Visibly Spotted
First, I just want to apologize for not responding to all of your lovely comments on the last few posts. I do read and appreciate every single comment. Life is still pulling me in many different directions, but I’m hopeful that things will start to settle down in the next week or two. And I haven’t been able to comment on your blogs as much as I’d like, but know that I am reading and getting inspiration from you all.
I’m so glad I nabbed this J.Crew sweater when I spotted it (ha!) in the store a few weeks ago, as it seems to be sold out now, at least online available intermittently in limited sizes online. I was worried that the shape would be too long and narrow, but it seems to fit me well, and the vertical orientation of the pattern adds flattering touch.
And yes, a bit more visibility above the neck as I’ve gone the Full Seberg with the hair again.
Sweater: J.Crew, Tippi sweater in Leopard, no longer available online here. (thanks, cigalechanta!) Tippi sweater in other colors here.
Jeans: 7 for All Mankind, here.
Shoes: Stuart Weitzman, here.
Jewelry from Stella and Dot/Karen Karlsen: earrings here, necklace here, bracelets here and here.
And of course my Wendy Brandes ring!

It’s a lovely fit on you, very flattering. You are so lucky to be able to buy J Crew locally, it costs me double to source it here.

Love this look on you and the short hair. Reminds me that mine needs to be cropped again.
Fabulously spotted! Great look on you and your hair is a show stopper.
That is a very fine sweater, great nabbing on your part! And your Jean Seberg hair is smashing too. Thanks so much for participating in Visible Monday, I appreciate you.
You look great! A clean and simple but with a hint of sass. And your haircut is perfection on you.
Glad to hear that life is easing up a bit. It’s amazing what we can juggle, isn’t it?!
You make this look so elegant with your choice of shoes. What a difference they make!
I think you look fantastic in the sweater, it suits you.
You look great in this outfit. What a fun top. And I’ll second Hostess with the shoe comment. Great choice.
I ordered that sweater today on line.
They have xs, md, xl

It’s really perfect on you! Just the right amount of spots, without overdoing it.
(I have one slightly gray-toned leopard foulard which got its inaugural outing this weekend. Sublime! Just enough, and not too much…)
Marvelous! I just cropped my hair a bit closer, too, and think we both look smashing. 😉
the jeans are perfection! and I agree, the vertical pattern orientation is flattering.
Gorgeous, from haircut to pumps: perfection.

Rowr!!!! Love the sweater on you.
You look great!
You either have lost mucho weight in the last bit or else those jeans and top present you in fabulous flatteringness. 🙂 You look great!
You look great. I saw the sweater and almost nabbed it, now sorry I didn’t – it is quite flattering and not at all over the top (which was my worry).
Hi Pseu, I hope life in your world eases up a bit in the coming week. I love your short hair cut so much, it’s what inspired me to chop mine off! It’s been close to 5 weeks since my cut and I feel like a wooly mammoth, even though people keep complimenting me on the shorter cut. I can’t wait for my hair cut next week and I think I’ll bring a print out of this picture of you to my stylist so I can get him to cut mine even shorter. He seems to be afraid to chop away.
The animal print top is perfect on you, very flattering. I never think of wearing dressy shoes with jeans but I like the look, must try it.
..gone seberg with the hair–you crack me up! Too cute–the top and the hair! Fits your perfectly! As do the jeans..
Great style and grace!
A really fresh picture of you, your short hair and the sweater is a dot over i on you. Congratulations!
Great outfit! And I love the Full Seberg. I’ve been having my hair cut short ala Jamie Lee Curtis for several months now and I love it.
@Bourbon&Pearls Thank you. We do take our J.Crew availability for granted, I’ll admit.
@Sal Thanks! This is the shortest I’ve gone in a long time, but really like it!
@coffeeaddict Thank you!
@Mardel Thank you! I always feel more “myself” with short hair.
@The Style Crone Thank you!
@Patti @ NotDeadYet Style Thanks, and thank you especially for hosting Visible Monday!
@kathy peck Thanks! You might check online, seems a few sizes are available again.
@materfamilias Thanks so much. I’m afraid the juggling is wearing on me a bit, and I rather selfishly am ready to be done with juggling quite so *much.*
Love the outfit. It is just perfect on you. Animal print is such a classic and it looks wonderful on you.
I have a question, how do you make your pictures angle like you do? It is such a neat effect.
@Susan Tiner Thank you, Susan. I hate that feeling of being *past* ready for a haircut. Your stylist should be able to help you choose a good style based on your hair’s texture too. I love the look of a classic pump with jeans.
@hostess of the humble bungalow Thank you so much! I’m very fond of these shoes, and the sweater too.
@Lorrie Thank you! It’s amazing the difference that shoes can make to an outfit.
@metscan Thank you! I know you’re not fond of leopard print in general, so I take that as high praise indeed.
@Anonymous Thanks again for letting us know. I found the link and edited the post to include. Hope you like it!
@BigLittleWolf Thank you! Yes, it’s a smaller print and a softer contrast, so it doesn’t overwhelm. “Just enough and not too much” can be so hard to find sometimes!
@Debbi@SheAccessorizesWell Thank you! Actually it’s quite simple: I just tilt the camera. I find my hand is steadier when held at this angle, and easier to get the whole outfit into the frame.
@vicki archer Thank you, vicki!
@Anonymous Thanks so much!
@Minimalist Magpie Thank you!
@ming Thanks!
@ming Thank you!
@fashion and frank Thanks! J.Crew has really been turning out some great styles lately.
@spacegeek33 I don’t think I’ve lost weight; the sweater and jeans combo are just very flattering. And our friend, backlighting.
@fashionoverfifty Thank you! I really love this cut.
@Carolyn C. Merci beaucoup!
@laurieann
Thanks! I really like this cut, it’s easy and fresh.
Great top…love it and it looks fabulous on you….xv
Love the haircut. I’ve done the Full Seberg (never used that name, but it’s perfect!) before, but now I’m in a longer stage.
Love the sweater, too. You look fab.
Oh i love that J Crew sweater – hard to get hold of here but so worth it x

You look fab in your spotted top Ms Deja…wonderful. And how exciting from your previous post re ; Diane K – and I would kill for her hair too, totally agree!!X
*Love* you in leop+pixie! Makes me think of that old, true advice about finding what works and sticking with it. Cannot see your lips but am guessing you are wearing something fairly definite with that.
Smashing outfit! I agree the jeans are purrfect – I might have to get a pair of those. Thanks for sharing your ‘je ne sais quoi’ style.

@Aunt Snow
Thank you! I always love it when I first get it cut this short.
@Semi Expat Thanks! As you can see, gave up on the Diane hair…
;-p
@Duchesse
Thanks so much. I always feel like I’ve come back to myself when I get this haircut… I’m wearing a bit more color on the lips though not too dark. Today was Rouge Coco “Mademoiselle.”
@Diane Thank you! I really love these jeans and recommend highly.
Fantastic sweater, and entire look! Love the hair!
You know I love the leopard! The hair looks great too!
You look great. Some of my favorite brands, and, warrants a wolf whistle:).
This outfit looks très chic, and your shoes really complete the outfit! Beautiful!
