WIW: Cameron & Tom

September 13, 2013

Today is the debut of my taupe Tom suede wedge booties - this is why I LOVE autumn! It is also office filing day (we're in the midst of rearranging our clerks' space so we're all working today on cleaning out paper no longer needed) so casual comfort is required.

I paired my new oh-so-comfy booties with my Cameron slim BF jeans and a semi tucked yellow/oatmeal striped light weight pull over.I added my animal print belt for a bit of pattern mixing and visual interest. Using my light cream handbag for a bit of lightness and because I was just too darned lazy to change my handbag from yesterday - lol! Gold watch and wedding band are all for jewelry.

What do you think? I wondered if I should roll the jeans one more time so more of the booties showed or is this length the best as it is more leg lengthening for me? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.

Jeans: True Religion

    I love this outfit and the booties are gorgeous. The length looks good but maybe our more experienced YLF ers can advise on whether to roll more!

    LOVE! Loving those booties so much - may need to lemming it.

    Great look Shannon! The booties look great with the jeans.

  • Jaime replied 10 years ago

    Great boots and I love how they match the stripe in the sweater. I like the jeans as is, but you should try a roll and see what you think next time.

    I need a visual to see what another roll would look like but am loving the unusual colors of the striped top with the booties. I've been eyeing those booties but have been afraid of the high wedge. Good to know that you find them comfortable. I ended up with a pair of SE putty Petty booties instead.

    Great outfit. I think the jeans look good as is, but Ill be checking back to see what others say, as this is a question I ask myself all the time.

    What Shevia said!

    Ah, I wish I had those kinds of days at work! The yellow sweater is great for transitioning - warmer but not dark and heavy yet. Cute booties!

  • Sara L. replied 10 years ago

    Looks good! I like the yellow stripes and the booties together.  The yellow is cheerful and summery even though you are transitioning to cooler weather.

    Lovely Soft shades Shannon. I love the new booties and I like the jeans as they are, but there's no harm in trying another roll next time to see  if you like it.

    Great new booties and perfect casual outfit. You're having Autumn? It's still 99 here. UGH.

  • shedev replied 10 years ago

    I really like the booties with the sweater.

  • Isabel replied 10 years ago

    Great outfit. You look good in yellow ! The booties are great.

    I am with TXstyle, it was so humid and miserable here today. UGH.

    But YAY for you !!!!

    Your two boyfriends are treating you well. I was waiting to see these shoes and I am not disappointed. Lovely! Off to the Toms website. ha ha

  • Lantana replied 10 years ago

    l say yea to another roll or two on the jeans. I would like to see a bit more of the booties.
    Love you in yellow and denim Shannon.

  • goldenpig replied 10 years ago

    Love the striped sweater and boyfriend jeans. Funny how my eyes have adjusted from my prior tailored fit and tucked waist and skinny jeans to oversized and slouchy. Who would have thought even I would jump on the bandwagon? You are always right on trend, Shannon!
    As for the roll, I need pics to compare! Cute booties though! 

  • Beth Ann replied 10 years ago

    I don't have much visual imagination, so I'd need to see the additional roll to give any good advice there, however, I like them as is and didn't think to myself, "Doesn't she know she should roll those more, poor dear."

    Those Toms look great, and they harmonize so beautifully with the rest of the outfit.  I wish they had them in warm brown or berry for my wardrobe.  I've only seen tan and black.

  • Transcona Shannon replied 10 years ago

    Sorry for popping back in so late. Not enough hours in the day, you know?

    I'm glad this outfit looked ok to your eyes - I did keep the jeans this length but will try them with an additional roll next time.

    I must say that the Toms are unbelievably comfortable. I ended up doing a ton of running around at work yesterday and my feet were happy the whole time, despite it being the first time wearing them.
