WiW last week - peek of summer

Last week, summer was on my door steps and I went in limbo not knowing what to wear. The first warm day I had 3 layers of thin(!) wool/silk blend. I can stand up for it because the temp was only warm in the sun, but in the shadows it was quite cool (10-15 degrees C = 50-59 degrees F) especially after the sun went down. And the air had a sharp twist. The following days got better and better. This week we're back below 50 degrees F (5-8 Celsius).

Anyway, quite casual working days alone in my office + MOTG:
#1-2 lavender chinos (Marc by MJ ) + mole drape top with snakish print (Michael Kors) + coral cardi + green bag + sparkling Toms

#3 linen A-line skirt (H&M) + star top (Marc by MJ) + vintage belt + green jacket + heeled sandals

#4-5 details of jacket: back and inside

#6 quick remix for MOTG: linen skirt + star top + cross body bag (Marc by MJ) + flat denim shoes (H&M) + sunglasses

Thanks for looking! All comments are welcome as usual

These all look fantastic and the jacket is amazing with the lining showing even!

I really like how the sparkle in the top echoes the sparkle in the shoes in outfit one. And you look terrific in bold, bright colours (red cardi, green jacket > fab lining too!). Very clever restyling of the A-line skirt.

That green color is fab on you! I really like #2 - in fact, I think I almost bought that top. Seeing it on you, I realize I should have.

Jenava

Love the bright green, and the oxfords in the first outfit! I'd pop a slip under that skirt.

Jaime

Great jacket and casual looks!

I absolutely love these outfits! You and Diana, although a little different, have a similar style vibe going on

Both of these looks are solid 10s and you look KILLER in both.

I'm overwhelmed of the positive input because these where days in dressing limbo.

I bought the trousers as one of my first after a long SAHM period. Last summer, I didn't wear them often, so I thought I'd give it a try when temp got warmer and I wanted something lighter than jeans. And I've been struggling a bit with the M Kors top because it is so "flowing". I realized I just had to wait until temperature got up so I could wear it without a cami

The lining of the jacket is almost better than the jacket itself! (although I'm out of my comfort zone with animal print) and I havn't worn it that often because I didn't know what to pair it with. (And I don't like getting cold on my forearms). I was very happy with this outfit and the restyling to MOTG - a 10 on the happy scale

@Inge: Thank you for noticing the sparkling - I didn't think that, but I can see it clearly now.

@sarah: How funny you almost bought the same top! I got it 50% off last summer. Be patient, I'm sure there will be other great tops crossing your path

@Jenava: Thank you! The shoes are actually sparkling Toms, not oxfords, but I can see that oxfords would have been great too. I fully understand your suggestion on wearing a slip, but the sunlight from behind is making the skirt far more transparent than it is in RL. I don't think it is a problem, but I'll check for sure the next time I'll be wearing it

@shevia: Thank you so much!

@Angie: I'm overwhelmingly happy you approved of these outfits! The K-word is just fantastic I have noticed Diana's great outfits and it's enjoyable that you see us resonating style wise. Suz also mentioned Diana as an inspiration for me in another post http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....steps-long

What would you say are the differences between our styles? I'm not quite sure, but I think Diana's style might be slightly more artsy and flowing? Very fun, always a surprise element, flowing combined with rougher elements like leather boots, layers, different structures..
