WIW which is short on words...

July 28, 2015

...because it is too hot now to think what to write! Last week was extremely busy for me with spending 3 mornings in the hospital so most of the time it was for FFBO to the rescue.

pic 1 Trying to find ways to incorporate these brown loafers into my summer outfits - here is with white. Works?

pic 2 Morning in the hospital to drive my hubby to and from a procedure and then to work. Of course I was running late in the morning and no time to dress properly so very simple shirt-pants formula was needed!

pic 3 I am trying to get more wear from my new summer pieces before winter is back. This one felt pretty good.

pic 4 Another summer shirt I want to wear more often while I can - and the vest too!

pic 5-6 I think I have a mental block wearing skinnies with shorter tops which I tried to overcome here. I am adding the side and back view as this is my most "tender" spot now - do you think I can wear shorter tops with skinnies or I ma better off sticking to the ones which cover my behind as much as possible?

pic 7 This is my "not NAS" purchase from yesterday trip - Vince Camuto tube skirt in black. I have one in stripe for the 3rd season now and while I love it sometimes pattern mixing is too much so I picked up this solid black yesterday. As you can see I am firmly on the Team Wear as I wore it to work the next day!

Thank you for looking and as usual all comments and suggestions are very much appreciated!

    Wow, Sveta, really wow! :) I love all you outfits so much, I can not even pick a favorite! You look fantastic!!!

  • Pat_P replied 10 years ago

    You certainly can wear skinnies with shorter tops - you look great in them!

  • Carole replied 10 years ago

    Hitting it out of the park everyday, Sveta! I think your skinnies look good here even with your backside uncovered!

  • Cerinda replied 10 years ago

    Those skinnies look just right!  Go for it.

  • replied 10 years ago

    You had a fantastic week with shades of light blue and whites.  I can't pick a favorite.

    1:  Well, this might be my favorite of the week.  The brown loafers look fab with white jeans, helped by the studded belt, bag and dark top.

    2:  Love the fluid fit of your shirt here and everything is dressed up with those wonderful shoes.

    3:  The black under the white lace top really makes it stand out.  I love the black flats here and adore that jacket.

    4:  This might be my favorite too with the shades of white and textures going on.  I think you once said it was hard to find the right footwear for those plaid jeans.  The white oxfords look wonderful. 

    5/6:  You can certainly wear short tops with those jeans.  You look amazing.

    7:  That black tube skirt will be a workhorse and good for trips too.  Every time I see that pick up sticks top, I want to steal it. 

  • kellygirl replied 10 years ago

    Just wow! You nailed every single one of these! The brown loafers definitely work! Love the blue blazer with the white lace top. That is just a stunning combo!! You are such a stylish dresser!

  • anne replied 10 years ago

    Gosh these are all absolutely great (and no worries about the back view!)

  • lyn67 replied 10 years ago

    Wow, nr 4 is K2K!:-) 

  • Maneera replied 10 years ago

    Love 5/6 and 7! Absolutely fabulous! I love them ALL, the blue blazer and white lace top look like a match made in heaven!

  • cheryle (Dianthus) replied 10 years ago

    LOVE, love, love the proportions and drape in #2, the color and fit in #1, and the lovely lace top in #3.  I think you should continue to fight the need to avoid a hip length top with skinnies because the look works for you.  Those plaid skinnies are fab and I have always coveted them. :)

    I have the black VC ruched tube and it is a very easy piece to fit into an outfit.  I think you will be very happy with the choice.

  • Suz replied 10 years ago

    Every one of these is fabulous. My favourites are 2, 3, and 5, and YES you can wear skinnies without a longer top. Proportions are perfection. No worries at all, my friend. 

    I hope Mr. S. is okay?? It has been a season of hospital visits for the two of you....

  • Meredith replied 10 years ago

    I would never guess you were hurried based on the end product of these outfits. You mix color, texture, and cuts like a pro.

  • donnat replied 10 years ago

    Wow... just wow...i love #1 the jacket, I think I need a jacket in that color. The lace top, gorgeous, #4 is just all around fabulous. Those plaid skinnies, with the tunic top and the vest... where is my crash helmet?
    You definately can wear a skinny pant with a shorter top. The vc rushed skirt... beautiful.

  • Sara L. replied 10 years ago

    These are all lovely outfits.  Light blue is a very flattering color on you.  I especiall like 33, 5, and 7.  I don't typically wear short tops with my skinnies either but the combination looks great on you.  No worries about whether you need a longer top.

  • Elly replied 10 years ago

    One and three are my absolute favorites-- very fresh. 

  • Angie replied 10 years ago

    Ultra Fabulous as always, Sveta. Are you growing your hair into a mini bob? I like that idea. See pics below. 

    Hope that the family is okay - hospital trips can be very stressful. (((HUGS))).

    Yes, the brown loafers look great - and your behind looks beautiful in a shorter top and skinnies. Lets celebrate the glory of your behind!

