I don’t know if the color of this top is exactly a neutral – its a kind of putty color that sometimes looks olive. J Crew calls it “mink.” I’m a sucker for all the lovely shades of grey J Crew has invented but “mink” is less than helpful as a color description. But, I’m using it as a neutral and considering this a mix of black and brown. I wore this top with navy last time, but I think the black makes the “mink” look so much richer.
The top came with a thin waist-creating tie which I removed for this iteration. I tucked the base of the top into my high-waisted skirt and let the flutters drape over the top. I think it makes this otherwise sweat detail a little more dramatic, even edgy. I usually think of mixed neutrals as creating a generally soft look or sometimes a very polished professional look, but in this third stab at the color wheel challenge, I wanted to push my use of neutrals into a new kind of look. I think “edgy mink” is definitely new for me!
Fantastic. You turned your mink into a minx!
This is a great look! Very sophisticated and subtly sexy.
Edgy mink is the perfect description! I love that top and tucked into the skirt like that is gorgeous.
This might be my favorite outfit of yours since I’ve started reading. The colour of the tank is PERFECT for your colouring, that skirt is so incredibly flattering, and letting the flutter detail to hang over the skirt really does elevate the top from “awesome” to “awesome saucesome.”
i just love love love this look! it’s so flattering on you; the top is gorgeous; the skirt is amazing. you look fantastic!
That shirt is awesome. You look super chic!
Oh my goodness! You look stunning! Simply stunning! Were you headed somewhere special? This looks like a much nicer outfit than knocking around doing errands, and not exactly a teaching outfit either! :-)
I love the ruffles coming down past the waist of the skirt. So great!
My favorite so far!
I really love the silhouette and the color!
My favorite so far! I love the ruffles cascading down the skirt. Definitely edgy.
This is definitely a favorite outfit. I love the ruffles, the way they waterfall over the skirt and your shiny sleek heels. A very pretty outfit indeed.
Love this outfit. The ruffles are gorgeous, and you look lovely.
I think the “mink” paired with the black is an absolutely stunning combination! Beautiful!
I love “edgy mink” – great description! I love this outfit and have to agree that the fluttery detail of the shirt adds some drama to the look. Ruffles are always fun :)
This is a beautiful combination of black and brown. The ruffles are a very nice detail!
