I Pinned this outfit the other day with the idea to recreate
it myself:

This is my version of the above look:
One of the reasons I Pinned this look is because although I
already had all the pieces, it’s not something I would necessarily put together
myself. I mean, it’s just so neutral.
But, I’m trying to become more comfortable with neutrals so I thought I’d
give this look a shot. To do so, I
paired my knit pencil (vintage, thrifted) with a cream, lace blouse (Limited),
a cognac belt (thrifted) and cognac sandals (Jeffrey Campbell via Nordstrom). I also added Nikki Jacoby earrings, some
bracelets and a vintage necklace (via the Plucky Maidens Junkfest). And, I think I liked it. You know, for neutrals.
Happy Friday, All!

You look very elegant! Cognac! That's the word I was searching for earlier to describe the color of my bag, but I couldn't find it. Thanks!

gracey, it's classically beautiful! i like the textures. you can wear it to work, you can wear it into the night, looking stylishly chic in both settings.
ReplyDeleteyou look so good! i always back away from neutrals as i just love colour but now and again i like to dabble and be a bit different. I think this look came out really well! BTW i've been reading your blog on my google reader app and loving so many of your outfits lately! Sorry about the lack of comments, i hate using my phone to comment, i always end up writing jibberish due to stupid auto correct (and my fat fingers) lol xx
ReplyDeletei really like this look! it is neutral but that can be good sometimes depending on the occasion, plus it is still interesting with the lace and accessories :D

You really did that outfit pin justice! This looks fantastic. I too usually shy away from all-neutral ensembles, but there's something refreshing about them when I see them on other people.
ReplyDeleteHi! Love that you pin outfits to recreate them. Awesome job! Love the vintage pencil skirt and Jeffrey Campbell's. Dawn suitcase vignettes xo
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Neutrals are so subtle that they're in the Advanced Class. You've graduated up to it; I'm still studying with the novices.
ReplyDeleteNice work, Gracey! Great inspiration and recreation - neutrals get a bad rap sometimes but this look is fabulous!

This really looks fab on you!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I love this look - it's elegant/classic, but still fun.
ReplyDeleteOoh really like this, the lace makes it more interesting - neutral to me means safari style, v boring ;)
ReplyDeleteI am always a sucker for cognac and black. The contrast makes each one richer looking, and it makes the wearer look elegant and sophisticated. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteStunning! Love the inspiration and you look drop dead gorgeous!!!!! :)

ReplyDeleteI know how you feel! Neutrals are tough for me, too, but I've been trying. I'm also trying to wear flats more often, but we'll so how that goes once the school year starts. I love love love your lace top! I've looked at several recently and have yet to pull the trigger. I'm hoping to find one thrifting in NYC. You look lovely!
ReplyDeleteHey I just found your blog and I love it! I am really really tall too, so I was so excited to see your blog! I've never seen a fashion blog for tall people. :-) Love this outfit, very classy! Hope you want to stop by my blog!

I like your version better, partly because many of us can't wear tanks to work - not without a cardi or jacket. Your outfit may be neutral, but it's definitely not plain. Very chic and classic.
ReplyDeletethis is such an elegant combination of neutrals, and i love it on you!
ReplyDeleteChic on the Cheap
Great job on the recreation! I never seem to have just the right pieces when I do that. You do neutrals well Gracey.
ReplyDeleteLove it! The mix of neutrals looks fantastic on you! And thanks so much for adding me to your blogroll... plus, I'm also an Oregon blogger. So happy to have found our home in Portland! :)

Great outfit. I love mixing neutrals!
ReplyDeleteVery nice recreation of that look. It's better on you :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, Gracey, this is great! When it's like this, all-neutrals can be very cool and classy and stylish--I think that's the way to look at it instead of thinking all-neutrals is boring like, y'know, I usually do.
ReplyDeleteVery lovely you are. You do not look "plus size" at all and I am a small/thin person. Love the shoes too! Our society is so messed up if you are considered a plus size. You wear it well!
