All Blues 10.4.13

October 4, 2013

Well today's outfit including shoes is blue -- my favorite color. The good thing is it's not a matchy-matchy combination, more like layering different tones and textures. My shoes are a shiny patent ombre blue, cropped trousers in a woven blue, jacket in deep navy, and shirt in a textured sky blue. I loved this outfit. It is as androgynous as my body will allow as opposed to as androgynous as I like.

I'm wearing: 
Jacket - Jones New York
Trousers - Banana Republic 
Shirt - Elie Tahari
Shoes - Tahari

Happy Friday, thanks for looking!

    Lovely! You look glowing! I love tone on tone on texture on texture. And that shirt looks particularly fantastic on you.

    What stylish shades of blue! I was slightly afraid it was going to be a "Canadian Tuxedo" and wondered how you were were going to pull this one off :D

  • Day Vies replied 10 years ago

    Lyn - I am not sure I could pull off head to toe matched denim. The "Canadian Tuxedo" is what I call a "Texas Tuxedo" No matter what you call it it's a look that's hard to make fab.

    I love this!  I often wear blue from head to toe, including shoes and jewelry.  Yay blue!

    You always look so impeccable! You look great!

    Well, you know I am never going to say no to blue! And this is lovely. I recall that top from another outfit -- it's a stellar piece -- simple and calm, yet interesting.

    I love the top. I think you did a great job of balancing the tones of blue.

    Am staring at that wonderful blouse -- gorgeous color and design.  The whole shabang is blue heaven!

  • Adelfa replied 10 years ago

    There's something that really speaks to me about this outfit. It just zings, in a quietly elegant way!

  • Lantana replied 10 years ago

    I am seriously in love with that shirt. What's more, the blues make me very happy. YLF Day Vies.

    I love a blue outfit! (In fact, mine yesterday was almost all blue too!) You look lovely.

    That shirt is brilliant on you. I had one that was similar about 10 years ago, and I let it go when I gained weight. It's a shame I don't have it now -- it might fit again!

  • Day Vies replied 10 years ago

    I usually don't do a single color from head to toe, but once again I was playing around in my closet and loved the clean lines and proportions of this outfit. I especially love the three tones and textures of blue.

  • Parsley replied 10 years ago

    So pretty!
    I love the tonal blues!

  • catgirl replied 10 years ago

    Oh, that shirt!

    You truly have fit and flattery down pat.

  • replied 10 years ago

    Love the shirt! Gorgeousness from head to toe.

About

I am fascinated with the process of getting dressed every day -- to me this is more challenging than getting dressed for a big event because what I wear is dictated by my activities, work environment, and the weather. Living in a climate that guarantees four seasons (or at least two extremes) provides both challenges and inspiration.
