WIW 12/9: Worker Beetle aka Dragonfly Girl

Thanks so much for your helpful feedback on my Tory Burch K/R post earlier:
http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....fly-outfit
Here is what I ended up keeping. I decided to ditch the matchy matchy sweater and wear it with my ink blue blazer instead. It's still plenty matchy matchy and whimsical for me, but feels a little more luxe and sophisticated for work. I still got a lot of comments on the shoes and the outfit in general. One person was walking behind me as I was climbing the stairs and said, "WHOA! Those are amazing shoes!" Another nurse said I looked "super sassy". Ha. Hopefully this strikes a balance between office drone Worker Beetle and superhero Dragonfly Girl. What do you think, do you like it, or is it still too over the top?

By the way, these dragonfly pumps are 4 inch and I know people said they are too high and I should return them, but I couldn't resist, they are gorgeous. They are definitely limited walking shoes because of the heel height (I wouldn't wear them on call, but they were OK for the office). I brought my teal ballet flats just in case (7), but I ended up making it through the day with my pumps on and kicked them off for the drive home.

ETA: You can vote on my returns thread if there's something you think I should keep! Otherwise I think I'm going to return the extra items. Thanks!

    I am absolutely thrilled you kept these awesome shoes - and I think that the navy blazer you chose goes perfectly with the tones in your new blouse and skirt set!

    I am so in love :)

  • Alassë replied 10 years ago

    Yes, the navy blazer works well.

  • Liz A. replied 10 years ago

    Did you keep the dragonfly pendant?

  • shedev replied 10 years ago

    Those shoes are awesome.

  • bella replied 10 years ago

    This is good, but I have to say, the super matchy matchy version was really sassy.

    Thanks Lyn, Alasse, Liz, Shedev & Bella. Liz (& Bella), you can vote on my return thread if there's something else you think I should save!

    I like this blazer version! It somehow feels more ladylike (maybe the waist buttons and hem flare?) that the sweater outfit. Great look and very sassy! :)

    Oh, yay, you kept the parts I liked! =)  If you recall, it was just the sweater I had issues with.  I much prefer it with the blue blazer.

    Fab!

    You are fully responsible for making me buy this btw...

    I usually ignore TB in a head-in-sand kind of way but the sale prices (which your post alerted me to) were doable so I bought myself a pre-40th birthday treat!

    You do look super sassy and those shoes are seriously amazing!

  • Aubergine replied 10 years ago

    I'm trying to decide which part of this outfit I like best. The blouse! No, the necklace! No, the shoes! Definitely the shoes.

    I think the sweater you returned was cute, but this definitely looks more sophisticated for work.

    This looks great, Natalie!

    I'm glad you kept the dragonfly heels - they are gorgeous!

  • AviaMariah replied 10 years ago

    I was one who told you to return the shoes but they are BEAUTIFUL and I'm glad they worked for you.  :)

  • CocoLion replied 10 years ago

    So so beautiful. Everything.

  • annagybe replied 10 years ago

    I love this on you!

  • Parsley replied 10 years ago

    I think you made a wise choice, and I really like the outfit you put together here. I don't know how you can wear those shoes all day, but I'm seriously in love with them, so I'm glad you're able to. This is the kind of matchy matchy Natalie we know and love! You look fabulous!

  • E replied 10 years ago

    Love your final outfit! And I'm so glad you could wear the shoes all day. :D
