I really want to get back to posting a WIW every day. It just seems that theres so little time!
I'm noticing a theme in my outfits for the last several days. First, I love this gray cashmere, and it's a real season-transition workhorse for me - I think due to the color (though it's also just the right warmth for my office). Second, I'm liking a neutral outfit with one bright pop quite a bit.
#1-2 Gray and white. I wore it without the jacket most of the day. I thought this one worked, until I got in our van which some kid had just "vacuumed", with the shop vac inside the vehicle, so the entire interior was super covered in dust. *sigh*.
#3 Black, gray and orange. This one I also felt like worked. Does it? How could it be improved?
#4 Teal and cream with hot pink nails (#5). I tried this nail polish - I'm guessing it's fuschia? - and loved it with my skin tone. Now I need a top this color.
#6 Blue, green with red ballet flats. Does it work? It feels too dark with spring being here.
#7 Red and white. I don't think it works. Also, the white shoes seem frumpy to me. Are they?
I wore the gray sweater another day as well, just didn't get pics.
What do you think? Suggestions for improvement?

Great gray sweater! I love 3 - did you get some new sandals? Those look comfy. I'm probably way offhere, but I wonder if the white shoes in #7 would look better without the vest?
-
Good point Pil - That white vest really isn't my style, I don't think. (Either that, or I'm styling it wrong for my style). I think it'll find a new home.

And thanks both pil and bj!
The sandals are Danskos that I got last summer at a rummage sale and just brought out. They are super comfy, if a little chunky. -
Great looks and I have to say the best part is your smile, you look so at peace and happy!!!

1. Love white jeans on you. I'd rather see a lighter shoe, however. The red jacket and white necklace are wonderful.
2. Loving the white jeans with your grey sweater s d more white. This time the black shoes look fine to my eye.
3. Your boys are such sweet accessories. Have you tried the blouse tucked?
4. Love this!
7. A white denim vest would be fun with these jeans and shirt. The red looks great on you -
Wow, number one is awesome! I have actually been searching for a necklace just like that. It's perfect with the white pants. Love 4 also.

IKWYM about making the time for pictures. I always think I can squeeze it in on the way to the car, but that's not always the case. I hope you can do it, because I really enjoy your WIWs! -

I have missed you!
Love 1 and 2 - great look.
I think the white vest can go too. Great sandals!

I love 1 and 2 though I think I may prefer a lighter shoe. 4 is pretty good, but i'm not sure if the necklines appear a bit at odds with each other. 6 is so cute with the scarf and shoes and I love 7 and agree with the others about the vest. Red and orange really suits you Amy!

Thanks All! You're so encouraging!

I'm still working to find my white-shoe groove. I have several pair, but they all seem a bit off. The ones I liked the most (they're cream, perforated and rate) suddenly cause all sorts of foot pain.
I also really really want a white or light belt. I'm considering buying white leather paint and turning one of my brown belts white :) -
My favorites are #1/2 and #4!

I can't get past the first outfit! Your BEST!

KILLER with the white bookending- jeans and necklace! And the black bookending with the shoes and hint of a belt. And the bright coral is terrific! A 20 out of 10 :)

I really love #4, the muted colors are so pretty, and those shoes look very stylish and comfy.

LOVE #1/2!!!!! So excited to see this! You are really continuing leaps and bounds!

Of course I am also delighted to welcome you to the fuchsia club!! Best. Colour. Ever. -
I think #7 is fab. You're right about the vest though. I second the suggestion of the denim vest. #6 is my favorite, except I think the jeans may be a bit large, and definitely need a hemming.
