WIW: Trying out a tucked BF look

Ok, so funny story: I told a friend I was trying a tucked BF look, and she thought I was saying something about cross-dressing. o_0 I guess fashion/YLF just comes up with its own lingo sometimes!

This is what I wore yesterday to go out and find my suit. I only wore it for under an hour, but I really enjoyed it, and I'll probably try to get some more use out of the look this weekend.

Floral cardigan - gift from Mom from F21, years ago
gray tee - small neighborhood store, years ago
Francesco Biasia crossbody - Ebay
Butterfly necklace - DIY
Aldo belt - flea market
Old Navy Boyfriend Capris - Old Navy
Frye Vera boots - Amazon

In other news, it *rained* this morning! Yay! I don't think it even lasted a full five minutes, but it was so much fun to see after all the heat. I think I'll even try to jog before it heats up. :)

    So freakin' adorable on you!

    You can't imagine how grumpy the word rain makes me.

    Good thing you look amazing enough to counteract it. I just printed my boarding pass!

  • Suz replied 11 years ago

    You look amazing! I just love this floral cardigan on you. It is so unexpected for your style yet mixes so well with the rugged elements. You and your BF are a great pair.

    It's a great outfit. Looks fantastic on you!

    BTW I wanted to say hi to one of the only other female Rae's I've "met". I think I've only ever heard of other girls having it as a middle name.

    Love it! They look great tucked into boots!

  • christy replied 11 years ago

    Great outfit!! And some serious boot envy over here - those are awesome.

    *waving at RunnerRae*

    My full name is Rachel, but my mom has always called me Rae. I started using it more and more about 15 years ago. As you said, it's more unique - and for some reason people seem to like the monosyllabic thing. :)

    Love the tough girl boots with the pretty cardi - fab look deserves to be on show for more than an hour.

    *fainted - OD'ed on fabulousness. back after more tea per Angie's prescription*

  • Raisin replied 11 years ago

    Rae - my full name is actually Rae, and whenever I tell people that they usually say, but your name is Rachel, right? Nope, just Rae! It's cute though, right! My mom actually named me after my grandfather...lol, lucky me! Haha....his name is Raymond, he goes by Ray, and my mom decided she was naming her first kid after him whether it be a boy or girl. So I'm a Rae!

  • JulieJohn replied 11 years ago

    Ok, I am mostly recovered. By cracky, this is one of my favorites on you EVER! It's so rugged, yet with flowers! So unexpected! I am like a giddy schoolgirl and I can hardly type correctly. Mixed leathers? Why does that work so dang well? The crossbody stripe of red? It's like you are a fashion witch and you mixed up a cauldron of wild magic!!! THANK YOU!

    My gosh Rae you look SO great in this. Wow! Best wishes on the suit hunt!

  • nancylee replied 11 years ago

    Wow, this is such a great look. The tucking looks fab, and I love how you've managed to make a floral cardigan look edgy and very "Rae-esque!"

  • rae replied 11 years ago

    RunnerRae, that is so cool! Especially being named after your grandfather - built-in tomboy street cred.

    Julie, I struggled with this cardigan for yeeeeears. I guess all it needed was a boyfriend to pay it some attention.

  • kellygirl replied 11 years ago

    Sweet outfit. I love the tomboy look with a feminine edge. The boots are the piece d'resistance! (spelling?)

  • Inge replied 11 years ago

    Tuck away, Rae, because this looks fantastic. And I so love the fit of these jeans on you.

  • Ariadne replied 11 years ago

    Looking great, Rae! You nailed this. And I think the same thing as your friend EVERY single time I see, hear or use the word "tucking" :D

  • Louise replied 11 years ago

    Fantastic x

  • Caro in Oz replied 11 years ago

    This mix works so well on you, I love it.

  • Transcona Shannon replied 11 years ago

    YES! This is tucked perfection. And I love the rugged boots paired with the floral cardi - such great juxtaposition. This outfit is fantastic Rae!

  • Aida replied 11 years ago

    SO cute in a very Rae way!! I think your floral cardi and boyfriend jeans are a match made in heaven ^^

  • Jonesy replied 11 years ago

    Really fun and chic! I love the crossbody bag with this look, and the boots work perfectly!

    Good luck on your interview tomorrow!! Knock 'em dead.

  • Jaime replied 11 years ago

    Wow this really looks fantastic! Something about the light colored tank? Or the whole thing together? Can't say but it looks great!
