Wished for Spring But Got a Winter Storm Instead

Hello all you lovelies!
When I dressed this morning I had Spring in my heart. It was above 40 degrees (farenheit) and I was sure it would be lovely. By the time I got to work I felt like I had been through a winter storm (sudden sleet and hail). I felt like I was driving on a giant slushy! So much for positive Springy thoughts. I think I look springy though. Your opinions are always appreciated!

Light green denim jacket
gray and cream stripe LLBEAN boatneck. (one of three)
Eddie Bauer gray trouser cords (I am replacing these with something trimmer)
Tsubo black and gray sport maryjanes/tennies
new funky black and metal circles necklace

Difficult to style colored denim jacket!

Hello lovely YLFR'S
I have avoided wearing this jacket because I find the color and cut difficult to style. I have attempted to work with it as best I can but I don't know if it will do. Is the color ok?

Checkerboard scarf
BR gray turtleneck
Black jeans
Black boots
light green denim jacket

I don't have a lot emotionally invested in the piece so please do feel free to make suggestions.

Retro shirt with BR cardigan Look ok?

Hi lovelies,
I went thrifting on Sunday (after I went to a new import place) where I met Murphy the darling Jack Russell terrier.
At the thrift store I found a number of shirts with interesting color and/or patterns. I wasn't too worried about how they would look standalone since I plan to wear them under vnecks or cardigans.
For work today I have teamed a gap green paisley button down(one of the thrifted items) with my new BR yellow cardi, Black Rafaella wide leg work pants, a pair of Ecco black booties and my faux leather gray moto jacket (I remove this when I get to work). Does this work ok?

Thanks for opinions.

Exploring new Import Store and Bonus Shot of New Furfriend!

Hi Lovely YLFR'S

Took my twin to an import store I hadn't visited before. Lots of beautiful reclaimed teak and stone and well, it was gorgeous. We had a great time and met a new furfriend (whose picture I have included). He is 17 years old, a Jack Russell long hair and his name is Murphy!

I wore my gap navy polkdot shirt
LLbean cream and navy boatneck stripe
WHBM blue jeans
Cold Water creek brown boots
Ann Taylor citron scarf
Eddie Bauer khaki field jacket.

Opinions are always appreciated!

more tucking and a menswear look?

Hi dear lovely YLFR'S
Trying for a buttoned up approach. Gray BR turtleneck, black jeans, black Etienne Aignier knee high boots, purple Talbots shirt mult-patterned purple scarf, Black BR cardigan sweater. Opinions please? Do I look too like it's too much black?

Happy Friday

First attempt at tucking knee high boots in jeans

Hi lovely ladies!
I have a pair of Etienne Aignier knee high riding boots that I purchased a couple of months ago. I haven't found any skirts or skinnies that I like on me yet but I really wanted to wear them with a pair of pants tucked in. I teamed them with:
Gray turtleneck
Gray faux leather moto jacket
Black straight leg jeans
black and gray jersey striped scarf

My question is, do they bunch too much at the knee with this jean? Opinions on the overall look?

New LLBEAN Striped Boatneck recommended by MaryK

Hello lovelies,
I received my new striped boatneck yesterday and wanted to try it out. I have styled it with black jeans and old ballet flats plus a gray talbots sweater for inside (is it better buttoned or unbuttoned?) and my trusty gray faux leather moto jacket for outside and inside if necessary. Is the fit of the boatneck ok? Is this all too plain looking without a scarf? I don't really have a scarf I like with this yet plus I wanted to see the line of the boatneck. I am trying to channel my Parisian Gamin look as best as I can given I don't have a shall we say "waiflike" figure. Got the hair down though! Opinions and sugestions appreciated as always.

Gray and zebra on a gray Boise day

Hello to all the fabulous YLFR's on Saturday,
Here is what I am wearing today. White house black market jeans, ecco black ankle boots, BR gray vneck with cheap brown cami underneath, Vertigo Paris, short black trench, gray zebra scarf (courtesy of TjMaxx). It is comfy and still looks fairly put together I think. Hubs nixed my red pom pom scarf with this look in favor of the zebra scarf.
