Outfit Ensemble Trend Advice

WIW: Blue, black and terra-cotta

Ingunn

This outfit is a variation of the one I wore on Monday, but this time I've added more color. Some old favorites (the cardi & shoes) are put together with a new terra-cotta top and a black pencil skirt. The cardigan has served me well for many years, and the oxfords are frequently in use by both my daughters and myself. Very high ROI on both items, I'd say. I notice that the belt of he cardigan is way too high on my waist in the photo, so I made sure it was correctly placed when I left today. Bah.

Top: Marc O'Polo
Cardigan: Bruuns Bazar
Skirt: Banana Republic
Oxfords: Vagabond
Snakeskin belt: Thrifted (org. from Gina Tricot)
Tights: H&M
Trenchcoat: BR
Handknitted cowl (by my daughter)

What do you think? Any comments and styling suggestions are welcome as always!

Love your poses Ingunn -and how you've put your outfit together. Great colours - and I think the snakeskin belt works very nicely - highlights that mini-waist of yours without being overly bossy.

You look like a model, Ingunn! That second picture is particularly fetching (that's the best word I could find)... really nice!

Ingunn, you look fetching indeed! I love seeing your curls from the side view. The belted waist silhouette seems to particularly suit you. Your oxfords strike just the right note and tell your daughter what a nice job she did knitting the cowl. I'd say she deserves to borrow your shoes now and again. Oh, and the trench is PERFECT. If only I needed one.

Thank you , Angie, I'm very happy that you like my hair:) I always want to dress more classic than I do, but somehow that's just not me. I can live with playful:)

deb, thanks a lot! I actually like most of the tights from H&M, but not the cheapest ones.

sarah, thank you! I'm glad you liked my outfit.

JR, that's a real compliment! Thanks:)

merwoman, thank you for pointing out what you liked about my outfit. That's very helpful!

Una, thanks so much, I take it fetching is good:)

Claire, I will tell my daughter, and let her borrow my shoes! Thank you for pointing out what you find interesting in my outfit. That's very informative and helpful. I'm sure you need a trench, too.

Makrame, thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked my outfit.

You. Are. Eurochic. Personified.

And to me, that is a GREAT thing!

I love this outfit. Every single bit of it, and especially your playful attitude.

Great, great, just great. It's (to me) a fine example of the whole being more than the sum of its parts. It just creates this stylish, eclectic look without any one thing screaming out "Look at me!" (Kind of the anti-Giovanna, if you have any idea what I'm talking about

I will have to follow all your WIWs now.

Suz, thank you! I appreciate everything you say, because I think being playful is a very important part of being a human. When you play, you learn.

Mochi, thank you so much! This is what I try to do most of the time. I don't have many statement pieces, if any at all, but I have building blocks. I don't know about Giovanna - could you point me in the right direction?

Ramya, you are too sweet! You are welcome to Oslo any time, and I would love to take your picture with your new haircut:) My hairdresser is a trusted friend, and I'd recommend her to anyone.

The consensus was that this woman doesn't pick ONE statement piece--everything she wears is a statement piece, and somehow, miraculously, it works for her.

Adorable! The flower on your lapel and the dotty tights bring this outfit to a whole new level. Love.
