In my recent quest to expand my wardrobe horizons and hopefully feel cute in the process, I've been scouring the internet identifying elements of my own personal style that would address my desire to feel feminine without compromising comfort and function.
Enter Pinterest. It didn't take very long before I started to realize that my preferences and what I was drawn to visually were pieces I currently own or have owned in the past: fedoras, sandals, tank tops, shorts and scarves...it's my combination of these pieces and accessorizing that needs a little work.
The following collections were found on Pinterest; everything about them speaks to me. The easy, relaxed style and comfort and the key, go-to pieces woven somewhere into each outfit.
Cute, right? Seeing the fashion potential and possibilities simply by accessorizing makes me actually WANT to go shopping for some new items. Considering I purged my closet during a recent cleaning frenzy, I'm thinking a shopping spree is in order! In my excitement and enthusiasm last night, I shared my style board with Phil who agreed that yes, the above collections were very much "me", but with a little bit extra. Once I had piqued his interest, naturally I used it as an opportunity to warn him that I was going to do some major shopping damage this weekend. Woot woot!
And thennnnn, he saw this photo on my style board:
Before I could even say anything about the outfit, he pointed to it and declared: "absolutely not". Really? Personally, I love everything about the outfit: minimal pieces, soft and draping cotton, neutral colors and a slight bohemian flair. According to my husband, it is wrong on multiple levels. It is unflattering, looks like curtains and the maxi length is "aging".
Thoughts?
great sets! LOVE the first three the best!
ReplyDeletei think you could wear that outfit. ME, never.
i say, try it on, and your husband will see...you can rock any style!
xo
My hubby hates long, flowy skirts and dresses too, but I love them! Must be a hubby thing! ;-)
ReplyDeleteperhaps its just the gaunt ghostly looking gal in the outfit?
ReplyDeleteI am in love with all of these. I am staring out the window at rain and wishing I was in a pair of shorts and strappy sandals!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with Phil on this one, that last outfit should be deleted from your board. But the other ones? LOVE and I can totally see you in any of them :).
ReplyDeleteLOVE all the top outfits. I could do without the last one w/ the maxi, but I think the right body type could pull it off.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE them all!! great outfits. especially the mint green!!
ReplyDeletexxoo
G HATES my maxi skirt. Said I looked like a plig. Gotta love that right? I still wear it but I'm fully aware just how much he can't stand it. haha
ReplyDeleteEven though all the outfits make me see you, I can actually physically picture you in the white button up, shorts, fedora combo. funny. all this to say, we'd be getting the same things cause that's my style 100%

My daughter just looked at this post and asked me to send her your website addy because she said those were the cutest clothes ever. I absolutely love them. The first two are my favorites and I can totally see you wearing those and looking fabulous in them. You would look fabulous in a brown paper bag though.
ReplyDeleteOk so I love the sets!!! And then the last picture I kind of turned my nose up at. Until I looked at it again. And again.... and now I kind of like it. A romantic night out to dinner & walk on the beach? Adorable. A Saturday at the market? Super cute. So it has kind of grown on me. Maybe Phil just needs to see it a few more times! :p
ReplyDeletePretty! I love it all.
ReplyDeleteVery cute outfits! Allan would say the same thing about the last outfit too!
ReplyDeleteI want every one of these outfits. Even the last one. But I can see how guys wouldn't be into the maxi thing.
ReplyDeleteOMG, Pinterest is so addictive! If I had to pick one as my favorite, it would have to be the last photo (taupe tank top). I think that's most likely my style.
ReplyDeleteThose all remind me of you Ang:) Even the last one, you could totally pull that off!!! Miss you and hope you are doing well, xo

All those outfits are totally you and I think would fit your lifestyle beautifully. As for the last one...I might agree with Phil, a little, I always find that it looks nicer on the models then it does on me...but you could probably pull it off Angie <3
ReplyDeleteI love all those outfits. Makes me want to go shopping too!
ReplyDeleteLove your style girl! :-)~Blessings
