WIW 01/22/2013 - Fast Fall Back Outfit

January 23, 2013

I had an outfit planned for today, using my recently purchased rugby stripe sweater. Unfortunately, when I went to put it on, I noticed the neckline was coming unraveled. I put some safety pins in it to stop it from falling apart any further, and don't know if I can repair it satisfactorily. I'm steamed about that. I only wore it once!

I had to throw on something quick and decided on an outfit I've worn on multiple other occasions during the past year.

Jacket: Vince Camuto
Silk Flower pin
Red top - sewn by me
Trousers: Lafayette 148
Shoes: Crown Vintage

    You got me with the trim matching your shoes! Fallback can be fantastic and is here.

    There you go with my favourite tri-colour combo - black, red and white! Love the cropped jacket on you Amy - very Chanel.

    Are you growing your hair out? It looks fab.

    KILLER

    And it looked even better in person :)

    Looks great, and those shoes are amazing! Reminds me of Angie's post about rewearing outfits. If you look great in it, and you do, you should totally wear it again!

  • pil replied 11 years ago

    Those shoes are the icing on the cake!

  • Beth Ann replied 11 years ago

    Love this look --- the details in the jacket and the shoes play nicely with the bold blocks of black and red. And its a good reminder to write down my FFBO. My mind is way to foggy in the mornings to leave things to chance!

    Great fall-back Amy!!

    What are your shoes, if I may ask? I know you have showed them to us earlier but now I have forgotten.

  • carolbee replied 11 years ago

    Love this look on you Amy. Thats a fantastic jacket. Also great to see that someone still sews. I have to admit that as I'm now retired and lead a casual lifestyle and the clothing I need can mostly be bought reasonable cheaply I haven't made clothes for a long time.

    You are so cute in this! Love the shoe/jacket combo and the flower on the jacket is great.

  • MsLuna replied 11 years ago

    So lively and happy! I love the silhouette and colour combinations!

  • Joy replied 11 years ago

    Love this! The jacket with those shoes and the red top...wow

  • Aida replied 11 years ago

    So cute! The contrast trim matching your shoes totally makes this outfit for me.

  • Debbie replied 11 years ago

    Love this! You look great!

    YLF, Amy!

  • Hil replied 11 years ago

    I love your shoes!!!

  • lyn67 replied 11 years ago

    Lucky girl! FFBO but ever so polished and true to your style! Love this, and YLF in your colours Amy, shoes are awesome, too!:-)

  • goldenpig replied 11 years ago

    This definitely should be your FFBO--you look so fab. Love the crisp structure, the black and white jacket trim matching your fab shoes, and the pop of red...my favorite color combo (black/white/red). You look like you mean business! So polished and chic. Angie is right--killer!

  • Atlantia replied 11 years ago

    This is fab! Love the shoes, of course.
    I'm so sorry about your new sweater. That kind of thing really makes me upset.

  • replied 11 years ago

    How annoying about the top Amy, I can't stand poor workmanship. Suffice to say your FFBO looks great. Love the way your shoes echo the two tones in the jacket.

  • Glory replied 11 years ago

    I love this on you - the jacket is fantastic. Also noticing the draft stopper and realizing this would be a great addition to a few of my doors! :)

  • memel replied 11 years ago

    Love it... You look beautiful, like a magasin add..

  • Amy replied 11 years ago

    Thanks everyone! Those shoes were my best purchase ever, lol.Unfortunately, they're starting to show signs of wear.
