WIW : Slouchy & Colour!

Good morning All,

It's a cold but beautiful day in downtown Bendigo:)

I think I may have only worn these pants once before. These are my winter weight "slouchy" pants. Not particularly slouchy over the tummy but the leg tapers and is ruched at the ankle. I can semi tuck into them but decided to go with the "untuck" today:).

This jacket/cardigan/wrap 'thing' is possibly 10 years old. It can be worn like this or 'upside down' which turns it into a long draped jacket. It's one of those items I think may just be a forever item in my wardrobe. I don't wear it a lot but when I do I really in joy it.

The necklace is new and was purchased in the current Myer sales. I love pearls but often find them a little too conservative looking on me, so I couldn't pass this up as I loved the modern design.

Outfit today is:
Slouchy winter pants - Katies
Cobalt oversized tee - Kmart (same as my grey marle one)
Cardigan/jacket - from Chocolat Boutique at home in Melb
Booties - my beloved puppies! (Hush Puppies)

Have a great day, and thanks for looking. Comments and suggestions are always much appreciated.

xxxDeborah

    Great burst of color!  I do love the cobalt and black combo.  That's a great sweater!

  • lyn* replied 10 years ago

    Your sweater sounds like it's a real winner and it brings a casual elegance to your outfit. Loving the cobalt!

  • Jaime replied 10 years ago

    Fantastic colors and shapes on you! Agree about pearls and these are winners. 

  • Angie replied 10 years ago

    Beautifully serious in a playful and arty way.

    The pearls are stunning with the blue!

    KILLER, Debs :)

    Love it!

    Great necklace!

  • Joy replied 10 years ago

    Cobalt is beautiful on you. Very arty and elegant

  • carolbee replied 10 years ago

    Love the cobalt with the black. The modern pearls look great.

    I have a pearl necklace and studs that DH gave me, which I love, but never seem wear. They seem too formal to go with my casual outfits, yet I see pictures all the time of casual outfits with pearls and it looks great. Something else for me to work on.

  • Deborah replied 10 years ago

    Carol, why not set your self a goal to wear your pearl necklace one a week for the next month?? And show us :)  I think I love formal jewellery worn casually the best.

    Lovely Deborah. Pearls with an edge are just you :)

  • Lyn D. replied 10 years ago

    Oh, the pearls are lovely!
    I must have missed these when I was scouring the sale at Myer!
    Always love cobalt with black or white, and the pearls give a simple oversized tee a great 'high-end' feel and finish the outfit FAB-ly!!

    Gorgeous Deb! I totally get that about pearls. I also have a string - although quite modern in design, that I always feel just look too conservative for me!

    Great look, Deb!

    Super look! Love the arty drapes and your new necklace is fab.

  • Suz replied 10 years ago

    You look gorgeous in the blue. And what a fantastic new necklace. I share your feeling about pearls completely. I love them, but find they make me look more conservative than I would like. This would be the perfect compromise!

    B E A U T I F U L ! ! You look stunning, Deborah. You wear oversize tops so well and all pieces seem really simple, but together they become strong and elegant

  • Eliza replied 10 years ago

    Deborah- love this color combo on you. Like the simultaneous ease and elegance as well. You do it so well.

  • Transcona Shannon replied 10 years ago

    Love this! That cobalt color just sings on you and of course, your beautiful layering is just perfect again. That pearl necklace is fabulous - love the modern flair mixed with the pearls.
