(this cheery face was from before going out

So let me preface this by saying I'm happy enough with the outfit but at the same time it's always nice getting a critique from the YLF hive mind. I do have specific issues.

Well, first off, as usual it was thrown together in about a minute and a half, but that's fine with me and at least I don't think I look ridiculous.

But the tunic--tucked into these low-rise skinnies. Tucked? The horror. I'm a pretty serious apple, so it's even worse. But I didn't like the cropped jacket line over a longer length. So there you go. Somehow the population of Boston and Cambridge survived seeing my waistless self out in public. Heh.

And then there's these shoes. First of all, they are my newest pair and my last splurge for a long time, I'm thinking. (Thanks, Janet! You don't even realize when you enable!)

My legs certainly aren't long, but there does not appear to be enough scrunch factor here and you can even see a hint of black sock peeking through, with the low vamp. Obviously with the weather I was not going to go sockless. I don't know that there's any remedy for it; it just was unexpected.

Anyway, hope you're all staying warm and dry.
