Fair Isle Cardigan, White Jeans and Pearl Baubles.
I am such a Fashion Faux Pas lately with my choice of Pants, aint't I? LOL Bright Tropic Floral Pants (in a light material, nevertheless) yesterday and White Jeans today. Not quite the Pants for Fall now, are they? But I am not one to follow stupid fashion rules or whatnot. Now I wouldn't go as far as wearing Shorts and Sandals (bare-legged) on 50 degree weather or less. But with that said, I love the Dark/Tweed Material type of Shorts paired with Tights, for Fall.
So, earlier on today (for work) I wore the Outfit you see posted here. My job has a very relaxed dress code. I am in my office few hours during the day and I spent most of the day with clients, otherwise. Today was a little different though since half of the day I spent teaching my little kids English. Anyway, this B+W Fair Isle Sweater is a favorite of mine for Fall (and Winter). During Fall, when it is not too cold out it replaces outerwear for sure. It is made out of wool, after all. I layered a Chic, Black Silk Tunic underneath (which I love) and finally wore my White Jeans. These Jeans are a pretty thick material, so they didn't get worn during Summer. For jewelry I am wearing the Newest Trend in Earrings - the Bobble Pearl Studs (I paid 2 bucks for mine), and a New Statement Necklace - a Cluster Pearl and Black Flower Necklace, that I recently scooped up for 9 bucks. To finish off, I tied a Silk Houndstooth Navy+White Scarf to my Awesome MK Bag. The Navy on the Scarf plays off the Navy of my Oxfords and of course my Red Lipstick matches the Purse. Lots of Black and White and some Navy and Red in this Outfit, but it worked, no?

Ada, you look very lovely in this outfit! And I'm totally with you about not following 'fashion rules'. I think the white pair of jeans work great throughout the whole year & those shoes are to die for. I've been looking for a pair and tried a pair from Zara last week but made my feet look very wide.
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up with Passion4Fashion LinkUp this week - I'm co-hosting with Rachel & I was so happy to see you there!
well done on your feature at FabulousLinda.
Have a great week

This is one of my favorite outfits of yours! The necklace and cardigan are adorable together!
ReplyDeleteI adore a good black and white look and this one definitely falls into that category. Your sweater and necklace are simply gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great look, the sweater is my favorite... or maybe the necklace... in any case, love the entire look! Hope your job is going well, now that you've been there a little longer.
ReplyDeleteI need to wear my white jeans more. I just always get so dirty. Lol. That necklace is very pretty, definitely a statement piece. Thanks for linking up at Who's Wearing What Wednesdays at Pastries, Pumps and Pi!
