I saw several comments from ladies asking me to post products that are not my favorites. Honestly, I prefer talking about items that I love since it is way easier, and I don’t like talking bad about an item since someone else might absolutely love it! Take distressed jeans for instance; I love them, but a lot of you are fans. So, today, I’m showing a hit or miss post and asking you, would you wear it?

In talking about if something is a hit or miss, I’m talking about the style mostly, but fit might also come into play. If you love the style of an outfit, you can always change the size that you are wearing to see if it will fit you better. But, if the style isn’t to your liking, then you have to ask yourself, would your wear it. If the answer is no, then let’s see what you can tweak to make it more your style.

There are a lot of elements to an outfit besides the top, bottom, and shoes. You also have accessories and a complementary piece that can change up the look, so don’t forget to think about adding or subtracting those.

Let’s start with this red ribbed crisscross sweater by Sofia Vergara. I bought this sweater for a couple of reasons, but mostly because I had Valentine’s Day in mind. The peek-a-boo openings are kind of a thing right now, and I thought they might add some sex appeal to my look. But, I’m not sold on the look.

I love the bright red color, and my bra straps aren’t showing through the openings, so that is a plus. Ribbed clothing always seems to run small, so I ordered a large, and it fits…snugly. It isn’t ridiculously tight, but it is very snug, as in you see the oreo I had for dessert tight.

The sweater’s length is just fine, and I don’t have any complaints about that. And, even though the top is snug, you can’t see back fat oozing out from around my bra, so that is another plus! Lol!

I added these Red Kyocera Opal heart earrings c/o Kendra Scott to my outfit to make it even more festive looking for Valentine’s Day. These drop earrings are super cute and the small beads around the heart add a little something extra. The stone is especially beautiful in person, but it was hard to show that in my photographs.

I love the modern ankle jeans from Talbots. There is something about these jeans that are spot on! They hit me at the right spot on my ankle, they aren’t baggy but they aren’t snug, and I even love the color. You see me wearing these a lot for a good reason, they are modern looking and fit great. I’m wearing an 8 since I usually size down one size in Talbots clothing.

Now, it’s time for you to get vocal. What do you think, is this a hit or miss, and would you wear it. Or, would you wear parts of it and switch out for something else?

  1. I think the top would look better with black pants, but the top isn’t for me with cutouts. I’d switch out red flats for heels.

  2. Jackie Young says:

    Nope, the top, in my opinion, looks cheap and just like what Sofia would wear. Cheap not classy. Like the jeans but I’m tall and know they would look like capris unless they came in talls. You look beautiful but don’t love this look. Remember, you asked. 😍

    You look great ! The outfit looks good on you,I can tell you have lost weight . I am 4’9 117 lbs (59 yrs old) I wish I could wear tops like this but back fat would kill the sexy look on me LOL!! I was drawn to your blogs because you put outfits together I would never dream of and you look classy. Im like you described yourself re decorating a house when it comes to clothes. I loved reading as you give ideas for switching tops or pants for more outfit choices. I can see you are trying hard to please your viewers with your blog. Look how many followers you have from just being you and blogging your way. I have daughters that each have events I must dress for. I never know what to wear to fit in with lawyers, doctors etc. I look to you for inspiration as I don’t want to be over dressed or under dressed. Pull on old navy jeans or spanx jeans with a top have ruined me. Im looking at a year of social event with my youngest graduating from law school in May to her wedding in December and all the social events related to each. I just want to say I enjoy your blog and keep being you !

    I wouldn’t even try the top or the earrings. The jeans are awesome. But that’s me — I think the top with the slits in it is done in a way that is much more appealing and effective than most tops with slits. It’s rather elegant and the earrings are fun.

    I like the jeans and also have a similar pair from Talbots. The top I wouldn’t wear, but I think it looks nice on you. I don’t do heels, but you show me how they can really dress up an outfit! I would give your outfit a B+.

    Looking sexy…like this

  7. You look good in the outfit and it fits your personality. The top is not for me nor are the heels. The top too cutesy an snug and the heels too high for me and seems like I’m trying too hard. I like the jeans and love the earrings. These are great posts – keep them coming.

  8. Stephanie Rodriguez says:

    I love this look. This sweater feels appropriate for day or night; shows “just enough” skin; and would also work for Christmas. I would keep this wash of denim and add leopard print flats for a day look or wear a darker wash jeans and the red heels for a night out.

  9. You look fabulous ! Would not change a thing!

    This outfit is a HIT – you look awesome…
