This is one of those outfits, that in hindsight is just kind of “ehh”. Not awful, but definitely not some of my best work. Why post it then? Because the individual elements aren’t too bad and I do like it, but next time there are things I’d do differently. I think an important part of a style blog, at least for me, is learning, experimenting, and having a good time doing it. I enjoy looking at my outfits and learning from what I got right and what could be improved.
I love these pants. They fit really well and were a fabulous bargain, but I think they would have been better served with a different top. I also really like the checked flannel shirt and the pops of color from the necklace and belt. I’m not a big fan of tucking in shirts or blazers with a lining. Both just make me feel uncomfortable and confined. I’m wearing both together here, so I think that’s part of the reason I have mixed feelings about this look. I just wasn’t comfortable. I think next time I wear these pants I’ll go with a pull-over sweater or sweatshirt or maybe a tee shirt and blazer. A white blouse would look good too, but that might be too expected with these particular pants.
Last but not least, I wanted to include a shot of one of my two favorite winter coats. This one definitely gets the most wear. I had lusted over leopard faux fur coats forever, and when my husband got me one for Christmas two years ago I couldn’t have been more excited. Not only do I love the print, but it’s also crazy warm. And that’s important since even though the polar vortex has hightailed it back to the North Pole, it’s still way too cold for my liking.
