THE GOOD:

Giddy up!

Are you ready, boots? I have to give it to you - the boots are the main attraction in your outfit. With this ensemble, one would possibly expect the standard brown leather riding boot, but from nowhere you surprise us with red/brown leather cowboy boots. You keep the sexiness of this outfit through portraying a fitted, chic look. As many failures with leggings as I've seen, you definitely make those leggings work! The slim-fit, striped oxford is a standard and the vest adds a little something extra to the torso. Can I get a yeehaw?!

Picasso

You have something so simple here, but the way you put this outfit together looks cute, comfortable, and convincing. A dress is always an easy choice for something of comfort. The floral dress you have on is very cute - the pattern is bold and certainly reminds me of an oil painting. Simply adding leggings to a short skirt and brown leather boots make it winter appropriate. The 3/4 length sleeve cardigan with the thin belt around the waistline helps keep you both warmer and create that hourglass shape. Transforming a spring season dress into your winter wardrobe convinces me that you know what you're doing. It's a little soon for the straw shoulder bag, but nonetheless, you look good.

Upgrade

My theory of the day is the inclement weather contributes to the laziness I've felt the entire day. It seems as though the dreariness around makes most want to sit around and do nothing. Along with the weather comes the problem of many students looking drab on a rainy day. Amongst those drab peers in the nearby vicinity, you were the one that stood out for looking simple and relaxed, yet taking it a big step above Nike shorts and rainboots. Keeping the dark colored theme, you did just fine with your gray and black dress, leggings, boots, and windbreaker. Faux suede boots might not be the best choice on a wet day; however you look a tier above the rest.

THE BAD:

Tight End

I cannot hide the pain I'm feeling by looking at this! It's as if you've stabbed me in the chest with a steak knife. This should be the END of you wearing such an outfit with these tights. The tights are far out of place with the denim shorts and the broken-in booties. Fail. I will say that patterned tights have been a favorite amongst the female population this season. Your purple tights are actually interestingly nice, but you just wore them the worst way possible. They shouldn't be paired with your day-wear. Save these for a night out to dinner or for drinks. The best way to wear them is with a sexy black dress and black pumps. You're sure to turn heads that way.

Shaggy

Where's Scooby Doo? Your shaggy hair and loosely fitting clothing reminds me of Shaggy. Though Shaggy sports a basic retro look, yours isn't on his level of good at all. Ditch the hat. Period. Sorry. The thermal shirt is fine. A layering thermal is an easy shirt for the winter. I'm not a fan of the cargo pants, and, to make matters worse, they just don't seem to fit you. I'm not saying you should buy a pair of Purple Label Ralph Lauren cargo pants, but a pair of better fitting khaki cargos might do you justice. The combat boots aren't very appealing either. Here's a thought: layering thermal, button up, fitted cargo pants, and some casual shoes.

Pippy Long Stocking

Where in the world did you come from? I needed the nearest person to slap me across the face to make sure I wasn't delusional! The whole thing is a hot mess. Rather than picking the focal point, those socks, I'll start from head to toe. The brown t-shirt seems too tight and not flattering. The cargo shorts aren't befitting of a female...and they are starting to give you butt-cleavage. Eww? The shoes aren't the greatest, but here's the best part of all - the knee-length socks! Why would you do this to yourself? Take them off and throw them away.
