  Fabulous outfit Joy! That ROG is so smart. ;-) I love the asymmetrical top. The stone necklace is a nice accent… and a mustard bag would look sharp with this ensemble. Nice work by you and ROG today.

  Love it!  Prefer it without the grey sweater though....but the rest of it is fantastic!  Love that top - and you are reminding me to get out my olive silky pants and get going finding a couple of tops for them.

• catgirl replied 8 years ago

  That top is TDF! I always forget about our friend ROG.

• Dee replied 8 years ago

  It definitely works! I like how the top picks up the warm tones from the shoes. And mustard would complement it really well.

  Thank you for your posts, ElCee, Lisa and Una. Lisa, these pants remind me very much of silk EF ones that I wanted last year but we're too pricey. The fabric drapes like silk but is rayon. I think it was the silky look that attracted my attention. I'm not sure if I'll wear the cardigan out. It's rainy today. I need to introduce ROG to my bright pink coat. I hope to see your outfits.

• Joy replied 8 years ago

  Dee, we must have posted at the same time. Thank you.

  ROG really came through for you, again. I never think to shop at Target but notice that you and others find some really cute items there.

• Ledonna N. replied 8 years ago

  I love everything except the cardigan. It looks as if it covers up the beauty of the outfit.

• Janet replied 8 years ago

  I love it without the sweater! I love that tee. Where did you find it?

• Mirjana replied 8 years ago

  I like outfit very much but agree with Ledonna N. pity to cover up the beauty of the outfit with cardigan.

• replied 8 years ago

  It works perfectly, Joy.  You look wonderful.  

• rachylou replied 8 years ago

  ROG is good :)

• Joy replied 8 years ago

  Thank you, Bonnie. Target can be hit or miss but their items seem to last and wash well in the machine.
  Ledonna, Janet, and Mirjana, I have to agree when I see the cardigan. I will try to find something else.
  Janet, the top is a consignment store find that I had to have even with a neckline too large for me. It looks like it was dyed after it was manufactured.
  Thank you for the kind words, Sterling.
  Ha, Rachylou. ROG is my fall back when I have no ideas. Not all generated outfits are right for the current weather, but nearly all are wearable, often in combinations I'd not thought of. If not, a change of one piece usually will work. It probably helps that I don't have many patterned pieces.

  ROG = Random Outfit Generator?

• Joy replied 8 years ago

  Yes, Chris. Random Outfit Generator in Finds. I have put in much of my wardrobe and have it use my wardrobe to generate outfits.
  Go to Finds and touch Outfit Generator. It will come up with an outfit from General finds. Scroll to the bottom and touch Your Wardrobe Only, then Generate!. You can keep having it generate different combinations.

• Chris987 replied 8 years ago

  Got it! I'll need to take pics of most of my wardrobe but was thinking of doing that anyway. Thanks!

• JAileen replied 8 years ago

  The ROG did such a good job! I really love the top. Yes to the mustard bag.

• Angie replied 8 years ago

  SUPER cute without the cardi, Queen ROG. 

• Brooklyn replied 8 years ago

  You look fab Joy. I also think that it's best without the cardi.

• Tanya replied 8 years ago

  Wonderful outfit, Joy!  It seems that ROG knows what it's doing. 

• Suz replied 8 years ago

  Love #1! That looks fabulous on you. 

• Joy replied 8 years ago

  Chris, you will enjoy having photos of your wardrobe to arrange in outfits and capsules.
  Thank you, JAileen, Angie, Brooklyn, Tanya and Suz. I changed the grey cardi for an olive jacket and it felt better.

• Chris987 replied 8 years ago

  BTW forgot to comment on the oufit - it is fantastic! ROG did a good job but so did you Joy by having those items your wardrobe. Agree that the grey cardi does not add much.

• Joy replied 8 years ago

  It looks like I need to work on styling that grey cardi although its season is rapidly passing. Maybe next fall.

• Eliza replied 8 years ago

  Great look, Joy. If you need a topper, I'd go with a lighter one and the mustard bag is great. The bag works well with the sneakers.

• krishnidoux replied 8 years ago

  Wow! I am in awe in front of your outfit. You look absolutely chic and fab! Very elegant, easy, trendy, comfortable all at once. You did it! Bravo. 

• Joy replied 8 years ago

  Eliza, thank you for your suggestions. I do have possible lighter toppers to try. That day I needed one even indoors and with a tank layered under the tee.
  Krishnidoux, your comments made my day! My goal would be to have several elegant, easy, trendy comfortable outfits. Thank you.

• Sal replied 8 years ago

  What Krishnidoux said, you look gorgeous!  Clever ROG:)

• Colette replied 8 years ago

  You crack me up with the ROG! I need to try it when I get more of my wardrobe loaded in. But I do really like your outfit. The joggers look great on you and your and that shirt is so interesting. Did you try  a different topper? I just picked up a pair of joggers and seem to like them better with shorter jackets.

• Joy replied 8 years ago

  Thank you, Sally. You are a sweetheart.
  Colette, be sure to give ROG a try. I did try a shorter jacket as a topper but didn't have time to experiment very much. I need to try a jean jacket, which is shorter. Thank you for the suggestion.
