Today I had the day off, so I wore this to take a long walk, eat some pie, and do some aimless window shopping.

I think of this look as kind of as close to minimalist and as as close to hipster as I get, what with the all-neutral color palette, lack of patterns other than stripes, and general slouchiness. The cardigan is actually navy, not black, so it's a little less monochromatic than it looks in the pics. And the pants are my semi-nod to the track pants trend.

I wasn't quite sure what to do about the shoes, so I went with my cognac booties to add a lighter color. Black booties just seemed too dark. Low-vamped flats would've been cute, but I didn't quite trust the weather to be warm enough when leaving the house, even though it would've been fine. I tried cognac oxfords too, but they took the outfit from slightly grandpa to completely grandpa.

Does this look okay, or just kind of shapeless? This style of pants is new for me, so I appreciate other styling suggestions.

Any comments/advice welcome!
