Outfit 8 of 30. The place where I work hosts an annual auction with some pretty amazing items up for grabs. There is a trip to Barbados, a ski weekend in Vermont, a Tiffany bracelet… etc… So my job lately has been to photograph the silent auction items in order to better showcase the things both during the event and before hand online. I took advantage of the setting to take some fun shots and get my outfit pics into the mix too.
This shirt is a challenge, which is why I included it in the 30 for 30 in the first place. It is uber-comfortable but so shapeless it should be a crime. I’m looking forward to re-creating it a couple different ways and finding the best way to wear it. For this look, I think the scarf really helped to tone down the hugeness of the top and create a little dimension.
And these black pants are my go-to work pants. They are comfortable, easy to wear sitting or standing all day. They are pretty flattering and they don’t have a zipper or buttons or even an elastic waist. You just pull them up and are ready to go. Yes, my mom had a pair of similar pants a few years back and I made fun of her for them. But really these are such an easy solution. It’s like walking around in yoga pants but not actually being in yoga pants.
Tip: Listen to your mom. She might actually be on to something.

Love the shirt. I am slightly addicted to shapeless things, which I usually belt (large chest + shapeless= all sorts of wrong) but the scarf definitely adds some shape and visual definition.
I think I have the same NY&Co. pants, they are the best for work! I don't think the shirt is too bad, maybe it's just because I am viewing it with the scarf

what a great outfit. it looks effortlessly cool and chic. I am a big fan of H&M scarfs, wearing one myself in outfit n.9 today.
You have very pretty eyes.
Also…DO WANT THAT SCARF.
XD
I really like the oversized gray top! You still look super chic and work appropriate. I'm going to have to go and get a pair of those pants once the 30 for 30 is over and I'm allowed to shop again!

I have a few tops like that. One of the ways I like to mix them up is by pairing them w/highwaisted pants or skirts. I tuck the top in and belt it. For me it works great bc it makes my body look longer – since you have a taller frame the pants idea may not go as well but a skirt would probably work nicely. Just a thought about another way to mess w/oversized shirts.
This outfit looks so comfy! I love that scarf, it reminds me of all the ones waiting to be worn I have stashed in my closet. Such a beautiful color.
I must say I love this outfit, including (especially) the drapiness of the top. The combo with those pants and scarf is luxe, comfy and chic.
cute shirt and braclet!
also, can you add me to friend friday google thing again? I changed my email. It's no longer gangsterpixie@gmail but walden.annie@gmail dot com
Love blousey shirts! I like Alli XT's advice on tucking it in, and you can also cut down on the poufiness by belting it or wearing it with a cardigan/jacket/blazer.
I love the scarf!! I love anything sparkly but I love how dressed-up casual this looks. The pop of the scarf really adds great color to the outfit!
I'm loving the massive volume going on here! I think most people would have naturally gravitated to skinny jeans or leggings with that top, but the flowy black pants look fantastic!
Oh I love love love this outfit!! It's the perfect mix of casual/dressy, comfy/chic. I have a scarf with some gold sparkle & you've inspired me to pull it out!
I love your top it looks super comfy. The stripped scarf is fab as well, nice pop of color. I love your silly band that peeking out, lol.
That scarf really add pizazz to your outfit! Love it!
