W.I.W to choir and Blue Suede Shoes.

Lyn D.

Hi Ladies, I have enjoyed reading all about the Big Sale and seeing your purchases.
In Australia we have also had Winter and End of Financial Year Sales, and of course I bought a few things at the reduced prices.
This is mainly old stuff though, except for the belt and shoes. The shoes were purchased over the weekend from the Thrift shop I volunteer at- saw them on Friday and popped back to try. I also spotted a D&G bag that turned out to be a fake!
I added a croc. textured burgundy scarf when I left home for extra warmth.
D.H. commented that the jeans are 'Very high-waisted'. What do you think about the proportions?
Thanks for looking and commenting, and have a FAB Monday.

This is a great combination - love the gray and burgundy, low contrast and snuggly look (even though I am going for as little clothing as possible here), and I LOVE the shoes! What does this look like if you don't tuck the shirt in? You could still use the belt either over the top or even the sweater.

I hope that no one stepped on your blue suede shoes!

I really like how the soft gray/blues bring out your eyes. The lovely coloring of your eyes and complexion reminds me of Angie's client Karen.

Personally, I think that if you're wearing a top tucked into these jeans with an over-layer like this long cardigan or a jacket, it would be fine. The proportions might look a little funny if you were to wear a top tucked in without a top layer, though - it could potentially make your torso look disproportionately long.

I agree with Kari, I think the longer, flyaway cardigan make the proportions look good. I love the greys and blues on you. Fabulous outfit!

Lyn I think the proportions on this are great. Agreed that wearing something over the tucked in top (like the waterfall cardigan) is perfect. Or perhaps you could try a semi tuck? These colors are totally gorgeous on you. And those shoes!!! They are one gloroius pair of heeled loafers, I really like the cute toggle. They look as new. Great score... funny how we aussies (on the forum) now say 'thifting' & "thrift store" my friends here didn't know what I was talking about to begin with. I feel a little like I am now bilingual! Even my spelling on the forum reflects the US way but in fact I am meticulous about correct English based spelling... woops off on a tangent! You look great in this

Thank-you all for the feedback!
cjh, the top is fine untucked but I wanted to try something different, and to add a belt.
Kari- a comparison to Karen is a HUGE boost, thank-you
Deb, I am glad you like the shoes. D.D. wasn't so sure but I thought they had potential. Yes, they appear to be fairly new and are leather. Brand is 'nine-west'. (I have no. more. room. in my closet for shoes, but they are going to live under my wrought-iron mannikin as part of a kind of display thingee !)

Love the blues & greys together. The proportions look fine to my eye and the waterfall cardi & leapard print top look great.
