In my mind, in my bathroom, and even in my closet mirror, this outfit was pretty cute. And then I reviewed the pictures. Not sure what it is, but something just isn't right. The colors? The stripes and plaid? The fit? Maybe it's the shoes? I just don't know.

the pieces:
Jacket - Necessary Objects (old)
Striped Tank - Gap
White Tank - TJ Maxx
Cargo Skinnies - Gap
Shoes - Guess
Sandals - Steve Madden
