Wiw: a bombshell and a librarian

Hi guys, here’s a couple of outfits from the last few days. The first is not
My usual style at all, but I felt ok in it. I was actually in a rush and thought that black and leopard would be a safe bet.
The second outfit is more me! Hehe wool, soft colours, some soft pattern in the scarf and earrings. What do people think of the sweater vest over the sweater? To my eyes it’s good but I always appreciate feedback!
Thanks so much for looking

Very nice Jussie! I love the soft, light palette and pieces of the second outfit, but you look terrific in the first also, and I like how the leopard scarf softens the black. Gorgeous as always

Oh Jussie, your cute pictures always put a smile on my face!
I love both outfits. The second one is very you - soft and gentle with interesting details. I really like the earrings and scarf combination - lovely pieces and lovely combo. With that said, I LOVE the first outfit on you even more - a total knockout. So chic.

Jussie you make every outfit look good! LOVE the first outfit! Do you think it is just taking you a bit to adjust to clothes that fit your shape more closely? Your second outfit is wonderful, too, but in a different way. The softness is so you and very attractive. I love the colors of the scarf and how your sweaters compliment your hair.

Both outfits fits look great on you. I always think of librarians with a big beard, because that’s what my librarian brother has.

The second outfit looks nice and cozy, but the first is really great! You can pull off so many different styles, it’s fun to step out of your comfort zone!

Ooh to the first! Very nice, especially those little white bits. Successful comfort zone step out? The second outfit is a great volume-lite with soft textures, looks comfy ^^

Both are terrific - I can see the first is a slightly different take for you but you look sensational!!

Wear them both again!!

Both look great on you! The colours of the second are very flattering and I do think the sweater vest works over the sweater -- it's a fun layering trick.

Two super outfits on you! The leopard scarf is very fun, and I love how you combined a vest and scarf in the second outfit.

You have such a cute style! Sweater vest, especially with scarf and long blond hair, I could see it become signature for you. You just wear it so well, and it looks very cool on you.

Torontogirl, Katerina, Mainelady, Krishnidoux, Suz, Windchime, Sal, Jaileen: thank you for your responses. Always so great to hear that I’m on the right track! My style is really changing lately. Of course a lot of it is down to the weather but maybe it’s a little deeper than that too. I am really surprised by how useful the grey sweater vest is. Who would’ve thought?

I love both. You are right though you are chameleon. Which is actually a good thing in life.

#1 is KILLER - gorgeously structured.

These are both great! I love the leopard print scarf with the black. I also like the softer colors in #2. I think the sweater vest looks fine over the longer sweater.

I actually prefer outfit 2, I wish I could look as elegant with so many soft pieces ;). But 1 definitely works too, it’s classic, looks a bit Italian to me, and the leopard makes the black work with your light coloring. It makes you look edgier and maybe that’t what you’re looking for now, or occasionally.

Leisbeth, Angie, Sarah L: thanks for your wonderful feedback. Yes I am a bit of a fashion chameleon lol. The fitted black items aren’t a happiness factor for me but the leopard scarf made it all feel better. The second outfit was super comfy and the colours were prettier irl. Thanks guys

Isn’t it nice to know you have the bombshell in your pocket in case you need her?
I vote yes on layered sweaters plus scarves plus more and more. Cozy and cute! And a great opportunity for texture.

Both are lovely - but #1 is wow. So glad to see you rock the Bombshell look!
