I tried hard this week to come up with something that took me a bit out of my comfort zone, something playful and a little less me. While I probably wouldn’t have guts to wear this all together at the same time, I love the individual pieces and I’d certainly wear navy heels with navy tights! I do feel it’s quite similar in colour palette to my previous C&P posts so I’ve failed on that front. Unfortunately/Fortunately, once you’ve established your style it’s quite the challenge to push yourself beyond that. So this week was an attempt at stepping outside my usual -scout’s honor.

A coworker and I were discussing the whole shorts and tights look recently. I like this style and I basically consider it to be a classic even though it’s having a bit of a moment right now. I remember the preppy version quite well from my childhood (corduroy shorts, penny loafers, and fair isle crewneck anyone? Ha!). So how does one pull off the combo now? I don’t like any combination that includes denim cut offs or denim cut offs with dippy 80s lace tights, so I went in search of something more mature and less fashion-victimy. In fact, I put together two versions, one being a little more casual than the other, and after the jump. This really has gotten addictive

So I guess I’m getting pretty good at this weekly feature thing. Today is a surprisingly nice fall day, given our two feet of snow last week, and it got me thinking about cozy, earth toned outfits (along with yesterday’s post). All this outfit needs now is a cup of spiced hot apple cider. Unfortunately, nothing too reasonably priced, but it’s a nice inspiration springboard for me

• Opening Ceremony jacket: $632 here
• Dries Van Noten top: $725 here
• 3.1 Phillip Lim trouser: $491 here
• Coclico wedges: $395 here
• Ally Capellino necklace: $504 here

• BB Dakota sequin jacket: $86 here
• Wolford tights: $58 here
• Rachel Comey boots: $351.90 here
• Karen Walker skull necklace: $68.85 here
• Hoiming ‘bat badge’:here

I have to first admit that I’m really tired of the whole shredded everything trend; however, it is (almost) Halloween so I’m making an exception with the dress. So here you are readers: a Pour Porter ‘sophisticated’ cut-and-paste Halloween. Ha, you know, because not everyone wants to be the ‘oh so sexy fill in the blank’. Have a good one guys! Brannan and I decided last minute to don some costumes. If they turn out well, I’ll post pictures next week

I’m thinking I might make this a somewhat regular feature. I never been much into polyvore-ing outfits (it’s easier for me to PS the stuff myself), but it can definitely be fun creating wardrobe ‘mood boards’. The only negative is how time consuming it can be!

• Sanctuary jacket: $150 here
• Kain tee: $85 here
• Hope trouser: $290 here
• Bcbg heels: $395 here
• Mad imports bag: $59 here
• Confetti System necklace: $48 here
