Decided to play with black and brown clothes from my wardrobe. Like last week, I've learned some things just from studying the photographs, and this has helped me with my shopping list. Another 2-3 weeks of shopping my closet and posting the results, and I think I will have junked the losers and identified the holes.
One problem, identified last week has been rectified. I got a bra fitting. Unconvinced by the results I had a second one. Up a cup size, and down a band size 32D. The visual improvement, and comfort level have gone way up. You won't see the results until the next set of pictures, though.
# 1 brown tweed jacket - Talbots
Ivory ruffled top - Janeric
Brown leather belt - Kudos
Pants - who cares! I've been meaning to toss them for a while due to just plain worn out.. Total frump factor in this photo. I'm so embarrassed!
Boots-can't read the label anymore, but they are softest leather and made in Portugal.
I like the contrast of the soft ruffled top and the tweed jacket, and the boots bookend my hair.
#2 brown cotton knit sweater - Kasper
Black jean style pants - Siyia
Black Chelsea boots - Steve Madden
#3 Black brocade jacket - NWD ( my mom sent up a package - she's been thrifting again. Jacket fits the shoulders, but the sleeves are too short, so I pushed them up. Kind of big and boxy, too. I think I'll pass it along.)
T-shirt - Reitmans
Brown Skinnies - NWD
Black belt - 30 years old...
# 4 as above with the Talbot's jacket
#5 without the jacket
This is ME! ++happiness factor.
# 6 Wool herringbone sheath - Lauren (Ralph Lauren)
Black t- shirt - Smart Set
Black leather Mary Janes - Soft
My conclusion for this week- I need a blue chambray or button down shirt. I think it would elevate any of the tweed jacket combos.
Any other suggestions for styling, or my shopping list?
