WIW 01.01-04

January 6, 2011

New year, new camera (for xmas, but still)! I never got around to posting, like, all my December WIWs, but they'll be up on my Weardrobe site later this week (I could do a 'best of' if anyone's interested ;) ).

  1. Worn shopping with a friend to help her find some heels (and a new sweater for me which I'll wear next week). These lovely suede gloves were a gift from my husband.
  2. Worn to work, then out for tacos with friends. Showing off one of my new pairs of boots I bought myself for xmas (and a new scarf which was a gift from my folks)! I definitely need more math inspired shirts.
  3. Worn to work. Inspired by this look but I didn't feel like wearing my navy blazer so I swapped the colors on top. Another gifted pair of gloves, from my MIL. Also new boots (though I wore them a couple times, just hadn't posted a WIW with them yet).

Comments, critiques, thoughts and questions welcome!

    Great outfits, Aida! you really have a knack for making casual tees look stylish. I'm going to have to try and layer them like you. Lovely scarves, fab boots and killer coats too.

    love your casual, put together look. Your style looks so effortless and yet so fab. Love the new boots and turquoise gloves.

    Love your looks! The boots are wonderful!

  • Angie replied 13 years ago

    Such lovely gifts and spot on too! Fab outfits :)

    I really do love you in cobalt blue, Aida. It's KILLER on you. Does hubby like THAT colour?

  • Joy replied 13 years ago

    Aida, you have a wonderful style! Thank you for posting your outfits. I love how you put the pictures of each together to give us the whole look in one screen.

    Congrats on the new camera! I really like all of these, but the first outfit is especially eye-catching on you. Something about the colors and the layering/accessories is just spot-on.

    Looking good - I love all the blue! How did all of the boot purchases work out?

  • Lynne replied 13 years ago

    Thanks everyone, nice to read all your lovely comments after waking up with a sore throat. Made my day! Also glad everyone likes the boots, I've been neglecting buying them for so long I had some serious nerves and am glad I finally committed to these (and 2 others which you'll soon see!).

    The cowboy boots are from Target (here's a link), are actually leather and are totally worth it for under $40. Very comfy and well made. I snagged the only pair I saw in this lighter brown, most of them are a pretty dark brown.

    Kelly - I find that 2 tees looks a bit clumpy, but a cami+tee works really nicely (though both have to be thin).

    Angie - Hubby does like the blue! He likes most blues as long as there isn't a touch of green in it and they're not too bright :) I'm going to be doing a closet sweep with mainly my taste in mind later this month, should be interesting.

    Joy - I started with photographing only the outfit but found I was neglecting outerwear. Having them side by side helps me evaluate my outfits as well. I've found I like having the outer look be totally different from the inner look, though I'm not sure this is the best idea.

    Una - Of the 4 boots I posted, I kept 3 (the gray ones here, the black high heel ones and the tall brown ones). I replaced the one I returned (brown boot with the foldover flap, which confused me) with the cowboy boots above. Pretty successful I think!

    Lynne - I'll do a post on how I edit and collage my photos this week or next. I use Photoshop, which I know not everyone has or can get, so I'll look into some other options to suggest before posting.
