter public areas with my tripod. Kudos to you! Your outfit is terrific. I particularly like it with boots, but the pink heels are irresistible, too.

Very nice Anna. I love the outdoor pictures and your outfit.

Great pictures -- the trees are such a lovely backdrop! And I'm seriously impressed that you can make even khakis look cutting-edge.
