WIW 05.03 [weekend in the rain]

This weekend it's pouring and I'm spending most of it inside in my jammies :) I wore this outfit out for a casual dinner yesterday, and while I have no plans to leave the house today if I do I'll wear it again. For some reason I don't mind repeating weekend outfits but not work outfits, and more people see me on the weekends than on workdays! I enjoyed the square mix with this sweater and these flats a couple weeks ago, added to the print mix with the zebra belt, and of course pulled out my trusty weekend BF jeans. I just picked up a second pair in a sun-bleached wash, now I'm just trying to decide which length I'll keep: shorter for wearing rolled high like this, or long to wear rolled to look full length. The hat was mostly for hair laziness but also for a shot of bright color, though it did help for the short outside time too. I've been on the hunt for a cream slouchy beret for spring, having trouble finding one with the right shape and volume. No mascara on the weekends, and finished off with pinky-red lip tint to match the hat.

    (GO AWAY RAIN)

    Another killer look from our darling Aida. I love the monochromatic graphic pattern mixing and bright red beanie. Well worth repeating. xo

    I like all the graphics, and this is the perfect outfit for this weekend.  Cozy, but not too warm.  We were at U Village today, it was monsooning, and all of the umbrellas were taken!

    You look amazing Aida! Love your raspberry beret - it adds the perfect punch of colour! I'm seeing the power of the 'finds' feature - have just clicked on that lovely sweater...wonder if our Target has it....

    Such a fab weekend outfit! I love those flats, and the red hat adds the perfect pop of color.

    Ooh, love this BF outfit so very much! the pattern mix in shoes, sweater and belt is a delight! Love the spunky hat, too!

    And about rain - it rained 6 days last week and looks like it is going to rain another 5 days this week - and I have more wide hemmed jeans and pants now than tapered legs - ARGHH!

    Love it!  The flats look so casually chic!

    Great oufit! Smart and casual. I love the hat. I have a red beret, and I love it for the punch of color it gives outfits, especially on dreary days.

    What a great weekend look. I always love the playful touches you add to your outfits. The rich red beanie beret is lovely and I like the pairing with the dressier clutch, genius (taking notes ;)). Nice pattern mixing too.

    PS wish I had the eyelashes to do without mascara :)

    Very fun! I do love a slouchy beret. :D

  • Mona replied 9 years ago

    You wear the beanie so well. Great weekend look.

    YLF!

  • Aida replied 9 years ago

    Thanks very much everyone!

    Angie, this is a staple weekend formula for me. I just need more hats so I can mix things up more!

    Sveta, oh I hear you on the rain. We've got several days lined up as well. And even when Seattle dries out? I'm right in a little convergent zone that stays wetter than most of the other areas nearby, like even as close as 15 minutes away. I have slowly been working towards less ground-skimming hems over the past few years because as much as I love them, really, it's just not practical since it's wet the bulk of the year here.

    Diane, well I'm not sure if I do or don't but I am usually being rushed to get dressed so I started skipping it ;)

    Great look Aida! I love the red hat with your gray sweater.

  • K. Period. replied 9 years ago

    I love this combo! The sweater, flats and bag are all fantastic together.  And I love the pop of red from the hat.  So lovely and it really shows off your gorgeous coloring.  

  • Joy replied 9 years ago

    All the parts of this outfit are fun worn together. A great look for a rainy day or any day.

  • Ledonna N. replied 9 years ago

    Nice

  • Aida replied 9 years ago

    Thank you K, KP, Joy, and Ladywone! The red+white isn't as graphic with the gray as it would be with black, but I like the softer feel for spring ^^

  • citygirldc replied 9 years ago

    I am loving this outfit.  I like the red topper.

  • NDMom replied 9 years ago

    Aida....I love it!  Especially the belt with the shoes.  Terrific!
