WIW for not-sure-how-casual-or-dressy dinner

We're having a wonderfully cool day today (highs in upper 70s) so I'm wearing jeans! Hubs and I are meeting for dinner in a while, but I left the venue up to him to figure out, so I have no idea how dressy it will be.

So, I decided to go sort of luxe casual. I took pics untucked and partially tucked, and I think the partial tuck wins.

Shoes: Valentino rockstuds
Jeans: Paige
Silk shirt: Equipment
Tank: Uniqlo
Watch: M Kors
Clutch: Brahmin

What do you think? I'm committed to wearing this now and am pretty happy in it, but I welcome suggestions for future consideration. I considered BF jeans but I didn't feel like doing fluid + baggy tonight.

You look great and ready for any type of venue. I also like the semi tuck best. Have fun and enjoy the cooler weather!

I bet hubs will be very happy when he sees you! You look great, Janet...beautiful pieces here. And I prefer the semi tuck too.

Wow! That's what I say :-). You look fantastic - just look at your feet and the clutch and the perfect jeans and shirt - it's really great. Semi-tucked. At least I think semi-tucked but both look great. I hope you have a fun time.

"Luxe casual" - great description and the outfit fits it perfectly. I like how the shoes pick up the same shade in the blouse and then told clutch (which is TDF) picks up the jewelry in the shoes. There's a great cohesiveness in the outfit. Love the big cuff too.

Perfect! Totally agree with the partial tuck. Have a wonderful time!

What! You have rockstuds? So jealous. I agree the semi tuck looks great here, but untucked still looks good to me...maybe for more casual occasions.

Put me down for the semi tuck as well. Awesome shoes and bag. Enjoy your dinner!

Beautiful blouse!

I have started thinking about a planned dinner next week at a restaurant in SF. I realized I don't have any nice blouses to wear.

You look wonderful...The Equipment shirt is TDF and I love the shoes...Perfect evening out even if you don't know the venue...Have fun...

Love the partial tuck Janet!
Your clutch (and shoes) adds glam to the outfit- suitable for a more dressy venue if it turns-out that way.

There's not anywhere you could go with Rockstuds on your feet and not be perfectly dressed Super sexy outfit - love the half tuck!

Perfetto. As the choir I'm preaching to says, you could go anywhere in that outfit!

I like the semi tuck. Untucked would look great with a less contrasting cami.

Lovely, I would have probably gone with cool metal but it looks so much better with the warmer metallics for accent and shine. I am sure DH will be wowed.

Jude

That is one awesome outfit! The semi-tuck with the skinny jeans is perfectly proportioned. And the Rockstuds...zowie, serious shoe envy here!

Ha! I just mentioned how I don't look at WIW's much except when they grab me from the Wall view. I read your post title hours ago, but just now saw the outfit on the wall. Fab in every way. This is how I aspire to go about my smart casual, not quite dressy, occasions in life!

Gorgeous! I love the blues, nudes, and gold!

I like #1 the best, but #2 is fab also. And cool is highs in the upper 70's? My dear, that's on the border of hot! Cool is what we had today - mid to upper 60's

Excellent choice. 1 is my favorite version of the look.

You look great. I especially love your clutch. It is hard to me to judge the color though. Bronze?

Sterling, I think the best way to describe the color of the clutch is rose gold. Glad I got it while the color was trending, because I've always liked rose gold!

Oh yes, Janet. The clutch is gorgeous. I absolutely love it. I don't remember seeing it when you photographed your purses? Did I miss it?

I love this outfit, Janet. You look so fit and wonderful in those jeans. Beautiful!

Ah, Sterling, when I photographed my purses recently, I think I left out the clutch collection. And I have a pretty good collection now! At the time I was just trying to evaluate my larger bags -- primarily totes and satchels.
