There is something about the outfit Marina Larroude, Style.com Senior Market Editor, is wearing in her Spring 2011 Shopping Guide profile that I am completely drawn to. Maybe it's the easy-breezy casual, yet pulled together vibe. Or maybe it's that I think those are fancy sweat pants. Either way, it is most definitely that I can pull off this pairing with items I already own. Though I love the blue and gray tones with wild shoes, you could pull this look off with any spectrum of colors: black and gray, brown and cream, or red and orange if you are Viviana Volpicella.
So, let's break it down:
- Nubby knit sweater.
- Ankle length trousers, jeans, or lounge pants in this case.
- Bag in same color family as your pants and top but not matching. I think if you go with black pants and black bag you kind of miss the look.
- Chunky watch or a wrist full of bracelets to fem it up a bit.
- Shoes with a clean silhouette but an interesting print. Strappy evening sandals with flouncies would not work here.
Other than the Celine bag I am salivating over, I don't know much about the other pieces. But, for a similar look,I think the items below would be perfecto!
PS - If you are heels adverse (which I am during the day) or want to tone the shoe portion down a bit pair with brogues, loafer, or driving mocs.
