wiw: copying magazine style trying to keep blues at bay

I saw this outfit in a magazine a few months ago and decided to work on collecting the pieces required that I did not have. I think the model was wearing pumps and skinnies: I swapped for bootcuts and oxfords.

It makes me feel good!

paisley blouse: British catalog?
polka dot sweater: old navy
camel/tan blazer: olivia moon, nordstrom
burgundy ponte knit boot cut: karen kane
metallic oxfords:MIA via dsw
Michael kors watch
etsy giant clutch.

I LOVE this outfit, Sona!
That polka dot sweater makes me happy just looking at it- I hope it lifts your mood, too!
I love the pattern mixing with the paisley, and those metallic oxfords are fabulous.

That's a great idea, to copy outfits. I think this one have a lot of interest with the colored bottoms and pattern mixing. I'm glad it makes you feel good; it certainly makes you look good!

Sona, I love this outfit on you! It's so stylish and chic. I adore the polka dot sweater with the red pants and the camel blazer. I might have to borrow this color combination. Would you mind sharing the Etsy store vendor? The clutch is great. You look totally fab, and I'd be thrilled if my doc came in looking like you!

This outfit is snazzy. Did I actually use the word "snazzy"? Oh well, you know what I mean. It's so cute and sharp. You look great.

Sona!! This is absolutely perfect! The camel, burgundy and silver metallic together are very unexpected and it works brilliantly. There's some delicious pattern mixing going on as well with the paisley, polka dots (love that sweater!), and the animal print clutch. Angie will be over the moon to see you rock the daytime clutch:-) This is a modern and super look!

Also: so glad that you felt good in this outfit!

You look like you popped straight off the page of the magazine. I actually thought the first thumbnail was going to be the magazine shot, then realized it was you when I opened it up.

Brilliant outfit and I am absolutely coveting those metallic oxfords. I am going to hunt down my own pair.
