Today's Everyday Fashion: The Second Try

 

My Inspiration, on left

 

Is it just me or is the second try almost always better than the first? Looking back at many outfits over the years, the first idea I’ll have for a new item - such as these plaid pants - almost never winds up being my favorite. Let’s see if you agree - check out my first idea with these plaid pants from a couple weeks ago, below. Which one do you prefer - these pants with black or white/mustard?

Pants: Express, $40
Sweater: Kohl’s, $28 (similar, similar, similar)
Shoes: Bandolino/TJ Maxx, $25 (similar, similar, similar)
Purse: Vince Camuto/Macy’s, $112 (similar, similar)
Earrings: Kendra Scott (similarsimilar, similar)
Approx. dates: Shoes are 8 years ago. Purse is 4 years ago. Sweater is 2 years ago. Earrings are 1 year ago. Pants are recent.
