Outfit: Caramel, Chocolate, and Olive

Today's work outfit.

Shirt: Gap. Pants: Madewell. Shoes and necklace: Anthro. Belt: J. Crew.

This combination was so much fun to wear. The softness of the oversized blouse (actually a tunic tucked in) is offset by the masculinity of the high-waisted trousers, the braided leather belt, and, of course, the fabulous chocolate booties by Schuler & Sons.

These are the sold-out Times Three Booties that netted something like fifty reviews on the Anthro website. I very nearly missed these myself: I had to call customer service twice and finally a store in Houston in order to track my size down. Every minute and dollar was worth it. They fit beautifully and are so flattering.

When it got chilly, I threw on the Abbraccio cardigan by J. Crew.

Just the right combination of sharp and slouchy. Lastly, the necklace adds an unpredictable element. A white blouse is meant to be worn with a statement neckpiece, and this one certainly fit the bill. I'll do a feature on it tomorrow. For now, though,
