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?

Let me hear your inner fashionista come out!!!

  1. Looks cute on you, but it’s not my style.

  2. I live the jeans, but I’m not a fan of cut outs.

  3. DoxyLover says:

    Love this outfit! So pretty on you! On me, I would wear with cute booties most likely. Heels are pretty much a no go unless a very special occasion. You look great! :0)

  4. Kim Hoehn says:

    I don’t love the top, but I want to order the jeans! And you look great in the outfit!

  5. Kathy+in+Michigan says:

    Hi, Tania! I can’t imagine you need any more input–but I’ll give some anyway. 😉 First of all, you look dynamite in that outfit! And very trim! As for what I’d wear: I’ve always disliked the cut-out look, but it’s definitely a popular trend, so to each his own. And ribbed shirts always fit oddly–they’re always so clingy that even if you get a size that’s too big, they still cilng! So ribbed tops are another thing I stay away from. I like the jeans and the red heels together a lot; I’d wear that. I wouldn’t ever wear heels and jeans around the house, but would do it out to dinner, for sure. I think a more neutral top would make the red heels look even more chic. I’m not crazy about those earrings; believe it or not, I like them in your photo, but didn’t like them at all in the close-up view of them via the link. There you have it! Hope you have a sweet Valentine’s Day, whatever you wear!

  6. Stephanie Rodriguez comment was spot on!! You look fabulous !!!!

  7. Vicki Sheaves says:

    I love that outfit on you, however not a fan of those pumps with the jeans. Personally I think a pair of ankle boots would look better. You are beautiful.

  8. Janet Rector Bryant says:

    I don’t like the crisscross. If the top had a scoop neck I would love it. It looks really cute on you. Quite slimming.

  9. Sorry to say this would be a miss for me. And this is absolutely NO reflection on you, personally. Just the clothes. The red sweater with cut outs screams cheap. If trying to look modern and youthful, this isn’t it (I can’t imagine a younger woman that would wear this). It quite literally looks like something Sophia Vergara would wear as her Gloria character on Modern Family. Too va-va-voom, try hard, or whatever. I’m also not a fan of colored pumps, especially if color-matched to another part of the outfit. Neutral would be a better, more modern choice. The jeans look pretty nice, though I wouldn’t wear them with pumps, especially not red ones. Heeled boots, yes, in a neutral color. Sorry to sound so critical, but we are playing “hit or miss”!

    I like the outfit but don’t love it. I would probably buy it for the same reason but then not wear it. I love the earring peeking through. I think the top would look better with a dark wash navy jean. But overall it is very flattering on you.
