I bought these booties to wear under pants, back when I wore pants, and back when you wore your booties with only pants (not with skirts or dresses). This is their first pants-free outing.Here they are with pants-------->
Jacket, Forever 21 (embellished by me). Zigzag dress, Lipstick. Navy dress, To The Max. Tights, We Love Colors. Booties, Style & Co. Necklace, Anthropologie (it broke and I fixed it.)
This is the second time I’ve worn the zigzag dress under another. The frock’s cut and length work well under a shorter, looser dress.
These two photos well illustrate white balance correction! The white balance is set for flash in the first photo and for incandescent (+3) in the second.
I went back and forth on the jacket today. The addition of the blazer seemed like too much brown (and I didn’t have time to change the tights/booties), but the outfit was unstructured without it. What do you think?
One of my favorite jokes is to ask someone, during a meal, “What are you eating under there?”
They respond, “Under where?”
Then, I laugh like a hyena and shriek, “Underwear?! You’re eating underwear? Gross!”
I have an unsophisticated sense of humor.
Love the embellishment on the jacket. Very clever.
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing the use of the white balance. I really need to learn to use my camera better and appreciate your tips.
I adore this outfit - the layering of the dresses is such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteone of these days, i really will get around to trying out your camera tips!
ReplyDeleteI think the jacket adds more structure if you are wearing it to work, but I work in such a professional environment I have to be aware of those things. :)
ReplyDeleteHah! I had several pairs of ankle boots that I bought to wear with pants, back when I wore pants, too! Sadly, mine were extremely unflattering with skirts and got donated.
ReplyDeleteThat zigzag dress is dynamite - so perfect peeking out from beneath another dress.
The booties look hot with a skirt. I think the jacket looks great, although it is kind of a lot of brown - maybe change the colour of the tights and leave the jacket? But overall I love this look.
ReplyDeleteLove the Zig Zag!

Your zigzag dress is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteTeam layering! You are so creative. I love this.
ReplyDeleteI love the outfit without the jacket, it has a sort of bohemian, peasant feel, very pretty!
ReplyDeleteMaybe a belt around the ribcage would be a good alternative for the jacket?
ReplyDeleteUntil this post I never thought about wearing my ankle boots that I bought for pants as the current booties. Now I'll have to give this a try!
