Skippy Says: If At First You Don't Succeed (OOTD)

Since I got such a positive response on the last outfit Ryan hated, I figured why not continue with the trend and post another? You guys, he really hated this one. So much so, in fact, that I had to twist his arm to photograph me in it. And by twist his arm I mean give him a noogie and wear it on three separate days, threatening that I'd keep wearing it around him until he gave in. Apparently all the pieces are nice individually, but don't go together. Little did I know, ladies. Little did I know.

    How do those pieces not go together? I think you look adorable! I love the berry and brown colors together.

    Thanks Kim! Apparently there is too much going on, an there is an elegance in simplicity I have yet to understand :)

    I have a pair of shorts similar to this, but in black. My boyfriend absolutely HATES them. I've completely given up wearing them out with him I'm so tired of hearing about it. I wear them when I go out with my girlfriends instead.
    And I think you look adorable! (What do boys know about fashion anyway?!)

    At first I thought your coat looks so beautiful then I saw what was inside ...nice! I love the colors, the wine colored tights looks great on you. The printed blouse is adorable too!

    Thanks Lisa! I don;t think it's the skirt so much that he hates, but the whole outfit combination. But you're right, boys don';t know anything :)

    Haha, at least your boy gives you his honest opinion. My husband literally says, "I will only ever tell you that you look beautiful, because to me, it's always true."... Yea, that may seem sweet, but it does NOTHING for me when I need help deciding what to wear haha! I really like your maroon tights :)

    LOVE this outfit!! And, I seriously JUST bought that blouse yesterday at the Loft. I am obsessed with it and think it looks great with red hair ;)

    Like the bold tights + the brown and blue. :)
    This post made me smile. There are certain things the Mr. inexplicably loathes - such as any dress with pockets, my ruffled turquoise jacket, and my floral shrug. I wore the jacket last night and he actually offered to take me shopping to buy some new clothes he likes better. Guys can be strange sometimes.

    You're right, that is sweet but not very helpful :) But you know what? Ryan has said he doesn't like many outfits I think are cute, which isn't too helpful either :)

    You crack me up! (For some reason, I initially typed "you crack me down"... which doesn't make any sense... or does it? I dunno... too much thinking...)

    Anyway, silly buoys. They just don't know a good outfit when they see one. I came out of the room wearing a baggy dress the other day, and Mr. CP asked me why I was wearing a belted sack. Apparently once a fascist, always a fascist.

    Inna...while this outfit may seem a bit much to you to wear out in public, it has a very editorial feel! The coat, the patterned blouse and skirt, belt, and also the shoes, you'd think this came straight out of the Anthropologie lookbook.

    I'd maybe change to skirt to a neutral (like taupe or brown) but keep everything else. It's not matchy matchy and it sure as hell is original. Your coat is beautiful, FYI - bring it out more!
