Gritty Glamour

I’ve been wanting to try wide leg soft pants for a while and thought they would be the perfect comfortable addition to my summer wardrobe, so I ordered these from Boden.  The first pair came with the pattern unmatched so I returned for another pair after talking with customer service. The second pair matches better but not perfectly, but it’s good enough for me and much better than the first one. 

Excuse the glare, I took this at a bad time of the day.  This is the Zadig and Voltaire blouse that a few of us bought from the sale.  It feels wonderful, soft and light.  The deep V is nice for showing a cami underneath.  I’m a little on the fence because I normally am happier with solids but this pattern is so unusual and despite the volume in the torso it doesn’t look overly big to me. Love the design and bits of white in the pattern — it reminds me a little of the artist Peter Max.  

Here are the Theory Ignera wool blend trousers from the Sale:  They run small so am very glad my size was not available and I had to size up! 

I am obsessed with versions of green this summer: jade, emerald, teal, aqua so had to share what I wore yesterday: white flares with emerald tank and jade green silky duster which reverses to leopard. The leopard is a bit too much for me but I like the flash of it as a surprise lining.

I’ve been obsessed with green/teal/aqua lately will be wearing it on repeat for the rest summer. You may get sick of it!

Utility pants with floral embroidery, emerald green tank, white hightops, blue leather cuff bracelet and bag to tie in with the blue embroidery, bronze earrings with blue and green enameled flowers. Knit white bomber for the air conditioning.

Wearing Angie’s casual skirt Outfit formula #1 to a 4th of July party tonight with a teal green ruched tank and white linen skirt with a raw uneven hem. I originally had the top longer and felt like it was cutting my body in half visually so I raised it a bit. I think with a longer skirt, the top could be longer and still have nice proportions. Aqua glass earrings with embedded silver leaf made by me Murano style. Nude sandals, straw bag and a teal bracelet add some finishing touches.

Edited to add a pic with the right purse!  ;)
