Wearing yellow to cheer a Monday.
And linen because it's been and still sizzling hot in SoCal.
The Tessa top is cool and easy to toss on, if you don't mind looking
like you slept in it within minutes of wearing.
Such is the charm of linen.
Though I'm wild about animal print (ha!), I wasn't immediately
drawn to the Bennett cropped chino in snowcat. After the wardroberometer in my mind showed a few outfits of brights or white, black or chambray with the black-and-white print, I thought it worth a try since I'd also wondered for months about how the Bennett chino differed from plain old chinos.
As you can see they are full length not cropped on me, which I prefer.
The (97% cotton 3% spandex) fabric is quite substantial and stretchy, and along with the skinny fit, can make one feel as sleek as a cat.
I'm the crazy pants lady, I love these pants.
I think the shoes from Brooks Brothers are a fabulous buy at 50% off.
All-leather construction, lots of room in the toe box
and a classic color combination and style.
I'm the crazy shoe lady, how can I resist these summer spectators?!
I love the shoes, I recognized them right away! I have something similar but it is still tempting to pick them up, so nice! Great outfit Tiffany Rose
ReplyDeletethank you, xoxo! I figured you'd recognize BB. I wanted badly the navy version of these shoes but my size was way gone. It is tempting when the price and quality is good and the style is something you can wear for a long, long time.
DeleteI wasn't into the Bennet chino right away either, but they look so good on you, I might have to give them a try:) Adore how you've paired them with a bright top and those great shoes!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, biscuitsandnavy! In my goofy mind, black-and-white is classic, though the print is a little wild, heehee.
DeleteMore crazy pants! I love the shoes with them :)
ReplyDeleteIt's like I'm addicted or something, you can always find crazy pants here. The shoes are wonderful, nice and roomy and comfortable from the start. I'm going to post later in the week about comfy shoes. ;)
DeleteI think this looks great- the perfect "classic with a twist"!! How can you be in anything but a good mood when you when you wear something like this?
ReplyDeleteThanks, MJ! This is classic with a lemon twist, lol. I've come to love yellow since it does brighten the mood. :)
DeleteLOVE those pants on you! I also love linen shirts too but sometimes I get lazy and don't feel like ironing. How do you keep yours so pretty and wrinkle free?
ReplyDeleteHa! You should have seen the linen top when I arrived at work just after five minutes in the car with the seat belt on. I do not iron, this top was just steamed and put on ... I hadn't sit with it on yet ;)
DeleteYou had me at the top, love yellow and this is a clever combo with the trou! I'm always looking for yellow and cannot find exactly the right top in lemon, this one is lovely. I never iron so it would have to stay lived in for me!
ReplyDeleteI've come to love yellow too, everyone can always use a little cheer. I haven't seen my iron in years and you can't really expect woven linen to look anything but rumpled unless you stand still the entire time wearing it. But I love it for staying cool on the stickiest days.
DeleteI love those shoes! I adore a good spectator design.
ReplyDeleteSpectators are classic and help to jazz it up some!
DeleteLove the Tessa, but I know what you mean about the linen wrinkling. Cute outfit!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rose. I love the Tessa too, and accept all the wrinkling that comes with it. ;)
ReplyDeleteI looked at those shoe myself yesterday. The look great with the snow leopard pants!
ReplyDeleteAnd so comfy too. So many possibilities with black and white.
DeleteThanks for visiting, KnitYarns. :)
