I love today's outfit because it feels totally me and it represents how I want to dress and how I want to present myself to the world at this moment. Dotty is having a pattern mixing day out with kitty wedges. The dress is slim but not tight. I feel ok without a waist cinching belt because there's already enough going on with the bag, shoes and leggings, and the cropped jacket emphasizing my waist. Minimal accessories feel just right today. I am wearing only my mk watch from the last NAS and my wedding ring. Tweaks and critiques gladly accepted, I always learn so much when I post wiw's here.

Wow Rita - there is no tweaking required. This is PERFECTION! You are right that the cropped jacket accentuates your tiny waist, love the leggings under the dress and the pattern mixing of Dotty and your wedges is so lux. You really look fabulous - no wonder you like this outfit!
Those wedges are gorgeous BTW - what kind are they, if you don't mind me asking?

WOW. That is drop dead gorgeous on you, Rita. Love.
No wonder you feel good. You are looking good!
And, like Shannon, I am eager to know the name of your shoes!
Love Dotty, too. Sigh...

Shannon, they are the Halogen Allie wedges that I posted a while ago. They certainly aren't my most comfortable shoes with their 4" heel, but I've already walked a few miles in them today and I am not crying yet. If I didn't fall so hard for them at first sight, I would probably keep looking for a more comfortable pair.... but what can I say, sometimes the heart wins...

Rita, you look just wonderful! I am glad that you are getting such rave reviews as I am wearing a similiar outfit as I type. I never can get pics cuz no one is ever around to take one for me and the ones I take never turn out.
Love your stylish look though! Doesn't it feel great when your outfit feels right!

Love this! Dotty is so pretty with denim and gray. I also really get a sense of "you" from this outfit, which is what it's all about IMO.

I can see why you feel great in today's outfit - because you should! All the pieces are working in harmony and no need for anything more. Also your hairstyle is adding to the greatness - sort of no nonsense but with a soft wavy side :) Love the whole look.

Perfect! I love Dotty... she's a great addition to your wardrobe. I think I need to copy the "sweater dress + denim jacket" idea.

Come on, you knew you were hitting it out of the park with this super outfit. Just fabulous in every way. Belt would have been overkill. Your instincts are perfect.

Hi I'm modgrl and this is my blog. I work full time and have two sweet little ones. I have wide leeway in how I dress for my job but I know my youthful appearance and petite stature can make age appropriate polished dressing a challenge. On the weekends I like to have some fun with clothes that can take a beating while we are worm digging and puppy chasing.
