So you might all remember my first shot at this outfit. It was a weekend attempt, and while I loved wearing it, I hated how it photographed. I knew I wanted to give it another shot, so I thought I'd attempt it as a work-appropriate outfit (it doesn't take much, just a belt, cardigan, and fancier sandals). Once again I loved wearing it. The fabrics and shapes are so flowy and comfortable, and I couldn't help but feel confident and powerful all day (that's what bright colors will do to you!). And happily, I was thrilled with the way it photographed this time. Something about adding the cardigan and belt seemed to ground the bright patterns and flowy shapes. It felt, and looked, fun but structured, bright but organized, sassy but practical. I'll probably wear it again on a weekend because I just love this combination so much, but I think the work version is my favorite. What about you? Which do you prefer?
And can I just take a moment to absolutely gush about these shoes? I won them as part of a Tweet My Style contest a few weeks ago. They're BC Footwear, which is a branch of, or owned by, Seychelles (correct me if I'm wrong on that, or if any of you know better). I love the woven leather straps and subtle cognac color, but I'm really, really sold on how comfortable they are. I took them to Colorado and wore them literally all week (well, not hiking, but everywhere else). I couldn't be more excited to have a nice, comfortable pair of flat sandals. I'm fully planning to wear them into the ground.
Don't mind the bandaids. This was taken on their first wearing, and I was trying to break in the leather.
I want to thank you all for your wonderful questions on my Between Laundry Days FAQ post! I'm really excited to get a couple of answers posts set up. There's no real end date for it, so if you still have a quandary, let me know! Oh, and you only have two more days to enter the Orient Watch giveaway!! I'll pick a winner at random on Friday, July 16.
