Simple Citron

April 26, 2013
This is the blouse I bought to replace my poly Anne Taylor one that I wore till it was full of snags. The tuck looks better IRL; I think the breeze caught it a bit in the picture. Went really simple with BR Sloans and a tiny bit if flair via dalmatian shoes, wrap watch, and oversized belt buckle. And of course the ombre bag.

    Ooh, I love it. You look amazing in citron. Great silhouette, Ms. Long Legs!
  • Joy replied 11 years ago

    Yes! Your legs look a mile long and the citron is exciting on you. The tone looks so good with the Sloans. What color are they?

    Good gravy Rae - this is stunning on you. Simple, elegant, stylish, bit edgy, classic, modern and sleek all rolled into one.

    What a fab casual look.

    You look amazing Rae, that citron shade sure does suit you. And yes your legs look a mile long.!
  • Angie replied 11 years ago
    Your style is changing. More refined, less tough, less maximal, more grown-up and sophisticated. Is it because of work, Rae? 

    Anyway :).  This outfit is a 20 out of 10 to my eye. Beyond a normal K-rating! 
  • rae replied 11 years ago
    Wow, thank you Angie! I had no idea. The style change is definitely because of work. Honestly, it is not possible to wear an undiluted Rae outfit in my department. So I guess I try to compromise a bit.

    This is the best ever -- the shirt, the pants, the endless legs!  And now I'm hunting for a wrap watch, it looks like the perfect accessory to dress up a casual summer outfit.
  • Kari replied 11 years ago
    Great blouse and I LOVE LOVE LOVE those jeans on you.  This is one of my favorite outfits I've seen on you, Rae - it looks SO natural.
  • rae replied 11 years ago
    Thanks, all. I'm actually not wearing jeans - I hope it came across more dressy IRL. They are the Sloan trousers from BR in a navy micro stripe. Though I think the color is sold out these days. 
  • ElleH replied 11 years ago
    Wow Rae you look stunning!
  • Day Vies replied 11 years ago
    Lovely -- absolutely lovely. This color combination is one of my favorites!

I'm just your average working stiff who loves nice things and hates to pay for them. This blog outlines my efforts to navigate that treacherous shopping/saving divide through swappin', thriftin', and even a little resellin'. Many of the pieces in my wardrobe cost me just $1! We've heard a lot about people "living above their means" in recent years; I'm championing the concept of living large *below* your means - whatever that means for you. :)
