| More stripes today, just for Lynne |
Not sure this outfit worked - I wore a longer tshirt under a fitted cardi (ribbed bit at the hem) to avoid any cold draughts but think the tshirt looked like a little too-short skirt.
Several colleagues made the flicky-flicky eye down to that bit when I spoke to them today, so either the proportion looked weird or they approved of the short-longness. Who can say.
It's my Friday today as I am taking tomorrow off, yippee. Visiting my in-laws for an early Christmas :-) What are you all up to this weekend?
cardi- Gant outlet
scarf - House of Fraser
jersey tshirt - Reiss
skinny jeans - Topshop
merino leggings underneath - Icebreaker
You know, I get the flicky-flicky eye (or side eye) ALL the time, I take it as a compliment! I'm sure no one could have thought your t-shirt was a dress, and the proportions aren't weird at all. It was probably an approving look-you-up-and-down look, with a trace of jealousy thrown in because you are so svelte and so cool! xxx
ReplyDeleteIt's my Friday today too! Yay!
ReplyDeleteI just got a similar cardi to this last weekend at a garage sale. I wore it with a little black dress but I'm anxious to try other things too! I think yours is cute as well!
Aww I think this look is great! I like to layer longer tees with shorter cardigans. It draws the eye up and creates a 2/3 balance (http://www.alreadypretty.com/2012/08/repost-a-crash-course-in-the-golden-ratio.html) <--- Not a rule book, but interesting concept to consider. I think so long as your shirt doesn't pass your crotch, you won't be cutting yourself off at an odd spot visually.
ReplyDeleteI also love the red scarf near your face. It keeps things bright and festive.
I'm spending the weekend getting over this flu/cold. Hopefully not passing it onto anyone else.
Fashion is full of hits and misses; sometimes, our clothes are just the things we wear to keep from being naked. :)
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for a fun time with your family.
SS, this outfit totally worked, the cool cardi, the serious pop of red, the longer layer under a shorter piece. You're just too fashionable for work. But if you're never going to wear this again, I can give you my mailing address ;P
