It started with a simple idea - pair olive linen shorts I've had for ages with a newish black silk camp shirt. My first instinct was to add neutral heels and a clutch, making this look perfect for a night out (pictured). But yesterday I needed a chic daytime ensemble, so I adapted the look by wearing a low brown wedge (similar to these) and a brown crossbody bag. Combining a mix of black, olive and brown to create a safari feel is one of my favorite outfit ideas. How would you accessorize this look?

just found your blog! WOW!!! you are amazing!!!! following you for sure!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous look! I love the shirt. I think you've worn it once before, paired with the exact same shoes and it was one of my fave looks ever! It's so chic and sexy. Great combination with the olive shorts, though. I love it. :-)
ReplyDeleteLOVE this look!! I have a question about your MK runway watch...I just got one for my b-day on Friday. It's so big, which I love, but it's taking me a bit to get used to, and I was debating on going down to a smaller face. I think mine is the 44 or 45mm, but the next size down I think is 38mm. Do you have any advice or thoughts on this?
ReplyDeleteI am loving your look more! The shoes you paired are amazing :)

As far as accessorizing goes, it definitely calls for GOLD. Torquoise or green torquoise and gold would also be awesome.
ReplyDeleteLove this outfit! I decided I need to go through your outfits thumbnails on Facebook and create my own inspiration board in my closet! It's hard to remember all your awesome ideas!
ReplyDeletethis is is def. my favorite look from you!

I love the safari look, especially with you wearing your hair wavy. Looks great!

What's funny is I'm wearing really similar shorts right now! Except I paired them with a navy graphic tee. Thanks for the inspiration for next time!
ReplyDeleteI love how you accessorized this look! I bet the day look was fabulous too! Your shoes are amazing!

I love it! I would definitely accessorize it with fun pops of gold OR neon yellow. Either could be fun...the neon more trendy and the gold more classic!

i really like the dark on dark. i don't do this often, but i think it's a great look!
ReplyDeletehttp://ohhhsolovely.blogspot.com/
This might be my favourite outfit on you, dare I say, ever!!? You look fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteThen again, every time you wear those shoes I start drooling!
I really like this look a lot! It reminds me of a picture I see often on Pinterest of Jennifer Aniston wearing a similar outfit.

I have been obsessed with a similar look to this all summer but I haven't been able to find shorts anywhere!! Now I know!

Super cute!

Good memory Mia! I wore this shirt and these shoes with lavender jeans. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Emma and welcome to the blog! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Tara. MK makes a lot of great watches in different sizes - I don't think you can go wrong, just pick one that you feel the most comfortable wearing!
ReplyDeleteWould have loved to see the day time look too!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this look. I've seen a lot of your looks but this one I loved so much I had to post. I like the way you accessorized. I would have also added dome pop of color with the jewelry. Perhaps something bright like a coral, pink, or neon, really anything goes. I think it depends on the personality. Your legs are totally making this. Work it!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this outfit! The color palette is gorgeous and I like the feminine touch with the heels! <3
ReplyDeleteHow would I accessorize this look? I just *love* your outfit here for a night out, J.!! For a daytime look, I might wear your (8/9/12 post) Nine West Wedge Sandals, with their brass METALLIC studs and heel-back zipper............
ReplyDeletehttp://www.jseverydayfashion.com/2012/08/todays-everyday-fashion-birthday-bag.html ............which might look good with your (12/21/10 post) "safari//tribal feel" turquoise Aldo necklace, with it's gold, stylized METALLIC "leaves"............ http://www.jseverydayfashion.com/2010/12/todays-everyday-fashion-lucky-magazine.html !!
Interestingly, your basic 12/21/10 outfit has just the reverse colors of your outfit, (Above)............ i.e., it has an olive sweater and black jeans. Your turquoise and gold Aldo necklace is really *g.o.r.g.e.o.u.s.* with it, too!!
I LOVE YOUR SHOES!! I have been scourin the web for them! Are they a recent purchase? Do you happen to know a style name?
ReplyDeleteShannon, I got these shoes last winter. Colin Stuart is sold exclusively at Victoria's Secret (and MJR Sales) so if they don't have them, unfortunately no one will. :-( They are a copycat of a Nicolas Kirkwood shoe from a couple years ago.
ReplyDeleteLOVE!!! Great colors :)

ReplyDeleteNatalia, http://my-crazy-idea.blogspot.com
One of your best outfits ever J! How cute?!!!
ReplyDeleteJ--every time you incorporate those heels in an outfit, I spend an hour searching for them! Can you tell me the style name? Colin Stuart....
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Another J :)