    LOVE #3. My best and absolutely killer - although #4 and #5 are close seconds. Pretty Hip Verve.

    Btw, I have the white tunic too. LOVE IT. Friend gave it to me for my birthday. Waving at my twin.

    Sveta, you look stunning every day. These outfits are all great. I especially love that eyelet tunic worn with the plaid skinnies and moto vest. Really fun combo! Your skinnies and shorter top are simply fab on you, too--back view included!
    I think your second outfit--the hurried one--is very elegant. Those sandals are really pretty, and they set off the cropped pants nicely.

  • deb replied 10 years ago

    Sveta, you always look so good but #4 is my fave.

  • Staysfit replied 10 years ago

    I love all of these but number 3 is my favorite. I wondered how you would style the BR lace top, and I love that jacket. I'm currently feeling dismal about my own luck with jackets so I admire everyone who can wear them well. :-)

  • Lyn D. replied 10 years ago

    You look FAB in the shorter top with skinnies Sveta!
    Pics 5-6 are my favourites, as I lean towards more casual outfits.

  • Aida replied 10 years ago

    Even though your week sounds hectic, you look perfectly well turned out as always.

    In response to your questions: Yes the brown loafers work in #1, particularly with the other sandy shades added (belt, bag). The shorter top with the high rise crops looks super, I don't think you need to worry there at all (leave it to you, Ms. Long Legs, to make cropped pants look leggy ^^); LOVE those sandals with this outfit, my favorite element of the look.

    #2, 3, and 4 are all extra superb. My fave is #2. The ease on that shirt is perfect! I haven't been wearing this silhouette much this summer, as I don't really have cropped trousers and that's what makes this feel current for me and my few easy shirts right now are all fall/winter weight. Going to have to mull on how I can emulate for whenever cooler days come around.

    (Hope all the hospital stuff was sorted out! That's always stressful.)

  • carter replied 10 years ago

    Wow! Love them all, but 1 and 2 appeal to me personally the most. For me, 2 is the epitome of casual chic...very Emmanuelle Alt.

  • Jaime replied 10 years ago

    Love #2, and #5 looks fab from every angle!

  • celia replied 10 years ago

    Hope everything is well with DH.
    You look wonderful all week long. If this is what you do in a hurry wow.
    My favorites are #3 &7. I love that color combination on you.
    And yes, I do believe you can wear skinnies with shorter tops.

  • Sveta replied 10 years ago

    Thank you all for your kind comments and for endorsing the shorter top / skinnies look - I feel much better now :-)
    I am really surprised with so much love for #2: it was a "quickly-throw-something-over-because-hubby-is-fuming-in-the-car" outfit. I do like this shirt, it is perfect for the heat because the fabric is very lightweight and very pleasant on the body. I am less impressed with these cropped trousers from Express because they bag out on the knees.
    Angie, I do grow my hair a bit but not sure yet what I want in the end. I was thinking something like this but actually I also have your first picture in my inspiration board too...hmmm...maybe I should consider a hybrid between a short bob and pixie? I have a hair appointment this Saturday so really need to decide...
    And I am thrilled to be a tunic twin with you! YAY!

  • Ankita replied 10 years ago

    Jeeeeez....you're so stylish :)

    I think you look stunning in each & EVERY one of these. 

    My favourite part about #1 is the blazer... the pop of colour is perfect....with #2 I'm loving the shoes and the length of the pants (very flattering on you)...

    #3 is the BOMB!!! <3 
    The blouse and the blazer are sooooooo gorgeous!

    #4 Love the shirt.... i can picture it with a pair of leggings and high heels plus an animal print clutch :)

    The scarf in #5 & #6 is beautiful <3

    The top in #7 looks really good on you ( & is def one of my favourite) and the denim jacket is gorgeous :)

  • Vix replied 10 years ago

    Hi Sveta --

    All lovely and thought-through vs "thrown on" looking; impressive!

    I'm not a skinnies + shorter top for myself so at your direction looked especially close at #5 -- zero issues for any self-consciousness seen. Enjoy!

  • unfrumped replied 10 years ago

    Oh, wow, 2 and 3 are faves, no, wait-wait, also like....
    You've picked great items that mix and match wonderfully.

  • Style Fan replied 10 years ago

    You look amazing in all of the outfits.  You look very fab in skinnies and a short top. 
    Looking forward to seeing your hair.

  • Peri replied 10 years ago

    I really love 3 and 7! And yes, you definitely can wear shorter tops with skinnies, although I really know where you are coming from! I am getting so used to...and really loving...longs tops for the past 2 years that my tush may never get seen again! I've been wondering if it would be hard to change back for that reason so I get your hesitation even though you look great. For me, it doesn't help that "she really showed her butt" is colloquial for behaving really badly in public!

  • jenanded replied 10 years ago

    If its any consolation, you look relaxed in your face ... your outfits are lovely as usual!
