WIW: white jeans, blue mesh sweater

October 5, 2014

This outfit felt good for a warm fall day. Happiness factor: high! Just a couple of days ago, my neck was too cold in a wool sweater with a ballet neck, worn over a cami. Today I comfortably wore a cotton open weave sweater over a cami. Go figure!

The outfit, worn for a day off:
White bootcut jeans (Lucky, Lolita), dark blue open-weave sweater (RDI) over ivory tank (Shimera); pewter cutout belt (Fossil); metallic suede high-top sneakers (Paul Green); teal short trench coat (Ambition); taupe shoulder bag (Aunts & Uncles).

All thoughts and suggestions are welcome. Thanks for looking!

    Great outfit and I agree dressing for this weather makes me feel schizophrenic at times. Wool one day followed by an open weave sweater the next - Personally transitional dressing is not my favorite. 

  • Dee replied 9 years ago

    The open weave sweater with the white jeans looks perfect for fall. Cozy but not too warm. And I love these bootcuts every time you post them!

  • Firecracker (Sharan) replied 9 years ago

    Thanks for the commiseration, frannieb!
    Dee, I'm flattered that you remember and like the jeans!

  • Joy replied 9 years ago

    This weather is so hard to dress for. It was chilly today but will be back in the 80's or 90's in a few days. I feel like I have clothes everywhere, not knowing what to pack away. Our 80's are usually hot and humid. I love the column of white with the open knit. Great outfit.

  • Firecracker (Sharan) replied 9 years ago

    Thanks, Joy. Somehow, this was just the right combination of layers for today. I probably didn't even need the jacket on my walk to the grocery store, but I wore it open and wasn't too warm.

    Wow, you look wonderful!  These proportions are great on you, and I love the unusual shade of blue......I can see why you love wearing this.  Two happy thumbs up :).

  • jackiec replied 9 years ago

    Great outfit, Sharan! As usual your palette is swoon worthy....

  • Angie replied 9 years ago

    Absolutely Fabulous, Sharan. No wonder you loved this outfit so much. That open weave sweater is gorgeous on you. 

    Can we thank our weather angels for more glorious weather? xo

  • Mellllls replied 9 years ago

    Great outfit! Love the trench. I hear you about the weather. I was out last night from 6:30 until 11. 68 when I left the house, 43 when we returned.

  • Deb replied 9 years ago

    You've created a great outfit once again! I really enjoy your style and these looks definitely work well for you.

  • Elly replied 9 years ago

    I love the coat on you. For some reason I like the open weave sweaters better over a darker column in the fall otherwise they read summery to me. Transition weather is hard though. We went from hot to cold overnight and now have one day where it is freezing in my building (wool socks and boots, sweater and jacket indoors and still cold) then the next day where I'm sweating in my l/s tee and sneakers by afternoon, but all the mornings start the same. Bah humbug!

    Super fab!!  I love the shoes!

  • replied 9 years ago

    I love this! Those soft blues and teals really suit you and I like how the cami 'peeps' through the mesh of your fab sweater.

  • Suz replied 9 years ago

    Superb outfit! And yay for bare-necked happiness!! :) 

    I think you and I should really exploit the warm days with the lower necklines. 

  • Debbie replied 9 years ago

    Love this on you. The open weave sweater looks great.

  • Firecracker (Sharan) replied 9 years ago

    Thanks, everyone! I appreciate the ideas and encouragement.

    Elly, yes, I can see the summery look here. I was hoping to balance it with the closed shoes. It was a sunny day, so I didn't really feel out of place.

  • Beth Ann replied 9 years ago

    Love the easy fit in your pants.  I know you searched hard to find them!

    You look terrific for an early fall day!

  • Elizabeth P replied 9 years ago

    This is absolutely gorgeous. Have to admit I was a bit disappointed to see the sweater is no longer available...

    And I'm with you on the dressing struggles. Somehow the temps and what seems "right" don't align.

  • Jaime replied 9 years ago

    Fantastic combination! 

  • Firecracker (Sharan) replied 9 years ago

    Thanks, Beth Ann. I've surprised myself by wearing the flares as much as the boyfriend white jeans I bought this year. I like these a lot better than the ones I outgrew!
    Elizabeth, I wanted to buy the sweater in a taupe color that it came in, too, once I had worn this one. And it was already gone!
    Thanks, Shevia! 

  • Robidi replied 9 years ago

    Great outfit...and I just love the sweater!

  • Sara L. replied 9 years ago

    You look great!  I like the belt with the sweater and the shoes are really fun.

  • Sarah A replied 9 years ago

    I love the open weave sweater but the teal trench is taking the cake for me. That color is so lovely on you!

  • Suzanne (ambergreen) replied 9 years ago

    Love this outfit! I really like the belt--and the mix of textures you have going on within a limited palette. Great trench coat too. Completely fab. :)

About

Welcome to my style blog. Dressing is something all of us do each day, but for me it is also a hobby. I like to find new ways to wear the clothes I have, make new clothes to add to my wardrobe (yes, sewing is another hobby!), shop for clothes, read and discuss fashion. Following You Look Fab has fueled my interest in taking outfit pictures to see where I've been and to get different perspectives on style. Thanks for joining me. I always appreciate hearing your thoughts.
