Fashion Favorites (w/e 8/7/21)...

My favorite outfits this week from some of my favorite fashion bloggers. I couldn't (or wouldn't) necessarily wear any of these, but I like the way they've been styled or some particular component of the outfit.  I might put an accessory on my shopping list.  Maybe the outfit inspires me to put together something similar from my wardrobe or to try different color combinations.  Sometimes, I just love the whole look.  Thought I'd share and hope you enjoy... 
 
 
Thank you for your comments on last week's thread...I love reading everyone's choices and the tweaks you'd make.  Much appreciated!
 
@Hippiified  Thank goodness you edited your post...I wasn't sure what to make of it and thought you might be pulling my leg!  :biggrin:
 
 
#1(a)...I'm not a fan of big flowers...I can't wear this shade of green, nor the orange...but I LOVE this blouse!  I admit to being jealous of her haha. :girlsigh:
 
 
#1(b)...party in the back
 
 
#2...a sharp basic...not to get into another inseam debate haha, but, personally, I think the inseam is a little too long
 
 
#3
 
 
#4...LOVE this dress, but would rather see it with orange or yellow espadrilles...if it were midi or maxi length, I'd buy it
 
 
#5
 
 
#6
 
 
#7
 
 
#8
 
 
#9(a)...I'm not a fan of graphic tees, but I love the slim/straight fit of these jeans (I don't have a problem with the inseam, especially with those shoes, but I know how diverse the opinions are on that issue!)
 
 
#9(b)
 
 
#10...this is more me...favorite of the bunch (with silver jewelry please)

#12(a)...interesting vintage dress

Cult Gaia ark bag
 
 
#13
 
 
#14

I like this style, not the pants length, tied shirt, and the exposed belt loops without a belt.

 

I think black or navy blue pants with a white shirt tucked in with a belt is more striking.  For her, rust, dark brown, khaki, tan, with a matching or printed shirt with those colors in it.  

 

As for her overall appearance, I think she'd look best in fall colors, gold jewelry, not this shade of blue, white, and silver jewelry, all cool colors, nor do that hairstyle and the saucer size earrings flatter her.  Defintely, wear pants that touch the top of the shoes.

I like this classic outfit.

 

Not a fan of the colors, jewelry, and sandals, though, but they work for her.

Hi @Foxxee ...thanks for your responses.

 

I agree that this is a classic look.  For me, it's the shade of olive on the bermudas that throws it off.  I looked at this pic and my first thought was, "too bad the bermudas weren't the same color as the stripe in the bag."  A dark khaki or even a darker olive would work, too.

Yes, a surprising combination I wouldn't wear.

While most are not my style, they do look good except for #5.  It shows bad color coordination and is rather dowdy.  Also, those sandals do nothing to make that model's feet look good.  Straps of some sort covering the lumpy and rough look would go a long way to giving a more polished look .  Why I say that is that my ankles look like that  so I wear shoes/ sandals that camouflage them.

I like #8. The red shoes look good with that outfit. 

 

#5 needs an update. Don't care about the colors together and the top looks messy. I like some half tucked shirts, but that one isn't done in a flattering way. Her shoes don't help her any. 

 

On the positive side, I like the handbag and the bracelets.

#1 - I agree pants too long but love the outfit otherwise.

 

#5 - I love everything about this outfit especially the color combo.

 

#11 - Love this but the days of bare arms and wearing those shoes are well behind me!  The accessories make the outfit!
