In addition to that Yaya maxi-sweater, I also found this merino/cashmere blend fitted, cropped turtleneck in a slate-y jewel-toned blue. Paired with new, spring shoes (some nondescript brand I've never heard of and can't remember the name of) - which were on sale for $40.00 - I hope I've got a youthful, but luxe, thing happening here. The sweater (Karoo by Mark Eisen)was $300.00 on sale for $79.00. Oh, and those are the H & M wide jeans I was going on about a couple of weeks ago...

Yes, you've got it going on. Those bell sleeves are really nice. Cool shoes, too!
ReplyDeleteWhatever did you decide to do about shoes with your olive dress?
ReplyDeleteThe sweater is sex-ay!
ReplyDeleteOh I love the pants and they look adorable with your shirt!
ReplyDeleteThat sweater colour is so lovely on you and it's a great shape too.
ReplyDeleteCool sweater , jeans, and shoes. And the glasses rock the look too.
ReplyDeleteEnc: Glad you like the shoes. They're very "different" for me. I'm not at my most creative with the shoes which is why I haven't really done anything more on the olive dress situation. Of course I will, as the weather warrants it. I think I'm going to go with either chunky strappy (which I think was Miss C's suggestion?) or muted red wedgish thing.
ReplyDeleteMiss White, WendyB, Miss C and Nadine: Thanks for the positive comments. I've never seen a turtleneck with that cropped shape and bell sleeves before (you know I'm nuts about the bell) so it was like kismet!
I love wearing wacky shoes with otherwise calm clothing. Try it, you'll like it!
ReplyDeleteSweet $300 to $79! That has me dancing all around. I love incredible deals like that.
ReplyDelete(Incidentally i still haven't bought that skirt yet. Going to DC this weekend so I might.)
i'm loving the trumpet sleeves.
ReplyDeletea lot!
Very nice! I love the shape of the sweater sleeves - and the colour.
ReplyDeleteKitten and Bronwyn: Thanks for your positive commentary on the sweater sleeves. I love them too. And Kitten - trumpet sleeve is just the term. I couldn't think of that when I was writing this post.
ReplyDeleteRiz: I know. Isn't it a genius discount? I so love a deal it's like a sickness.
