Outfits Not Just Clothes

sweater/tank/slides-Old Navy(similar here , here , and here ), trousers-Zara(similarish here ), necklace-Gifted, ring- Le Tote , watch-Michael Kors(similar here ) How chic is this outfit?!!!! I am loving the black and cream color palette, the stripes, the slouchy pleated trousers--it's all giving me LIFE here in the dog days of summer. I wore this for work, and while I wouldn't normally bust out a tank top for the office, have this "matching" pullover to drape over my shoulders kept the amount of skin coverage appropriate. Plus, this oversized sweater was a necessity with how freezing my beige cage has become from the overload of AC. 

Yesterday I featured an "direct from the runway" outfit inspiration. Today's look was inspired by a more minimalist image from the online retailer-- Violeta's online shopping photos: Violeta This pic features thier textured baggy trousers, and I just happen to have very similar pair... shirt-Gap(similar here ), trousers- Zara , slides-Old Navy(similar here ) Like in yesterday's OOTD I mimicked the shoes and pants then worked my way up. Today's inspiration is a much more "spot on" replica, as this breezy blouse not only captures the essence of the inspo photo, but shares it's color and silhouette. Besides how well or not my outfit matches Violeta's, this is a really subtle, yet chic midweek office outfit, no? For a day with no meetings a drapey drawstring trouser and pinstriped blouse are a no-brainer for work!
