Wiw: 2 work and 1 casual outfit

Hi gang! Here’s a couple of outfits- the weather has taken a terrible turn here.
I’m continuing to experiment with a little more structure.
Pics 1/2 is a casual, and the others are work.
Outfit 1/2: happiness factors pink flatforms, turquoise pendant and grey Boden cardi is very cozy and nice wool.
Outfit 3/4: happiness factor I like my new silvery grey pants however this wasn’t a brilliant outfit tbh. I did think it was a little better irl though.
Outfit 4/5: some happiness factor with the satin pants, textured sweater and statement earrings.
I feel a style moniker change brewing.....
thanks so much for any comment :).

First and third outfits look super (esp. the last! love!). For the second I think a lot of structure gets lost with large cardigans; maybe try tucking the top so the pants will add an extra dose of structure. Skinnies would also add structure but that's a different vibe. A tucked woven top would add the most extra structure. And if all that still feels off, one last thing to try would be to push up the cardigan sleeves -- exposing your forearms would add quite a bit of structure.

As cute as a button as always, Jussie.

The turquoise necklace makes the look in #1 - no wonder it makes you happy.

You look lovely in #2. Scrunch the sleeves - nodding along with Aida - and you're sorted.

Coat adds fab chic in #8, and the patterned pants are super fun.

You need LIGHT boots to bookend your hair.

You look beautiful in all of them Jussie. I especially LOVE 4/5 - what amazing trousers and the earrings ar TDF. It is a perfect outfit for you, both withou the coat and with the coat.
The Boden cardi is great - lovely with the pendant. And I like your new grey pants too. How about a pair of boots with the second outfit?

Katerina: thanks for your lovely response. I totally agree, some boots would be great with the second outfit. I need to get more into boots! I am very sandal-focused. Don’t worry on that particular day I got to work and the first two people I saw were wearing Birkenstock sandals with jeans and puffer coats.... so I didn’t look too out of place in my “winter sandals” lol!!

I love your new style too (or a style variation) for the colder seasons. Any thoughts on a new moniker?

I love the first and third - first is so cosy and I love the shoes!!

And the third is really nicely styled all round... the earrings, the pants!!

Our weather has turned too - it is dark and wet.

It s really strange to think of you lot down there having bad weather in my mind Oz is eternally sunny! Anyway I really like the dark ,floral pant outfit on you and with the camel coat looks very sophisticated.

First - I love the jewelry you styled the outfits with. Just lovely
As a member of 2 bird groups can you guess what my all time favorite is- lol. To say I think they are super is putting it mildly.
All round they look comfy, cozy and totally cool
Well done

Efbgen: thank you- you’ve really given me a boost. Especially as I didn’t really feel too sure about thes outfits, although I knew there were some happiness factors I wasn’t sure about how it was all coming together.

Your casual outfit is adorable and so cozy looking. The pendant makes me smile...that color! I am loving the striped sweater! I would love to find it’s twin in my closet. Oh, Jussie, your 3rd outfit is a showstopper! Polished perfection with and without the coat. I am enjoying your evolving style and can’t wait to hear your new style moniker!
