You really took the suggestions and did great.
Todays photo, especially the pants is very flattering on your body. It makes you slimmer (not that youre big! But you know what I mean). Im a big believer in belts. I think using a belt helps with proportions and creates an illusion of a slimmer waist.
The blazer is a nice touch and the color is perfect!
When you look at the side-by-side pictures, I can see that the dress pants is more flattering and more slimming. I actually look pretty thin around the waist!
I like colors and I like matching solids with prints so it's natural for me to add a color. I tried it with a black blazer and it was just too plain and one-sided.
I'll get back to your outfit. I have to do some real work this morning!! LOL!
DC -- could you please post a bigger picture?!?!
