WIW: starting the year in slouchy sparkles

After looking through my favorite outfits of 2013, I realized that I really like my white jeans, even though they're high maintenance.  So I pulled them out to wear today.

I also pulled out some sparkles, because it felt fun.  I'm not sure you can tell in the pic, but the turquoise sweater is full of sequins.

(To close out the year, I'd gone with purple and brown, because I came across the combo somewhere or other and liked it, so I wanted to give it a try.  I'm not sure it worked....)

Suggestions for improvement?  Happy New Year!

    Amy both are cute. You have a great figure and here you are showing it off to best effect.

    You look great Amy.  I particularly love the white with the blue and the purple and brown is a really attractive combo.   This is a great silhouette on you :)

    I especially like the blue and white too. The other combo of colors I've also worn and liked--it always makes me think of rasperry-filled chocolate candy. :)

    Great boots BTW!

    I love the first one - it looks so fresh and bright!
    Not sure about the second one. I don't mind those colours together, but I don't think I like the purple close to your face. It may be just the picture, but it doesn't make your face light up the way the blue does. Possibly better judged IRL - how did you feel?

    I like them both! Pic 1 is just fun and bright, and the colors in pic 2 work to my eye because they are both dusty/muted.

    I really like 1 -- the sparkly sweater is great with the white jeans.

    I especially like #1 -- the contrast of the feminine sparkle and the tough boots is just amazing. And the color of that sweater by your face is gorgeous, really so so flattering and fresh. What a way to start the year!

    You can't go wrong with blue and white! Maybe you need another pair of white jeans - especially since Mo posted the link to the $7 pair she has.

    I love your sparkles in #1!  The purple and brown look great together.  My sister wears this color combination a lot and I always really like it.

    Love the white and blue combo - cheery and festive but grounded by those fab boots.

    I really like the white jeans too - hope to see them more in 2014!

    I really love #1!  White jeans love you back, high maintenance and all. And the obalt sparkly sweater is icing on the cake.

  • Angie replied 10 years ago

    Oh goodness. How fun, festive and adorable are you in #1. Pretty AND Rugged. Killer look. I love it, Amy. 

  • Parsley replied 10 years ago

    You look great in your sparkly outfit, Amy! The white jeans look terrific and fresh, and the rugged boots are a playful surprise.
    Yay for team sparkles!
