WIW: dressy and casual - YouLookFab Forum

I felt inspired by Una's post, so here are two of my schizophrenic styles

1-2. This is actually what I would have worn if I hadn't spilled coffee all over myself right before I walked out the door. Had about 1 minute to throw on a new dress before I ran out the door so no pics of the actual dress I wore

Dress: target
Shoes: Aerosoles
Cardigan: NY and company

3. I thought about wearing this cropped cardigan with the dress but felt too frumpy. Was I right? This cardigan is a bit of a closet orphan because the front is floppy and it's a crew neck instead of the v neck which I usually prefer.

4-5. Weekend MOTG outfit. Nothing exciting, but I am attempting a semi-tuck (thanks, Mona!) for my first time.

Shirt and shorts: Old Navy
Loafers: Liz Claiborne from DSW

Thanks for looking

I actually like the cardigan in #3 best. I realize though that I'm not seeing it in motion.
Your weekend casual is great!

I like #3 too! A good cardigan look. #2 is frumpy to my eye, whereas #3 is not.

Cute baggy shorts outfit too.

love the cut of cardigan in 3. but the color could be a bit more fun, if you dare! stylish MOtg also!

The shorter cardi conveys a sassiness that I like. Also like where you are going with the semi-tuck.

Love the dress with cardi in #3, color looks good to me bookending the shoes. I dig your BF shorts, and think I pre-copied you yesterday as I was wearing a pink gingham top too! Great summery style!

I prefer 3 of the cardis, though I can't tell how the color suits you. Love a cropped cardi! And your second outfit is great - I was eying red gingham at the Gap, but decided it was too close to what everyone here wears by default (Western style) for me to pull off in a cool way.

High fives from my personalities to yours!

Wow, thanks ladies! I guess I was wrong about my poor little orphaned cardigan. Will need to re-evaluate my frump meter I think it's the color that throws me as well as the cut.

Jayne, I have many colored cardigans but no cropped colored ones. I definitely want to a pop of color in my wardrobe so will be on the lookout for those!

Juliejohn, the color is actually more orange but I have a pink gingham shirt too (along with purple and blue!) i love my gingham shirts!!

Una, I was a little worried about looking too western wear with this color since I live in the south. But I really love the bright orange color so went for it anyway.

The one bad thing about a semi-tuck and running around a mommy and me class with a 2 1/2 yr old is the constant untucking and re-tucking. Lesson learned!

Another vote for the cardigan in 3. Love the fit with the dress and it bookends the shoes!

nicoleb

I like #3 the best too! Nice looks!

Aida

I much prefer the cardigan in #3 (though I can't really tell the color), the cropped cut is much sassier looking with the dress and also creates a longer line than the one in #2 does. Cute MOTG outfit, I like the orange gingham
