the girly girl vs. the dude part 2

good morning everyone! when it gets cold outside, i start becoming lazy and opting for pants more and more. i get into these cycles and then revert back to skirts after acclimatizing to the cold. when i am into this pants phase, i usually end up playing with the menswear inspired look. i love how kelly works menswear inspired clothing into fun, stylish and feminine looks. phoebe also put a cute tie in her outfit and looked adorable. i have worn this vest before in another guy-inspired outfit, here.

i'm also guest posting on jane squared today, in a "wear it both ways" challenge. hope you can check it out!

what other spins would you put to this kind of look?




outfit - blouse: j. crew blythe blouse, old, similar here; vest: gap: old, similar here; pants: ann taylor, old, similar here; shoes: christian louboutin tortoise patent ron ron; belt: hermes constance belt; necklace: dot-dash statement necklace, here, thanks to a-thread

  1. Your legs look incredibly long in those trousers, oh I barely wear skirts in winter it's far far too cold here.

  3. I love this yellow color, a nice touch to a cold and dreary day. I get lazy too and barely wear skirt and dresses. Blame the cold weather.

  4. I was thinking a yellow skirt may still be wearable on colder days if I wear thighs underneath!! Your yellow shirt inspired this idea!!

    Love how you paired up the feminine with the classic vest!!

  5. Like you, once the temperature drops, it's pants, not dresses and skirts for work! I still do wear them, but far much less than I would in late Spring/Summer.

    And to answer your question, I would also pair it with sweater vests to kep warm. :)

  7. Love those trousers. I'm a major trouser lover, I am especially attracted to bright or printed trousers lol which is silly because then I have trouble matching a top to them. That beige colour is really workable though, love what you've done (as always!) x

  8. I love the waistcoat and trouser combination, although you have to be careful if you have a fuller bust.
