WIW: Aviators & Lace Moto

July 15, 2014

Today's outfit started with my navy lace moto - haven't worn this for a bit and after putting it on this morning, am wondering why not. Still love it! Maybe this is one of the benefits of simplifying my closet and wardrobe - rediscovery.

I've popped the lace moto over a column of black (adore black and navy together) - a simple black tank fully tucked into my Aviator trousers with a black leather belt added.

For footwear, I chose my trusty and oh so comfy black heeled sandals and for accessories, went with my olive/cobalt snakeskin clutch, black/white specs and silver bangle with silver wedding band.

Really happy with this look even though it's fairly dark. What do you think? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.

Moto: INC
Tank: Smart Set
Trousers: J Brand
Sandals: Clarks
Clutch: Trouve

    Love this! The clutch is fantastic with the outfit -- and you should wear that jacket more often. It's beautiful.

    Great outfit. The column of color brings out the lace.

    I love this! I have never actually done navy and black. I have always just liked it in theory. This combo inspires me to try it.

  • Joy replied 9 years ago

    This should be a frequent repeat, it is that wonderful. Once again kicking myself for not getting that moto.

    This is really cute, and I just hearted it to copy this look sometime soon. You look tough and feminine all at the same time!

    I love this outfit! The navy moto looks fantastic with your black outfit. I also love navy and black together, especially since it used to be such a fashion "no no" (I love breaking old rules!). That clutch is divine, such a pretty color of snakeskin.

    Great outfit!  Love the navy and black together.

  • jackiec replied 9 years ago

    Fab! I love the column of black topped with blue lace! Very lengthening and slimming. YLF as usual :)

  • Neel replied 9 years ago

    I like how the blue and browns in clutch work with the blue lace jacket and the base of the sandals. I find it very cohesive. A column of color with some kind of topper is a fail proof formula - isn't it? The aviators are clearly workhorses for you!

    A beautiful and elegant outfit. You look very tall in this outfit. I love that moto jacket. It really adds an amazing texture. How fun that you "rediscovered" it! I love navy and black together. Funny enough, a few years ago I REALLY didn't like them together and now I wonder why because it looks so good.

    More love for this outfit from me.  I have a navy lace jacket that it languishing unworn (in my basement thrift store now).  I'm going to have to try it over all black...

    Love the way the jacket and bag work together visually, very rich in detail but harmonious. Great outfit!

  • Lisa replied 9 years ago

    I'm also a fan of navy and black.  And lace is lovely for summertime.  Nice outfit!

  • texstyle replied 9 years ago

    Great outfit - that moto is really a great piece for you. The clutch adds a nice color contrast without being too bright.

  • Beth Ann replied 9 years ago

    Thanks, Shannon!  You just gave me a new combo to try in my closet:  My BR navy moto with my silky track pants!

    Love the lace with moto styling --- and the lightweight jacket is perfect for the Summer office. 

  • Caro in Oz replied 9 years ago

    Fabulous - I love that moto on you, please wear it more often :) :)

  • annagybe replied 9 years ago

    Nice'

  • Deborah replied 9 years ago

    Perfection! A column of black with a navy topper...does it get any better!

  • Jaime replied 9 years ago

    I love how the aviator trousers update this brilliant formula. Terrific!

  • karymk replied 9 years ago

    OK dying over that jacket on you. Wear it more!

I started playing dress up when I was 4 years old and haven't stopped since! My income doesn't match my tastes so it's all about figuring out how to thrift my way to a fashionable life while tossing in a few delectable items.
