Another outfit to critique, pls!

[gmail]

I wore this new top from Target yesterday (with khaki capris), and it needs *something* more...but I can't figure out what. Different pants? Necklace?



Sorry for the bad lighting!

[mrsredrox]

I would definitely add a chunky necklace!

[beahbia12]

I think a short chunky gold, turquoise, or hot pink necklace would be pretty!

Even adding a pop of color with your shoes would be cute.

Where does one find cheap necklaces? Like under $15 cheap...if that's even possible

[beahbia12]

Target, Forever 21, Charlotte Russe, JCP, Charming Charlies...

Cute top, gmail! It actually seems like it'll be really versatile. With your outfit there, I'd try it next time with different shoes, maybe a darker color.

I also think that top would be really cute with some dark jeans.

It would also be cute with no belt and a long pendant necklace.

I would wear it with different pants, like jeans. And definevetely a chunk necklace

Definitely a necklace. Also, and maybe its just the angle of the pic, but I think you need some slimmer fit pants with this. There's some bunching and its looking a little baggy, so its sort of bordering on frumpy. Its not terrible, but something with a more tailored fit would be better. I would also switch up the shoes. Perhaps some pumps in navy, nude, or a color pop would be nice, or a basic wedge. That would also help with the borderline frump, haha.

The top is awesome!!

Thanks ladies. I got a ton of compliments on it. One of my coworkers said "You are updating your wardrobe!"
Well...yeah, I am....but thanks for basically telling me I dress like crap every other day!

Thanks!

We are actually going to NYC this wknd, so I'll see if some random street vendors have stuff, too.

Try layering a white cardi over it, dark washed jeans (skinny or bootcut). Pick a color in the shirt and do a color pop with your shoes. Chunky necklace or bangles plus drop earrings.

By doing khaki plus nude shoes, all the visual interest is in your shirt. You just need little hints of pop elsewhere.

No, you're right. The pants started of slim in the AM, and by the early afternoon, they were baggier.
It felt kind of frumpy.

I wouldn't add a chunky necklace. The top already has so much color and pattern to it. I'd add a pair of yellow or navy flats or wedges to even everything out. Right now, all the colors are concentrated on your upper half.

I like the pp's recs. For me, I'd be sure that the necklace is one solid color that's in the top and not a multi-color necklace.

I also like adlove's no belt and pendant.

Congrats on your coworker compliments! I hope you're feeling confident and comfortable with yourself as you're making updates!!

[billysgirl07]

I agree on adding a necklace. I love the top and will be headed to Target later today...

[gmail]

Ooooh so many options!

[magdala9]

That top, khaki capris and bright shoes in the red or yellow color from the top.

[mariafromnj]

I think as others have said that a good necklace would be good and maybe different shoes. You can check NY&Co they have some cute inexpensive jewelry.

[busybodyk]

I tried on that blouse and it looks soo much better on you than me! So cute!

I would swap the bottoms for dark jeans, white jeans or a pencil skirt, add a bright shoe and a chunky bracelet or dangly earrings. I would not add a necklace.

This was my thought word for other other than the pencil skirt. Hadn't considered pencil skirt, but it would work.

[gmail]

I have a khaki pencil skirt, and a lipstick red one.

[carylee07]

Lipstick red would be hot!
