My favorite - a reader submission!! Reader Jacci from Ohio sent in an adorable pic of herself in what she described as a classic & comfy mom uniform: a t-shirt dress and leggings.
Jacci makes it cold-weather friendly by layering it over a basic long sleeve t-shirt, then adding tall boots and a denim jacket. She then dresses the whole look up a bit with a gorgeous statement necklace. I'm LOVING the rolled sleeves - perfection.
If it's as as cold as it looks in the pic, I think the whole outfit (denim jacket included) would also look amazing layered under a parka.
Want a better pic of the dress & t-shirt? Yes, of course you do:
I also love the hair tie around her wrist - a girl after my own heart!!
This outfit would be so easy to re-create. Bust out some summer dresses (Jacci actually informed us that this was her beach coverup from last year - brilliant!!), throw them over leggings and long sleeve tee, add your tall boots and statement necklace. Or a cool scarf.
I just remembered where I had seen the parka-over-denim jacket idea. Refinery 29 pulled it from a Net-a-Porter lookbook:
Wouldn't a parka totally work with Jacci's outfit? And oooo...Jacci, I think layering a striped tee under the dress would also be a nice touch! And still very much a part of "classic" style! Especially when the sleeves are rolled over the denim, as in the first pic.
Jacci also has a fashion blog, In Search of Chic, where she's been posting her daily outfits as part of a 30-for-30 remix challenge (30 pieces of clothing, 30 outfits). As someone who also feels a bit silly when photographed, her post, Only Incredibly Dorky People Do This totally cracked me up.
Jacci, you rock. Thank you SO much for sending in your outfit pictures!!
xo,
S
ps. Lest you forget, I wanted to mention (again) that we'd so appreciate your vote for best fashion blog in the 2011 Bloggies...
