So! I bought the J.Crew Tippi sweater I mentioned wanting in my fall wishlist and I have to say, it's kind of great. Keeps it's shape, no pilling, and I love the wide boatneck on it. I bought a couple of these Old Navy t-shirts to wear underneath because they work perfectly with the 3/4 sleeves. I've worn this sweater a ton, mostly with jeans, but I thought it's slightly prim cuteness would pair well with skirts so I tried that:
And yeah, I don't know. Something about the proportions seems off? Never fear! Because I am a TOTAL FASHION GENIUS I tried scrunching it up a little:
That looks better. Not quite the image I had in my head but at least I look more proportionate. (And before y'all are like, "PUT A BELT ON IT!" I just can't do the belt-over-sweater thing. It drives me insane.) The skirt I'm wearing is Ann Taylor from a few years back, but this one is good. They do nice animal print over there. Also, sometimes terrible animal print.
My shoes are Chie Mihara (old, but this pair is a good similar) and my bag is the same old damn Marc by Marc Hillier Hobo that I will carry forever and ever because it's the best. The end.
It does look better scrunched up. Great outfit!
ReplyDeleteLooks great. Why do you wear the t-shirt under it? Is it itchy?
ReplyDeleteAll wool is itchy to me! I am a sensitive flower.
