I started off last weekend with this outfit, and loved it. All day. And wanted to wear it the next day. I think it's the bright/light colours are just so fresh this time of year. I didn't quite do the "light" on all the colours, as I felt that the darker cardigan added some needed contrast.
Contrast came easily with the dark version! I had seen a girl wear a very similar outfit the week before - only with a plaid trench, and bare (but incredibly tattooed) legs. I went with her flat oxford look, but when I walked past the mirror just inside our apartment building door, I decided I would have liked the outfit better with my black riding boots.
Great outfits. I liked the light one so much I was going to say that but then I saw how attractive the dark one is. They both rock, in totally different ways. Experimenting is fun, isn't it? We never know what's going to work until we try.
ReplyDeleteTrying it with the riding boots gives you an excuse to rock a cute outfit a second time. :)

I love the second look, it's bold in a totally wearable way. It really makes the light colors pop. Also I think subbing lace tights for tattooed legs is an awesome idea.
ReplyDeleteI think both outfits look great! The first one is so fresh, and the second one really shows off the blazer. Good job Cara :)

The oxfords look fine, esp with the patterned tights. I like both looks but I maaaaay copy the first!
ReplyDeleteThat pale yellowy-green blouse in the 1st outfit is a beautiful colour on you and I love the patterned tights- you look so springlike! Tattoo legs makes me want to break out my Betsey Johnson tights!
ReplyDeleteI love the second outfit so much! The green plaid is so fun! And I love the lace tights!
