Chic sighting: Mixing bright colors, with metallic shoes

May 15, 2013
 

Yesterday was the first truly spring-like day here in Chicago.  This was the kind of outfits that I saw often on the street – bright colors, floral sleeveless tops, and metallic flats.  Bright and springy, but still very appropriate for most offices!

orange and pink tank – Topshop, orange cardigan – Mango, Pink chinos- Levi’s Made & Crafted, gold flats – Rocket Dog, yellow and green tank – Madewell, green cardigan – Paul Smith, yellow capris – Erika Cavallini

blue tank – Uniqlo, blue cardigan – Dorothy Perkins, hot pink capris – Miu Miu, green tank – Uniqlo, mint cardigan – Dorothy Perkins, lavender capris – Mother Denim, silver flats – Louise et Cie

love,

Janice

    Love the way the cardigan has replaced the jacket and suit jacket these days–as the way to bring both casual and office outfits together.

    The first pink one has a fun 50's vibe :)

    Metallic shoes are my favourite for summer.

    These are my kind of outfits, especially with the metallic shoes. I particularly love the gold pair. I think I will be popping into Dorothy Perkins and Uniglo when I visit the UK next month!

    That first photo frame is so pretty. Looks a bit like my cutting garden just beginning to emerge from hibernation.

    I don't care for prints. I know that they are fashionable right now, but the outfits above do not seem to fit the Vivienne Files aesthetic. I will keep looking for the kinds of things I have seen heretofore.
