WIW 6/28: Maroon and grey

NO SOCKS WERE USED IN THE WEARING OF THIS OUTFIT!
(or, I'm just lazy.)

ETA: I did not wear the socks all day! I put them on when I got home and was going to take a picture in my slippers but decided to go all the way downstairs to get my shoes.

Last time I wore this grey Gap blazer I felt too boring/classic. This time I tried it with maroon skinnies and a wide belt. There is a kind of half-tuck going on here, though it's hard to see. I'm a little disheveled because this is at the end of the day.

Una you have stolen my signature RATE look - uneven sleeves. I even remember being made fun of this as a kid. And it was not the end of the day either.

Anyway I love your maroon skinnies/blazer look! So not boring. I wish I could see the half tuck. I would just change to socks that match the jeans I think. I really like the patterned blouse and belt under the jacket. Wear again!

Hahaha! I didn't wear these socks. I changed into them when I got home, then decided to take a picture, then went and got my shoes afterward. But don't put it past me to wear such a combo forgetting that I had them on.

I think it is a cool look Una. I love you in BF blazers.
The only thing I am not sure about is the shoes with exposed socks in a contrast color. I would go for a sockless look here.

This is a great look! (SANS the socks). I like the way the maroon picks up the colour in your hair

LOL about the socks. At least it's summer in Alaska. This is a GREAT look!

I think the maroon just gives it enough color since the rest is neutral. I am not much for colored jeans myself but it looks great on you!

I love this outfit, Una! It's kind of updated 80s to me. The maroon pants are awesome!

I love maroon and gray! So nice to see it made modern and fresh. Wear again!

This color combo is so you! I think you need some maroon boots to bookend your hair when these jeans are in the wash.

Awesome outfit Una! Such a great color combo. Btw, it appears that maroon/wine/burgundy/oxblood is going to be the IT color for the fall season.

I love it! Great color combination, *must copy come fall.*

(We are back in the 90s, I am staring at your blazer like it's a Godiva chocolate.)

Great look. The maroon is a good color for you:).

I like this classic blazer with the skinnies! The color of the skinnies is both a classic but also on trend! The blazer is sort of English schoolboy feeling to me!

Love this colour combination of neutrals plus colour-that's-*almost*-neutral AND happens to echo the streaks in your hair. How awesome is that? And the silver lining of those cuffs plus your ring and rivetted shoes... very sharp dressing, Una, with the unexpected intricacy of a patterned shirt. GREAT outfit!

Love! I rather like that semi-tucking looks like normal tucking with blazers... then you take off the structure and have some slouch. These maroon skinnies are awesome! And hooray for no socks, my favorite
