WIW...black and blue x 2

Carla

Veteran

The clothes are the same, but worn 2 weeks apart I tried different footwear. If I do it again, I'd wear pearls instead of the neckerchief with outfit #1. The cotton neckerchief suits the more casual vibe of #2. This is one of my favourite button downs. The length is perfect, the collar stays popped, and it never looks wrinkled.

3/4 sleeve cotton button down - Lands' End
Black cuffed crops - Reitman's
Blue leather flats - Sears-Jessica
Black neckerchief, striped socks, black sneakers - MWWH

Love the shirt on you, and the black&blue combo. My fave is #2, because I prefer high vamp shoes with trousers this length.

Both outfits are great. 1 looks fab and 2 looks completely different with the switch of footwear. You are highlighting how different shoes can change an outfit.

Super cute pattern mixing with the statement socks.

You really do button-downs well. Love the striped socks.

That all suits you so well! I especially like it with the Converse.

So fabulous. I especially love the neckerchief and popped collar. Pearls would be wonderful too. What sort of pearls do you see with it?

I don't know, I think they both look fantastic as is, but will happily look at the pearl variation.

I do like a cotton shirt that stays crisp! I like the spots and stripes combination.

I love how you pull off the socks with your sneakers. Some people do that (me included) and they look like they should have purchased longer inseams for their jeans. I need to take another look at Landsend. I haven’t purchased anything for myself from their catalog in a long time. I love that your top doesn’t wrinkle and looks so nice.

You just own the button shirt look! The socks are the best. I don't know if as a short person I could carry that as well, but then again I never though I would cuff my pants, pre YLF.
