I apologize for my before picture- but I had to do it. 
In the past few days I have seen several moms sporting the ‘socks with sandals’ look- and it has got to stop!
Yes, I know I live in the Pacific Northwest- where some people consider this to be ok… but honestly, it’s not.
Trust me.
As for my outfit- I love the simple, classic look of khaki and white together- as seen here and here.
These 2 colors are always in style. However- as usual, I must tell you that you can’t just throw on a white golf shirt and a pair of cropped khakis and call it good.
In my opinion a collared shirt should only be worn on the golf course.
As for the knee length cropped khakis- surely the picture says it all. These are not flattering- they are frumpy!
On the left you can see my re-worked outfit. This cute cargo style skirt is a great alternative to the cropped khaki pant. The pockets give it some detail, and the leopard belt peeking out adds an interesting pattern. On that same note, instead of a plain white shirt, I have chosen this cool waffle texture shirt. It has these cute buttons down the front- which also add some visual interest.
Lastly- I’m wearing my orthopedic sandals by Naot. I LOVE these shoes!! They are truly one of the most comfortable shoes I have EVER owned. I’ll be sad when summer is over and I can’t wear them anymore. I need to see if Naot makes boots?! Anyone?!
I went for the half tuck… wanted to show off my belt.
Hilarious “before” picture, Megan! And I have to agree, it’s all too common here in the Seattle area! “After” is lovely, as usual. Have a great day!
Glad you’re back! My co-worker and I catch up on your blog every week. Would love to know what brand your clothing is – even the simple tees and tanks. It’s nice to know where good basics can be found – even if it’s Old Navy or Target.
Hi Carrie! Thanks for your note! I love hearing that you and your coworker are reading my blog!
Per your question, I used to write where my clothes came from at the end of each post- and have gotten a bit lazy and haven’t been doing that. Thanks for the reminder- I will start adding that information. As for today’s outfit- my top is Michael Stars and my skirt is from Anthropologie.
Yep, they make boots and that are cute.
Oh my, the shoes. Who says Naot makes frumpy footwear? Those are splendid!
Spotted naot boots on zappos! I may have to try some. Glad you’re back 🙂
