WIW 7/3 Sweeter tough

This outfit makes me happier than yesterday. I think head to toe toughness is no longer me.
I tried a 1/2 tuck but the shorts are pleated, so the volume made it look all off. Plus I think my legs add structure.
Current/Elliott camo shirt, Venessa Arizaga necklace, Club Monaco pleather shorts and LD Tuttle pointy toe, contrast ankle strap shoes.

    Oh I love this! Those shoes are amazing! Love the tie in of your lips with the strap of the shoes. What a great hot weather outfit!

    Love the strap and lipstick accents!

    I prefer this version too, Anna. The top is more covered - which to my eye, is a nicer juxtaposition with the short shorts. Plus the shoes are killer pretty - and launched me into orbit. (I personally prefer softer looks anyway - so I'm biased). xo

    I love this outfit! The shoes are gorgeous!

    I always like the softer colors on you, so flattering.  And how fun are those shoes, with the bright strap!  I really enjoy the subtle fun touches in this outfit with the necklace, the material on the shorts and the strap on the shoes.

    I think you find the right balance for you.  I'm in a similar boat.  I like edge, but don't want to look like the middle aged equivalent of Hot Topic either, Ha!
    Buttoned up tops aren't my thing but I can appreciate it here on you.  The shoes are the real winners.  So ladylike against the leather and army shirt.  Nice!

    Wow, lovely Anna! I think you hit the right note here. Love the shorts and shirt and the accents of bright orange on your shoes and your lippy are fab.

    Loveth edge...the shirt is perfect...with the shorts and shoes, you have a great look...

  • Gracie replied 9 years ago

    I like this so much – the contrast of the "rough" army shirt with the dressy shorts and gorgeous shoes looks perfect, keeps the eye moving to check everything twice.

    I think the shoes are just perfect with this!  You're right, just a hint of pretty really makes this outfit shine.  The orange ankle straps are almost like jewelry but less fussy.  Love the bookending with the orange lipstick too. 

  • MsMaven replied 9 years ago

    Perfect--shoes and lipstick really make this outfit.

  • Karie replied 9 years ago

    Those shoes make the outfit extra special - another fantastic outfit!

  • ironkurtin replied 9 years ago

    Great gams! (And of course I love the shoes.)
    Part of me wonders if you can pull the shorts down just a smidge?  So it looks a little more slouchy/street?

    Anna, I really really love this one you!   (And now I have some wonderful inspiration for a pair of black leather shorts that have been languishing in my closet   :D   )

  • Eliza replied 9 years ago

    Yes. Love this! Great shoes.

  • replied 9 years ago

    So cool!  You always know what you're doing.

  • Suz replied 9 years ago

    Wow, those shoes are beautiful! I love this outfit. Everything about it. The ladylike shoes are a nice juxtaposition with the shorts. Top is great, too.

    Gorgeous outfit, and it does look very harmonious on you. (I really liked the other outfit, though, too--I think it was especially good for a warmer day, with exposed arms.) I noticed the same thing Jackie did--the nice echo of your lip color with the ankle strap on those beautiful shoes.

  • Tanya replied 9 years ago

    Love this!  The shoe strap and your make up echo each other nicely.  I like the other tough outfit too, can not pick a favorite.

  • catgirl replied 9 years ago

    The SHOES!  I want a close up please.

  • texstyle replied 9 years ago

    I really like this on you Anna - it's perfect and you look great!

  • Caro in Oz replied 9 years ago

    YLF & yes I see what you mean. I see you in this outfit - oh & the shoes :)

  • san replied 9 years ago

    I love this outfit on you.  I agree that your pretty legs add structure.  Love those shoes with the rest of your style. 

  • Jaime replied 9 years ago

    There is so much that is just right about this. Starting with your shoes, which match your lips! You may be the one person that can pull those shorts off to perfection!
