Welcome to my first ever weekly link-up! Looking back over some of my old posts, I realized that I tend to keep it pretty casual on Wednesdays. So I thought: why not start a weekly link-up?
I originally wanted to wear heels (my shoe of choice) but heels didn't really make this outfit seem too casual. But I guess compared to a cocktail dress it would be pretty casual, heels or not.
I actually wanted to wear black pants but somehow the whole look was just off. Do you ever mentally put an outfit together and it looks fabulous but then once you put it on it looks terrible? That's what happened here. My boys were already waiting in the car (with my hubby!) so I felt frantic trying to decide what to wear. Jeans are always a safe choice.
You want to know the best way to make your legs look long and slim? It isn't by wearing flats with skinny jeans! Sheesh, I don't have the longest legs in the world but they aren't as stumpy as they appear in these pictures. I think that is why I always opt for heels.
Linking up with Because Shanna Said So for Random Wednesdays.
Make sure you are a follower of this blog before linking up. It would just be the nice thing to do :) And if you would kindly link back to my blog in your post I would be one happy girl. Have a great day!

I put together outfits in my head and then end up changing them all the time too. Good choice on going with the flats, btw:)
ReplyDeleteStunning and so chic!!! Great pictures as well!
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous time!

Happens to me as well, when I wake up in the morning or go to bed at night I get some amazing outfit ideas and combinations, then when I try it on it just looks off.

Love the houndstooth. And the jeans are perfect. I definitely go through the same thing where I plan out an outfit and then put it on and it just doesn't work. Love the idea of this linkup. I didn't get a chance to put anything together this week but I'm looking forward to linking up next time! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this combination - so casual chic.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely going to have to re-create this look! Everything I love from the distressed denim, black and white, red lips, it's perfection! You look great:)
ReplyDeleteLOVE that blazer and that clutch Amy - so pretty!

I always put together an outfit in my head and then it just doesn't work... frustrates my husband more than me :) I like the distressed jeans with your blazer and top- it keeps it from looking overworked. And I love your shoes! Are those patent leather smoking slippers??
ReplyDeleteThat happens to me all the time that I think an outfit will look great and then it doesn't when I actually try it on! I think the houndstooth works perfectly with the ripped jeans. PS Just linked up :)

You always do such an amazing job layering! Love your blouse and shirt! And I don't think your legs look stumpy at all, but I always feel that way too when I wear flats because I'm used to being in heels!
ReplyDeleteGreat top!

Love the mix of houndstooth with the blazer! So cute! And I wear the flats and skinny jeans look all the time... because I'm horrendous at walking in heels. C'est la vie.

Love this! Gorgeous!!
ReplyDeletelove the outfit! i'm a sucker for the deconstructed denim with dressy tops! i do the same thing where something looks good in my head, and then i look in the mirror, or at a pic and think "ugh! that looks awful!" he hee! i really like the flats on you, but i always feel the same about my legs when i put them on, maybe we're just too critical with ourselves?
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing!
Amy I always feel the same way. I always thinking look stubby so I wear heels to sleep! You really look great! Must be one of those things we just imagine in our head, but you look great. You really nailed it!!
