Help me create this outfit.....
Permalink Closed


Hey,

I've always loved this look, and have been hesitant to try it b/c I've always felt i look a little silly in head to toe black, and I am sensitive about looking like I wear "high waters" - was a tall kid with a pants fit problem growing up :)

I'd like to try this now, but am having a hard time finding the right top.  I love this black sweater/tunic...anyone know where to find something similar?

I love wearing all black, especially with shorter-length pants and flats. It doesn't feel costumey or anything, to me. It just feels sleek and clean.

I don't have time to search for the jacket, but try the following searches (with and without quotes) on Google and look at shopping and images.

  • embellished collarless jacket
  • embellished collarless blazer

You could mix the two (embellishment and tunic), a la Tory Burch

Gosh. It is difficult to find the right top.

I wanted to check bluefly, but it wasn't working. Try them too.

This is a visually-interesting tunic, if you wanted to add some detail.

I think this silhouette would look nice too

This is the closest shape I found. Too bad it doesnt come in black. I found this by looking in Women's > Sweaters > Tunic

Nordstrom

I don't know how much money you're looking to spend, but I would recommend looking at sweaters from Vince. They always have a beautiful drape. If you have a Nordstrom Rack near you, or sometimes they have them online on nordstrom rack, I've found that's a good resource for Vince. The stuff's kinda pricey, but I have to say I get a lot of use out of the (very) few pieces I own.

Otherwise Ann Taylor Loft has some nice drapey tops right now in their "loungewear" section. I really love the drape of some of their tops.
