WIW: academy and liberty

Diana

I don't know why it took me so long to pair my Academy blazer with my J Crew liberty shirt since they go so well together! Decided I needed something light on the bottom to bookend so went for my light taupe boots.

Do you prefer the jacket buttoned or unbuttoned?

Gap Academy blazer, J Crew Liberty perfect shirt, Vince jeans, Rieker Remonte Dorndorf boots.

An excellent pairing - they were made for each other. You look so fresh. I prefer unbuttoned, but you can do no wrong in this ensemble.

This is gorgeous! I vote unbuttoned too, but both look gorgeous. I bet this would look stunning with preppy footwear. Hmmmm. Loafers? Pointy toed patent leather flats?

Laura, I actually wanted to wear this with bootcuts and my gold oxfords, but it's still too slushy on the ground for draggy hems.

Love this together! They were definately made for each other. I like the jacket better open, it creates a nice line, but both look good.

I LOVE this! The soft colors, the midwash jeans. And of course the blazer looks like it's made to go over that shirt. Bootcuts and gold oxfords sounds awesome, but I really like it with your boots here too. This makes me wish for warmer temperatures and some sun. I can't wait for spring!

Those are totally made for each other! Love with the softer wash jeans too. Looks like a "happy" outfit.

Such a perfect pairing! Love how the yellow trim of the blazer is echoed in the print. You look stunning. I am so weak for liberty prints, I have to restrain myself from ordering them when new pieces arrive on the J crew website.

Ok, I can't top a K2K, but I wanted to say this is such a peaceful, pleasing and feminine look. Modern, too! Please wear again!

I love the way you played with the yellow. So refreshing. Also, interested in your comments about taupe boots. I have dark hair too and have been wondering if taupe booties have a place in my wardrobe. Great look!

Thank you so much, everyone! A K2K! *faints*

Adelfa, I actually find the taupe boots surprisingly easy to wear. They are close to nude on me (or at least really low contrast w/ my skin tone) so they work pretty well with bare legs as well. They have darker distressing at the toe, which I think helps for us dark haired ladies. I have a lot of trouble with white shoes, so I think this is a good compromise since I often want something light to bookend light tops, and I almost never wear light bottoms, especially in winter.

Lyn, I actually haven't been scrunching my sleeves lately. My sleeves never stay scrunched, and a rubber band inside them is uncomfortable, so I just haven't felt like fussing with them recently.
