Gray on Gray with Citron

Hello lovelies,
After yesterday's mediocre outfit teaming gray levis with my green jacket, I have decided to try these new gray straightleg demi-curve levi's with my trusty gray faux leather bomber jacket per some of the suggestions. The rest of the outfit is gray and cream striped LLBEAN boatneck, taupe shooties, citron AT scarf and poppy red topper. Hopefully this outfit will have a little more oomph!

Opinions welcome!

New pair of straight leg jeans from the outlet mall

Hello lovelies,
No skinnies today but I am wearing a new pair of levi demi curve straight leg jeans in gray. I have teamed it with a darker gray fitted turtleneck, funky medallion, the trusty green jacket, new multi color scarf, taupe Born shooties, and new poppy raincoat.

Opinions gratefully accepted. I am not sure if the green seems too pale with the scarf to be really terrific but I do think it goes "ok".

Skinnies for the first time! WIW todya

Hi lovelies,
I went to the outlet mall this last Sunday and purchased a coat and boots which I posted yesterday. I also purchased 2 pairs of skinnies. A first for me! I wore a pair for the first time today to work. What I wore:
black levi demi curve id skinnies
navy blue BR turtleneck
black BR cardigan
black and metal necklace
black striped talbots scarf
red topper coat
black laceup bass boots

I hope this meets with approval. The pants are super comfy. I am used to a higher rise but these seem ok for a longer top.

Would this work as a shrug over a sundress- even denim?

Ask Angie: For you a dress, and my non-docs. Yellow jacket effect!

Happy Monday lovely YLFR'S

Drum roll! I am wearing a dress today after Angie gently nudged me after yesterday's post. This is not a new dress. It is an several years old AT sleeveless black shift that I wear with slings in the summer. However I'm trying it with NEW granny style boots (from the Bass outlet down from 149.00 to 23.00 dollars). I have teamed this with dark gray herringbone tights and my screaming yellow BR cardi, black and metal necklace, and my Talbots black striped jersey scarf. The topper is my new Eddie Bauer (from the outlet mall) poppy red raincoat. I really love the color. I hope this all meets with your approval. I have never worn a dress with boots and hope this work. I feel that I look a little like a "yellow jacket"!

navy and cream striped LLBEAN boatneck
blue cross hatch scarf
WHBM blue jeans
Tsubo black and gray maryjanes
Fossil woven summer bag
white ceramic peugeot watch
red earrings

Bonus shot of new scarf from shop I visited with Mom today. Does the scarf look nice with the green jacket. Not sure if you can tell but there is a touch of green in the scarf. I love all the colors in it! The remind my of an exotic middle eastern rug pattern.

Opinions and suggestions? I thought it turned out pretty nicely.

Cream colored jacket alternate styling from green which works better?

I dragged out my off white Ann Taylor cropped blazer (hand me down from Twinnie) and tried teaming it with the base outfit I wore today. I realized I haven't worn it because I haven't been sure what to wear it with or even if it is flattering. I used the same scarf I wore yesterday. I have also post the same base outfit with the trusty green jacket as an alternative.

look #1
black boatneck
black jeans
black ballet flats
black and metal necklace
green jacket
green floral scarf

alternate look
all of the above minus the green jacket with a cream Ann Taylor jacket as substitute

Do they both work well? One may be better but I am trying to work the entire closet and haven't even worn the cream jacket yet. Is it flattering? Would it work with a sundress in the summer?

Opinions and suggestions are most welcome.....and Happy Friday. It's suposed to get to 65 degrees today. Woohoo!!!

Navy and Yellow with Thrifted Patterned Scarf

Hello lovely ladies! Happy Wednesday! The sun is actually shining today and it is supposed to get to 46 degrees although it is predicted to be windy. To celebrate the sunshine I have worn:

Yellow BR cardi
Navy BR turtleneck
Blue and yellow patterned scarf (thrifted and not sure about the frump factor)
Glen plaid gray trousers
Black ecco booties
Black trench overcoat

In general does this look good together? I like the colors in the scarf but thought it might be a tad frumpy. Is it too much with the subtle glen plaid trousers? They are really almost a solid gray. Also, is the cardi better buttoned or unbuttoned?

Opinons and suggestions are always welcome!
