Friday outfit critique

[ohgillian]

Learned that my only pair of black pants (Express Editor) are boot cut, so I tried for a more streamlined look up top, which is why I tucked my top in. I typically would have gone untucked. Also, I went with pointy shoes, rather than roundy flats which I would have done typically. Suggestions for improvement?

I will say I feel like these pants make me look a little heavy. I'm 5'2 and 115, and feel like I look 125 here.

I don't think those pants are right for you. You need something with a slimmer cut.

I agree with olives, that a slimmer cut would work better OR they need to be longer, they are too short to wear with heels.

I think so too, and I literally never noticed that until this week. I've worn them at least 2x/week for a few years. Uh - oops. Live and learn.

Hoping to make a trip to the mall this weekend, taking with me a lot of what I'm learning from you guys. So, thank you for all the help on my outfits!

I agree about more slimming pants, but love the top! I'd also do a statement necklace with it or a floral/fun scarf to add some color.

Thanks! I almost wore the white necklace I wore yesterday (pandce.proboards.com/thread/544184/day-cute-mind-meh-reality) but I thought it was too busy? So I tried to fake my own layered necklace and of course my 3 year old said, "mama, why are you wearing two necklaces?" Sigh. I'll try this same shirt again this weekend with skinny jeans and a different necklace.

I agree that the pants aren't the right fit but otherwise I think this is your best look yet!

I'm totally on board with layering necklaces!  I would have selected a chunkier or brighter one--perhaps orange, turquoise, red--I think white would look good too! 

Thanks for sharing the top!  I'm 7.5 months pregnant with twins right now, so I'm living vicariously through everyone who isn't in maternity dresses every day!
