I have the day off today (my boss owes me some time back) so am doing a bunch of running around. It's a bit cool today (so glad fall is arriving) so I can wear some of my favourite casual items. I started the outfit with these recently thrifted jeans. They won't be everyone's cuppa 'cause they're light wash, some distressing, and flared. But I love them and they are my wee nod to retro-boho. In fact they kind of remind me of Aida's jeans, which I really like. And it doesn't hurt that hubby really likes the "back view" in these

I then added my Gap striped yellow/oatmeal sweater, semi tucked with my snakeskin belt showing. I could walk miles in my Docs and the jeans are just long enough to accommodate the heel height so popped on my animal print Doc Danielle's and am wearing my vintage re-issue Fossil handbag. I feel comfortable, appropriate, stylish and happy. I guess it doesn't get much better than that.

What do you think? Proportions, fit and colours work? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.

Jeans: American Eagle (thrifted)
Sweater: Gap
Belt: Olson Europe (thrifted)
Shoes: Doc Martens Danielle
Handbag: Fossil

BTW - I'm noticing my two new handbags (Fossil and Elliot Lucca) really make every outfit feel special and somewhat "elevated" in style. Loving them!

ETA - Angie, I've added a new picture showing more of my shoes - sorry it's not the greatest shot!
