- Everlane black tee
- Lululemon pants
- Coclico sandals

I don't hate this at all, I freakin' LOVE this! The shoes, the jacket, the column of black making a perfect backdrop for both... You look FAB, all caps!

I don't have any hate either. I think it is rather cool and very unexpected for you which makes it even more interesting. It doesn't hurt that the pant fit is great and those shoes are lovely.
Definite winner.

I don't understand why you would expect anyone to hate on this. It's one of my favorite outfits you've ever posted.

I second what everyone else said. I love the combo of tough and pretty . The shoes are the perfect touch.

I don't expect anyone to hate it. They are simply allowed to say so if they do. I personally am still not sure this jacket is "me" but you gotta rock it to know it.

Tanya, they are Coclico Jory wedges, and I got them off eBay.

Love this outfit on you! The moto is just so cool, and I like how the column of black (yet interesting! not a blank background--those pants are great) showcases the jacket and the awesome shoes. One of my favorites of yours ever, too.

I'm a dissenter...I think the print on the jacket is too fussy and it doesn't really remind me of your style which is usually much more modern eclectic/Rick Owens/Helmut Lang-ish. Love the rest, especially the shoes!

I don't mind the jacket. I just don't think it really goes with all black. But I'm in the camp that black does not go with everything.
I could see the jacket with faded, distressed jeans and the same shoes. That would be a better juxtaposition.

Not a hater, but not a lover of the jacket. Just my personal thing about that print.

But totally love the column of black with the incredible shoes. Seriously.

AG I think that's the next mixup I'll try with this top. Just tooooooooo hot here for jeans and these pants 1) cover unshaven legs and 2) wick.

No hate, only love. I don't always love black as a backdrop for bright patterns, but I think it works here - maybe because the shoes and your ankles bookend the jacket background, but are not matchy-matchy.

I don't love the print on the jacket here, but want to see it with jeans. Also don't hate it either. I do like it with the shoes.

Great outfit, but I cannot take my eyes from those shoes. So gorgeous.

Oh, the shoes are awesome! My word! I think anything worn with these shoes is going to look great.
I like the moto over a column of black but it is you who has to decide if it feels like you or not.

Well I have an irrational and shameless love of florals so of course I love this on you. The book ending of the lighter shoes (which are a whole other level of fab) with the lighter jacket makes the jacket look intentional and ties the outfit together. The fit of each item is fantastic.

I can't see past the shoes either, they are amazing
I like AG's idea of distressed denim too.

Gorgeous. Your specs kind of bookend the lighter shoes too. I like the column of black because of the repetition in your dark hair. The outfit looks balanced and attractive to my eye. Nicely done.

I like it! The floral jacket isn't your usual style, but I think that's why I like this outfit—it's unexpected. I think that wearing the jacket over the column of black is smart, because then the jacket gets to be in the spotlight.

If you want us to hate your outfits, you will have to try harder.

Ok ... I hate it.... Send it all to me lol. Seriously nothing to hate. That jacket is quite fab. It could skew cool or frumpy, but the shoes and the black bring out the best of it. Like it... A lot!

Love the shoes, and the column of black. Not sure about the jacket, or rather I might like another bold jacket better here. Maybe because what Anna said. But it is interesting, which I consider a plus.

I am in love with this outfit! Although Anna's version sounds fun too! The booties are TDF!
