my last outfit post

This is post likely my last post on FaerieMB!  I'm still fascinated by the topic of pants fits and outfit formulas, but I'm no style blogger.  It's too hard trying to get pictures of myself!  Maybe I'll try again in the future, but I don't think so.

So in the time I've been doing this blog I've become

• more and more convinced of the skinny pant silhouette.  I've no idea how that happened but now I'm mostly a skinny pant person.  Weird!  I'm curious how long the trend will last.
• become more attracted to wearing neutrals and simple styles.
• embraced the magic of the cognac boot or shoe.  I love how they make an outfit pop!  The boots I'm wearing here are by Seychelle's and I bought them from Zapppos.  Love them!  A great purchase.

I'd love it if you leave me a comment about your favorite outfit formula lately.  And thanks so much for reading!!

burgundy

I bought burgundy pants!  I picked these up at J. Crew over the weekend (I had to return a different pair--the boys were with me--they were so good while I tried these on!).  I love this color.  This is their "matchstick" fit.  It's is a straight fit.  What do you think?  I have to say, I'm surprisied, but I'm beginning to think a skinny fit is more flattering!  I'm coming around to the skinny pant--oh so gradually.  Nonetheless, I really like these and will get a lot of wear out of them in fall and winter. 

As always, feel free to weigh in on pant fits!  I find the topic endlessly fascinating!

I was inspired by this photo on Pinterest to layer a black blazer over a denim vest.   I loved the look and I love that it is fallish enough now to wear this.

fall re-style

Just thought I'd share how I re-styled this dress for fall.  Last seen here.

Outfit details:
dress and belt:  Garnett Hill
tights:  Target
scarf:  gift from my mom
shoes:  Clark's

grey + mustard

Today I wore this grey + mustard combination.  The bright cardigan really perks this outfit up, which is actually very nice for a Monday.  I also like that this white top has a lacy overlay--it dresses up the corduroy pants a bit. 

What do you guys think about this pant silhouette (boot cut cords vs. skinny pants)?  I'm so curious to find the best pants shape. 

Outfit details:

grey cords:  J. Crew

scarf + stripes

Happy Tuesday!  I am always so happy to make it through Tuesday of a normal week.  It is all downhill from here, right?  Sort of. 

I threw on this scarf as an afterthought while running out the door, but I ended up really liking it.  I aspire to be able to effortlessly wear scarves.  I love adding color and pattern but usually I'm not sure what to do with them.  Scarf + stripes inspiration here.

Regular scarf inspiration here, here, and here.
