WIW 5/5 & 5/7: Taking requests--Dotty Snake and Denim jacket w/ skirt

I posted earlier asking you all to shop my closet and create new outfits for me:
http://goldenpig.lookfab.com/p.....fit-for-me
and I received lots of wonderful suggestions! Thank you!

Here are the first two outfits I wore based on your requests--more to come! Sounds like several of you requested the bee blouse and Missoni blouses so those will definitely be up next! Feel free to contribute more requests--this is lots of fun! Thanks for the suggestions!

1-4. Dotty Snake. This is Cheryl's inspired suggestion to pair the polka dot blouse with the snakeskin skinnies, and I threw in Modgrl's suggestion (waving back at Dotty twin!) to do dot on dot with the polka dot bag and blouse. I wore this on a MOTG day, so I was a bit overdressed compared to everyone else (and the weather was hot so I had to ditch the leather jacket) but matchy matchy me really likes the pairing of dotty blouse and dotty bag, snakeskin pants plus snakeskin texture on the bag, and garnet colored pants and matching ballet flats! So fun!

Casual Couture black and white polka dot blouse
Marc Jacobs Dotty Snake Lil Ukita bag
AG garnet snakeskin skinny jeans
Stuart Weitzman giveable red ballet flats
White House Black Market black and silver pendant necklace
WHBM hammered silver UWP stretch bracelet

5-9. Today I'm trying out JennyAnne's suggestion to pair the Anthro floral skirt with a denim jacket, which is perfect given Angie's blog post today:
http://youlookfab.com/2012/05/.....t-formula/
I paired it with a burgundy shirt with lace sleeves from Anthro, and some old burgundy and gold necklace and earring set from Ann Taylor (I'm in a matchy matchy kick right now if you can't tell!). I really love the pairing of skirt with cropped denim jacket, but it is a tad casual for work, so I left the jacket off at work (anyways, you can't see the lace sleeves with the jacket on). And of course, any excuse to wear my Chie Mihara sandals, so here they are again! BTW looking at the pics, I am not happy about the lumpy apple tummy (so I am really sucking it in in #6, haha). I'm doing the 30-day shred (just finished level 1) but it's not helping! :P

    Oh, Natalie! My matchy-matchy heart sings with joy at the dots-dots-snake-snake combo in the first outfit!! SO FUN!!!

    And the tee in the second outfit is SO FAB!! Love the floral skirt and the denim jacket, and so timely with today's blog post, for sure! I might want to see the tee tucket or belted, just for fun, too!

    Wow! Outfit 2 is sweet, but outfit 1 is just FABULOUS! Seeing you do all that pattern mixing and matching gives me a big ol' happy grin :-D

  • Kiwichik replied 11 years ago

    Wow I love those outfits and I can see why you use any excuse to wear those sandals. I look forward to the unveiling of the rest of your SYC requests.

    I'm geeking out a little bit right now because I just realized that Dotty is totally reminding me of the black/white Beetlejuice snake! Ok, I know that sounds strange, but I love that movie and it's making me swoon at the long, snakelike, crossbody strap wrapped around you. The second outfit is adorable as well - you are really our living YLF doll today!

    Bring on dots and snakes! Fab look - there is so much visual interest in outfit #1 it's crazy. And yet it's not OTT.

    And outfit #2 is right up Angie's blog alley today!

  • Suz replied 11 years ago

    Will you look at that? #1 drives me dotty with joy! And #2 fits perfectly with today's post. Gorgeous outfits. YLF is so clever. And you have such a great closet!

    I love those sandals in outfit 2 - any chance to wear them should be taken! Nice details all put together in that look - the fun sleeve treatment and the floral skirt. Love the necklace!

    Super outfits! I wish I could find a skirt for summer. Yours is beautiful!

    Too much fun! Love these outfits!

  • replied 11 years ago

    These are super-fab! I love the first one espesh, since I love me some matchy-matchy! So gracious of you to let everyone paper-doll you!

  • Beth Ann replied 11 years ago

    Looking terrific, Natalie! Both are fab, but since I'm in a spring mood, my favorite is #2! I predict you will enjoy you SYC a lot more with mixing suggestions from other YLFers. A little creative IV drip, so to speak.

    The dots? The snakeskin? The leather? The bomb!
