I tried my hand at a little pattern mixing one day over the Labor Day weekend. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I'm sick of my summer clothes, so I tried a remix (ala
Jan Graham-McMillen aka Fort Smith Stylista
) with a sleeveless striped green top and a lightweight print cardigan. (Thanks Jan!) Not spectacular, but OK. I was a little too warm with the sweater, so off it came half-way through the day. I decided to go jewelry free that day! The beading on the top was enough. I wear a lot of Talbots for two main reasons: 1) it's easily available in my small midwest town and most importantly 2)
most of their clothing fits my petite frame without alteration.
The details:
Top: Talbots
Sweater: Talbots
Jeans: Jones New York
Sandals: Ciao Bella
Where I wore it: Out and about Labor Day weekend (including antique shopping)
This is another outfit I tried that weekend. I don't think I like this length of pant on me, or maybe it's the shoe/pant combination. I have a love/hate relationship with pants, but more on that in a future post.
This outfit worked better with the heat and humidity. I love this shirt, although I see that I had the belt misaligned! The brown on off-white print helps to communicate early autumn while the sleeveless cotton keeps me cool.
The details:
Top: Jones New York
Jean Capris: Talbots
Shoes: Jessica Bennett
Bracelets: Unknown
Necklace: Old and unknown
Where I wore it: Out and about on Labor Day weekend
Good Morning Norma. Wow! Both outfits are great. I can't make up my mind which one I like best. I like them both. The one with the green top is so cheery. Casual yet chic. The other one is casual yet elegant. I really love booth. You look absolutely beautiful. Looove your necklace in the second photo.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day.

Thank you, Lenya, for your kind comments and for being so supportive!
DeleteThe top outfit is very cute, patterns work really well together and I love the colors.
ReplyDeleteI am also crazy about the pattern, color, and belt detail of the second top. I know what you mean about pants. I have pants this length and they're not a favorite on me (although I do wear them) becuase my legs are short. I prefer them to hit closer to the ankle. I need to be more aware of that fact when buying in the future.
You look great in both outfits and I love your sense of style, Norma. Hope you have a lovely weekend.
Thank you Lisa! And thank you, too, for being so supportive and kind with your comments!
