Try-it-out Tuesday: all-star outfit

     I wore this two Saturdays ago, to catch up with a friend. This is one of those rare outfits that makes me smile when I look in the mirror: it just looks like my style. Garnet, onyx, gray and a splash of aquamarine are a pretty good color combo.  (Note: I wore black wedges instead of the gold ones I'm wearing in the photograph.)  I haven't really worn this top due to the too-long straps, but I figured out that knotting them was an easy fix -- and I felt like a genius aaaalll night. :)
 

rayon-linen top, Old Navy (pink cotton)

beach INC linen shorts, Macy's (Old Navy's version has cotton)

Banana Republic cardigan, passed down from Mom

Carole necklace, Nordstrom Rack clearance (this one is cute, too!)

Oia Jules bracelet, giveaway win

    And before you go, let me sing the praises of these linen shorts for you: a) great length and fit = not too short or too long, not too tight or too loose; b) linen = cool; c) pull-on waist = comfy and lots of room for that Greek pizza; d) black, so even though they're made out of wrinkly linen, the wrinkles are harder to see.
