An Earthtone Summer Casual (and dress added)

Following Angie’s ensemble idea today, I wore this casual summer earth tone outfit. The jeans are Universal Thread from Target, the light blue shell is EF silk, the topper is a silk Citron of Santa Monica from eBay, a couple of years old. Gold loafers ( Sperry Topsider) and tiger bum bag worn as a cross body from Target. Belt is also Universal Thread from Target, earrings orange glass from the Denver Botanical Gardens. Does the shirt look ok as a jacket or too messy? I added a long thrifted necklace of multicolor glass fruit shapes in oranges, dark and tomato red and light turquoise.
I liked the earthy color of the jeans ( sort of al light rust). The waist is mid rise on me, but supposed to be high rise. Do the jeans look ok for a season or should they go ASAP?
ETA an earthy dress ( EF rust) plus EF beige linen open long cardi and a column of mustard plus dark denim and navy, also floral scarf topper.

Denim Joggers a la#2

When I saw Outfit #2 in Angie’s blog ensemble post, I knew I had the pieces.
Tee is an old cheapie from last fall when I was looking for olive. This one is shot with gold metallic threads. Sneakers are old AG’s, bum bag is Aimee Kestenberg from Nordstrom Rack. It is navy leather. Bracelet is new from a local consignment store. I think it looks like black rock but is probably wood. Black duster is a black EF heavy linen dress worn open. Other jewelry is gold.
Photos: 1 is bracelet; 2 and 5 show the whole outfit. 3 is the basic joggers and tee; 4 adds the bum bag.
What do you think? Too young looking? Shall I look for a better tee? Are these joggers too short? I welcome comments and suggestions.

Patterned top, plain bottom; and plain top, patterned bottom

Here is a recent WIW inspired by Angie’s blog post on shorts. The crops are olive rather than white but paired with a patterned top ( thrifted leopard silk woven tee). The Taryn Rose flats are sort of an olivey metallic and the bag is one of those good for your back, a gift from DS. I felt good in this outfit.(1-3).
4/5 is today’s outfit, again with crops rather than shorts. Print polka dot bottoms, white linen EF top. Jacket is also EF and nearly a match for the bottoms. Flats are old Cole Haan.
Your comments and suggestions are welcome.

WIW: texture with rolled jeans

Inspired by Angie’s blog post today, I am wearing old white Kut Catherine boyfriend jeans, a black shell and black and white EF over layer. The bottom of the top-most layer makes a line at a wide area. This is also probably a last wear for these jeans. Maybe black pants would work better? Yay or Nay?
