Wallflower in Citron + Burgundy Boots

Note to self: don't take a citron-heavy outfit photo in front of the citron wall! Oof!

This is just a quick shot of my outfit for today's return to Dress for Success, post-holiday. It was actually pretty warm today, so I went for this heavy blazer instead of a wool coat. You can't really tell, because the color is so dark (and shrouded in shade... yes, I know), but the boots are burgundy to match my bag.

I am also wearing this marble-esque watch by Nixon, the high price of which broke my little heart back in October. I was helping the accessories department one night at work, and I found the watch for only $56 after my discount! I took it as a sign that we were meant to be together. :)

    That's crazy how much you match the wall! Neat photo, if not the best outfit details. Score on the watch! I love when something falls into our laps eventually that we've coveted.

    Gorgeous! Love this outfit...and the wall!

    Looks great -- that blazer was such a good purchase!

    Love this whole outfit including the matching wall! Love the sweater that looks like a blazer, the watch is fantastic and you look fab!

  • catgirl replied 11 years ago

    This is by far my favorite incarnation of the blazer so far! Big surprise, I know.

  • CocoLion replied 11 years ago

    A Nixon watch! So cool.

    Great outfit and your hair looks FAN-tastic!

  • ManidipaM replied 11 years ago

    Oh man, that's an utterly drool-worthy watch! I'm going green here!

    And not only is this an outfit I want to fan&favourite (::sighing over the beauty of that blazer::), it's actually a GREAT photo --- It's amazing how the line of shade aligns with your neckline! Tres cool! (insert accent)

    Wow - cool pic! I love that blazer - what a great find in the throes of job-searching!

  • Tina.b replied 11 years ago

    That jacket is lovely, would love to see the details out of the shade. Very cool outfit and the watch was such a great find!

    Soooooo much love for this outfit! I'm head over heels for the citron top with that tweed-ish blazer. Fab mix! And WAY TO GO on the watch!

    Gorgeous! Love your new hair!

  • texstyle replied 11 years ago

    Love this outfit and the wall and your hair is looking great. I esp. love the way the line seems to continue right through you! I think I'd find more colored walls and do this more often as it could make a great series of outfit/color studies.

    Love the jacket. Love the whole outfit, wall and all!

    I agree. The watch was meant to be yours!

    KILLER

    I like the citron wall with the outfit!

    Have you noticed that you pose tilted to one side? A signature pose :)

  • Astrid replied 11 years ago

    I love this outfit! Even more so because of the citron wall. Your hair looks great, I somehow missed when you went shorter.

  • Amy replied 11 years ago

    Fabulous!

  • JulieJohn replied 11 years ago

    I was sure Angie would love this outfit, and me too, sour brights yum! I wish I could see you better for the burgundy, cause I know I would love that color combo. Your photo is uber-stylish and may I just say you (almost) make me want to cut my hair because yours looks so wonderful.

  • cobaltblue replied 11 years ago

    Sour! You look great, especially your hair.

  • rachylou replied 11 years ago

    I'm so jealous of your Tahari blazer.

    Also, you know I quite like that watch, even though I'm so attached to Timex easy-reader, black and white watches.

    I am in awe of your more casual style, Rae. You were definitely trapped in those corporate clothes, the creativity just took off, LOVE. I loved the midi outfit from yesterday too. I think it went away before I had a chance to post.
