Man, I have been struggling there for a few weeks to strike a balance in my wardrobe and I think I have finally gotten to a good part! I totally love this outfit!
It pairs easily with a denim jacket for the commute and a black blazer for my teaching session today. And flats!
High and Low! Although I paid low prices for all!

You look beautiful, Lyn, but you always look feminine and polished. This is every bit the consistently fab Lyn I'm expecting, but you're feeling, "Yes, I finally got it!"
What makes this outfit soar in the happiness quotient? What makes it superior to the other recent WIW in your mind? I ask because I think it will help me give more meaningful feedback to you in the future.

Yay! Love the B&W. You look so chic!

B&W, but it's soft and not bossy. You look great!

Thanks ladies!
I was thinking about what Beth Ann brought up all day (great minds think alike) and I find it really difficult to pin down what I like about this outfit - and I think Joy hit it on the head! I like things that are soft and approachable, but not very bossy. I think that reflects the type of person I am striving to be.
Objectively, I love pussy-bow tops and flare skirts, and most flares I need a belt to keep on - so yay! :)
I also realized this outfit is also very flexible - I can add different toppers or different shoes, and it's not fussy at all this way and I love it!!! Simple and easy to fall back on! "Dependable"?

My kind of prices! I like your assessments, too. Dependable, flexible, approachable... sounds like you!

Lovely!
Ack, super cute!
Beth Ann replied 10 years ago
There you go! Soft and approachable makes good sense to me --- isn't your area of speciality psychiatry? That's a perfect look when you're dealing with people in crisis. So many ways to project that rubric: color, silhouette, playful elements, etc.
It also seems that you like outfits that offer lots of options for styling, rather than something that seems to demand to be used one way.

Ohhh this is one of my favourite outfits on you! I especially like the necklace peeking out below the neckline. Actually I like all the elements so it's hard to pick a specific one.
and I definitely think you've nailed "soft and approachable"!

This is lovely! I like that Beth Ann encouraged the analysis. It really does help to think further than I like this when analysing - in the long run I think that sort of analysis will pay off!
