Ensemble message: My intent was to go for a sloppy preppy look today (if that makes any sense). I saw this picture on Chictopia and was totally inspired, but I think I fell short. It all started with the rolled khakis and sandals, which was so casual that I wanted to add structure. In comes the cropped trapeze blazer, which in these pictures makes me a look a little frumpy*. I also would prefer a little more panache in the way of patterns, or an interesting texture.
Any one have suggestions on how I can re-mix the cropped khakis? Think I should go for total copy-cat look and wear a cardigan next time?
* I got a tripod over the weekend! Unfortunately, I took about 7 pictures total before my camera's battery died (hence no jewelry close-ups), so I’m not even sure this is the best angle I could have taken. I don’t think I’m that frumpy IRL, haha! And I only say that because when I inspected myself in the office bathroom mirror, I appear more polished than in this pics. I think I need to explore different areas of my condo, or a new backdrop altogether…
