Post pics of your favorite outfits

Goldenpig, I see you have branched out to Tory Burch! I love it!

The TB skirt is fabulous! Wish I could see the TB dress in its entirety! The last outfit is my fave. I like the rocker edge.

I also like how you paired the reddish sandals with the grey tights. Daring but cool.

My first time trying Tory Burch--found it on sale over the holidays. I LOVE the skirt--it's similar to an Anthro skirt I saw but much better quality, nicer colors/fabric and more interesting design. And the dress is really fun, too.

Since you asked, arivecchi, here's a pic of the navy shirt dress by itself, with my red bow belt, red pumps and red tote bag. I was worried it was too young and sweet looking especially with the white hearts all over, which is why I decided to try toughening it up. Totally different vibe, isn't it?


Here's some close-up pics of the dress and accessories:

GP, love the orange Anthro dress. I have a similar style dress, shorter, and blue, from Max Studio. The way the fabric "slices" lay is actually very slimming.

Here's the Anthro Cord dress I got. It's a darker orange and fine whale, which I like. I don't have brown boots (other than my bare traps), so thinking of wearing it w/gray boots (gray tights?), and I have a wide, gray suede belt with laser cutout pattern from Gap. IDK. I'm sure brown accents would look better.

Dr. Sally, nice dress! You naughty girl for posting an active eBay listing with 17 minutes left, tee hee! Too bad I'm on "shop your closet" now. I never thought of orange and grey together but it sounds like an interesting combo! Can you post a pic of you wearing it with the grey belt, tights and boots? I'm so curious now to see how it looks on you!

Goldenpig, thanks for the pic of the dress! It is really pretty. I adore her patterns. I don't have any TB dresses and I really covet one! The boots are A-MAZING! Love them!

This is so cute. Yes, it would look fantastic with brown tights and boots or all black accessories! Try it with your gray accessories and report back though! Could be an interesting combo!

Here are some images for inspiration!

So I have a question for the fashionistas...how do you spice up a boring outfit?

Like GP, I'm trying to make use of the things in my closet. Prior to my recent fashion awakening I was pretty boring...basic colors and basic safe styles. So how do I take those basics and make them more fun/interesting?

For example yesterday I wore navy slacks, a white button down with a subtle navy and sage stripe, and a sage crewneck sweater. You could see just a pop of the shirt at the collar and cuffs. The sweater is a plain knit and falls just below the waist so too short to belt. I'd consider this a basic LE catalog kind of look. I like the colors together and the pieces fit well and are comfy but the total look is just meh.

How do I take something basic like that from drab to fab?

Scarves, belts, jewelry and shoes!

I was wearing a boring sweater and cords for work yesterday and then I added this:



The outfit quickly went from drab to interesting and looked more polished.

By the way, for those of you who have the LE canvas gray poncho, I love it with a long wool skirt as well!

Love that necklace, A!
ITA w/scarves and jewelry. I've also found that a pop of color with a colorful winter coat and coordinating pattern scarf really helps make things more interesting. I have cobalt blue and dark orange winter coats that i love. I always get compliments on them. I'd love to get a dark red wool coat as well. Interesting purses also seem to elevate an outfit as well, IMO.
