So it’s a good time to evaluate this item in my closet. After taking this jacket off during the day, I noticed the leather was cracking at the fold of the collar. The disadvantage is that the faux leather items don’t last as long. To me, this is the best way to try out a style you’re not sure about. This is a faux leather jacket and very inexpensive. What does that have to do with this jacket? I bought this jacket while I was working 6 years ago to see if I’d wear a neutral leather jacket much. And while I love the idea, everyone is so different, that you can’t fit into a one size fits all like that. You always read those lists of things you need in your closet. And I love this color because it goes with everything. Luckily I saw these at Target and they were WAY more comfy. However, the ivory pair was a different brand and rubbed against my ankle bone so I returned them. The funny thing is that I had ordered a pair like these in ivory months before I bought these. I love the asymmetrical detail of the side panel. This pair of shoes is a great neutral pair that is almost a hybrid of booties and loafers.
While I’m trying not to sound like a broken record about how the weather changed up my outfit, I was going to wear a cute pair of sandals. Personally choosing a favorite shoe is like picking a favorite ice cream….impossible. The whole theme for our Ageless style was red, white and shoes to focus on our favorite summer shoes. This yellow pair is from Maurice’s and while I used to think this store was only for young girls, I’ve now changed my mind. My suggestion if you aren’t exactly sure about this idea, is to buy an inexpensive pair to start. But after you have those, why not experiment with other fun colors? Sure, it’s good to have the basic neutral jeans like blue, black and white. Yet my rationale for trying out yellow jeans is because they are perfect for bringing in a summery lightness to any outfit. I may be in the minority about loving different color jeans. But obviously it was light enough for the photochromic option to kick in. Like this day was rainy, so I wouldn’t have even thought to bring sunglasses. Especially on the days you aren’t even sure you’ll need them. It’s SO convenient not to carry a separate pair of sunnies with me everywhere I go. This pair is from one of the companies, Voogue Me, which I talked about in my online prescription glasses post. I think I need to change out all of mine to the ones that are transitional like these. Let me just comment real quick on these glasses. You’ve seen this scarf on all three of us worn differently in the past. Since I had to change up my outfit at the last minute and wear a jacket, this scarf did the trick. Scarves are a great way to pull together all the colors in an outfit. It’s only because of the weather that I even considered adding a scarf.
And while I’d normally pair it with white jeans or blue jeans, I wanted to try something different today. I have worn this top other times on the blog. Sure, it’s perfect for the 4th of July, yet stars can work for anytime. That’s what I consider this striped shirt with the star on the front. Only since retiring have I even considered whimsical clothing pieces. Now, if the weather had been nicer, I wouldn’t have needed the jacket, so this outfit turned out very different from my original planning. It’s those two bright primary colors that seem very summery to me. I love the idea of pairing red and white with yellow.

So just consider this more of a spring or fall look. The weather did not cooperate for having us showcase summer styles. My mom went matchy matchy, and then I found other examples of the color combination. That’s why I’m glad, Nancy added in black to her red and white pieces since black is always a popular neutral. Quote of the day: “The true secret of giving advice is, after you have honestly given it, to be perfectly indifferent whether it is taken or not and never persist in trying to set people straight.” Hannah Whitall SmithĪfter reading this quote, I realized that not everyone loves so many colors in one outfit. Since our theme this month thanks to Shelly, is red, white and shoes, I wanted to expand on that idea. It’s fun to think about how to wear a red and white striped shirt especially with other colors.
