  Oh, you're cute as usual Suz. I love how the black highlights the silvery notes in the denim and the silver seems to reinforce that sparkle. Very nice!

• Ginkgo replied 11 years ago

  Very nice! I like the silvery touches of the belt and scarf, and how the scarf lights up your face.

• tarzy replied 11 years ago

  You've got the whole style thing in the bag! This is chic and cool at the same time!

• catgirl replied 11 years ago

  LURVE! I am so copying this except I can't wear a scarf with nearly as much panache as you. But I have every other element.

  I love this! I've been recklessly wearing square scarves this winter too. But Una is right, you really have a flair for this look. I LOVE faded wash jeans with a black sweater! They really set each other off nicely and this is no exception. The sheen of the belt and scarf look so good together. Hubs did good (and so did you)! :)

  Claire, you crack me up. "Recklessly" wearing square scarves. It DOES feel reckless, doesn't it? They are not the popular shape. And one risks "little old lady." But I say to heck with that. I happen to like this better than a long dangling thing that gets into my soup every time I bend over.

  Day Vies, your outfit descriptions and analyses are worthy of a book.

  Thank you, Gingko!

  Tara, "chic and cool" at the same time? Wow. What could be better. How did you know that that combination of words would set an Urban Prince's heart aflame?!

  Una, I am SURE your copy will be cooler than the original!

  On the square scarf thing: my theory is that it works with my angled haircut. FWIW. It is another angle, albeit a soft one. Angles are good for me.

  Simple and oh so chic! Suz, you rock those BFs.

• Astrid replied 11 years ago

  Lovely outfit! The scarf works perfectly with the crew neck. You look great.

• texstyle replied 11 years ago

  You look smashing in this SuzUrban Prince. :-) And I like square scarves too, for the same reason.

• replied 11 years ago

  This is a fun outfit, Suz. I love those Marcies on you, Shannon and Vicky. I tried them a while back and they felt sooooo wrong on me.
  I am also super jealous, my BFs are not long enough to wear anymore, not even with Angie's lengthening ideas.

• Suz replied 11 years ago

  Oh, no, Zap! I was thinking that for tall and long-legged women these Gap BF would be impossible. Even on me, they are pushing it. They are fine when rolled but don't quite make it as full length pants.

  Texstyle, chuckling at SuzUrban!!

  Love the silver on you - the scarf looks very jaunty imo.

• Ariadne replied 11 years ago

  Ooh, this is that twisty cable sweater I love so much! I wish textural details like that translated into photos more accurately.

  Love this outfit.

• Joy replied 11 years ago

  Wonderful outfit and the scarf takes the BFs to a whole new level. Your thoughts on square scarves and angles resonated with me.

• Angie replied 11 years ago

  KILLER

  There is no end to your beaming sparkle, Suz. Ever since you had a break through with shopping at the end of last year. A real pleasure to behold.

  I love it!!

  :)

• Mona replied 11 years ago

  Radiant, chic and off course our very own Urban Prince! Love the silver scarf and belt. Hubs has good taste.

• Laura replied 11 years ago

  I love it too! I noticed with your 2012 WiWs that there was a marked difference at the end of the year -- and you are carrying it through to 2013 with, um, panache :)

• Raisin replied 11 years ago

  Those jeans are the perfect amount of slouch! Great outfit, and the scarf is very cool!

• Deborah replied 11 years ago

  Fab look Suz. You are really on a roll with your style.

• Jjsloane replied 11 years ago

  Urban Prince quintessential look!

• Suz replied 11 years ago

  Thanks, all!

  Angie, Urban Prince really helps, actually. Helps me make sense of some apparently contradictory leanings and meld them together conceptually. And is a persona I very much resonate with. I truly do believe that going forward that image will help me refine my purchases in a positive direction.

  I feel as if I'll be really well prepared for a tiny shopping spree in London. I may not buy anything while there, but I'll have so much fun considering!

• Angie replied 11 years ago

  You are a stunning Urban Prince :)

• Transcona Shannon replied 11 years ago

  Gorgeous Prince Suz! I love the BF's with the Marcie's - they make a great couple!

• catherine replied 11 years ago

  Those jeans were made just for you, I think. You look quite beautiful.

• kellygirl replied 11 years ago

  How did I miss this? Love this look on you. SO UP!

• Suz replied 11 years ago

  Oooh - I never realized how fun the acronym is, Kelly! Big smile.

• Thistle replied 11 years ago

  So Urban Prince! I absolutely love the silver scarf and the way it works with the belt, our complexion and hair. I also love the spice the docs give it. You look great!

• Carole replied 11 years ago

  Is there such a thing as Euro Chic Urban Princess? Love it!

• Debora replied 11 years ago

  What a cool, casual look! The scarf and belt add just the right touch to this tomboyish look. Love your new title - a perfect style description.

• Jaime replied 11 years ago

  Adore. You have hit your stride big time. The more I look the better it gets. Love!

• pil replied 11 years ago

  Nothing new to add, just wanted to say this is AWESOME!

• merwoman replied 11 years ago

  Chiming in to echo everyone else - so gorgeous - love this on you Suz!

• Beth Ann replied 11 years ago

  Trying to catch up, and late to the thread. Great for home-work! It's completely unfussy, and yet the details --- the shine in the shoes and scarf, the pattern on the belt, all make the look intentional and upscale. Don't you think faded denim looks new again?

• Jamie replied 11 years ago

  I love this outfit, Suz!

• ManidipaM replied 11 years ago

  Distressed luxe done like post-revolutionary royalty, indeed! So chic! All in the details, as Beth Ann said, like writing a good book :-)

• Mochi replied 11 years ago

  Oh, I got to this thru Shannon's link of today. Dear me, I almost missed this delightful outfit! It sort of has this jaunty, nautical vibe to me for some reason. You look like an adventurer--so cheeky and exuberant. Definitely a prince in the best way.

• Elly replied 11 years ago

  Nice, Suz! Thanks so much for posting your outfit. Great use of the sweater.

• krishnidoux replied 11 years ago

  "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication", you express it here. This charming, elegantly knotted scarf does it all. Good for you to have given your BF a second chance! And I absolutely love your choice of footwear with it. Grand! Makes you look tall too.

  I understand why the slouchy BF might take the back seat these days, as elements demand a sturdier, heavier footwear. If you are petite, it is hard to pair slouch with the slouch/heavy boots our winter requires. Then once inside, finer footwear is in the order. The slouch BF looks good in warmer climate/weather, when one can wear them with ankle boots, military boots, or flat shoes and no socks.

  I am curious, do you wear your Doc Marcies outside in this lovely outfit?

• Suz replied 11 years ago

  Krish, I do wear the Marcies outside if the weather isn't too cold. If I need an insulated winter boot they aren't good, but for temps of about 2C or above they're fine.

  They have a big platform that is great in the rain -- keeps the feet dry. And the platform is rubber so it doesn't slip. And they are a wedge, so they're comfy.

• Amy replied 11 years ago

  Im not sure how I missed this, but it appears you've mastered the art of making casual perfectly princely!

• krishnidoux replied 11 years ago

  Have you tried lining them with insulated soles? It makes a big difference in my boots.
