WIW: Planned Outfit #3 - YouLookFab Forum

The stress-less week continues with these planned outfits.

At work again today and a little more dressed up than usual and for this time of year. Like, people asked why I was so dressed up. Le sigh.

Pic 1: WIW
Denim Jacket - Talbots
White Tank - Laura Petites
Skirt - Melanie Lyne
Shoes - Clarks Indigo
Earrings - once belonged to my Mom
Watch - Tommy Hilfiger

Pic 2: What was planned
- switched out the shoes because I wanted to give these heels a road-test before the school year really started. They're quite comfortable, so they will be put into regular rotation

I am not sure of these shoes with this outfit overall, however. I am not used to the straps so high around my ankle, and I'm just wondering if they make my legs look short.

Thoughts? Feedback and comments always welcome. Thank you!

Gorgeous outfit! A 10!

Your legs look great in those sandals. Nice book ending with your hair.

You look fab! The skirt is a great fit & length for you. I intend to copy this.

This is my favourite look on you yet! Stunning. I would like it with your other shoes also but these are much more fun and fashion-forward, and I do not think they make your legs look short. I am one who is very picky about that (and always worried about my own stumpy legs) so consider yourself in heaven.

Fab outfit Krista!

My favorite on you so far, Krista! I love it's polished playfulness. And, um, your legs aren't short. The red shoes would be cute, too, but these shoes anchor the outfit and give it a little confidence. I'd love to wear this outfit!

So ca-yoot! I love that skirt with the softened lines around the dots. The sandals look edgy, fab, and take this outfit from sweet to spicy. LOVE IT!

Very, very chic.

Appropriate answers for why are you so dressed up:
Because I felt like it.
Because it makes me feel good.
Because it's more fun than dressing down.

Thanks for the feedback on the shoes, everyone! I really appreciate it as they are much more edgy than what I've worn in the past. I've always wanted my wardrobe to be a little more edgy and so I am starting to learn how to do that. Baby steps!

JR - Those are great answers and I appreciate the suggestions!

You rock that outfit. That skirt is si interesting with the painted dot effect and you look great in B&W! thumbs way up on the shoes too!

Marley

You look adorable! Did you consider trying the top tucked into the skirt? I was just wondering if that might lengthen the look of your legs? I love those shoes - but its a given that any shoe with an ankle strap, is going to shorten the look of your leg. For me, its worth it to go with the shoes with ankle straps, because (like other people have said), it "edges" up your outfit significantly!

Wohooo Krista I love the skirt :)...
You look soooooooooooooooo nice

Mona

Krista, you look so effortlessly stylish in this. Love your skirt.

Ornella

Gorgeous! I love those sandals on you. What's best of all, is by changing the footwear alone, you have so many varieties of this outfit. Ah, the wonders of neutrals

Just fab, Krista! Love all the outfit, esp. the skirt, and am taking notes:-)!

Thank you again, everyone! I have made notes to repeat this outfit again some day!

Marley - thanks for the suggestion on tucking in the top. I had never thought of it and it would actually work because it's a flat waistband on the skirt. I am new to tucking in tops - it's right where I am carrying weight right now and I am still working through some self-consciousness about it. But I agree that it would lengthen the look of the skirt so I will definitely try it. Thanks!

Love this! You look great and the sandals make your legs look fab!
