WIW : Trendy?

Deborah

Veteran

Hi Fabbers,

Despite being Autumn, we are still experiencing summer temps:). I don't view this as my norm and I think it reads a bit more trendy than my usual outfits, but I feel quite good in it and it's perfect for Saturday morning errands. And it still has components that make me feel like me...black and white, structure (pants), drape (sweater).

The crop pants were given to me (tags still on) by a girlfriend who had never worn them and the sweater is a couple of sizes too big but I think it's ok. First time wearing my white leather belt, and as the pants are a lower rise for me, they do make it easier to semi or faux tuck:)

What say you, ok?

Thanks

I actually see this as reading more classic than your usual outfits, nonetheless it looks great for a casual running around morning.

I love this look! I especially like the bag and the sandals. It's hard to imagine that autumn is coming.

I love the pants. They're like the cropped bfs Angie was talking about. It's a little hard to see the top because it's black and because of the bag.

I agree with Sarah A, this is very classic cool to my eye.

I love this classic look, too, especially the sandals and bag. You look fab!

May I shout? I LOVE this. The white pants give a whole new dimension to the interesting silhouettes you wear. While I'd agree that the look is bordering classic, I find that the bag alone actually keeps things very un-classic.

Excellent! Thanks ladies. I do prefer the concept of classic to trendy...for me. Happy to go with classic. Perhaps my perception of trendy is a bit off:)

It's lovely, especially because of the sandals. For some reason they add something extra special to the look.

The lower rise, drapey semi-tuck do read more trendy, it's true, but the elements are so basic that it's not screamingly trendy at all.

This looks FAB Deborah- I want your stylish and generous BFFs
PPL I would say, and the o'sized sweater with the belt gives a very flattering silhouette.

Looks good, Deborah!

Yes, I was wondering what you felt was "trendy." I guess the draped (fluid) semi-tucked sweater could be seen that way, although they don't seem especially "fad-like" at all. And in particular, since drape is one of your signatures, they do not look trendy on you. Modern, would be more my take -- and that is a huge part of your style. I think where modern and avant-garde intersect is a very interesting and fruitful place.

I really love this on you, Deborah. It reads as modern and fresh to me and I see the black and white as both classic AND trendy.

I see it more as modern than trendy, and very you! This is a length of cropped pant I can appreciate.

Deborah - this looks so great on you!! I know it's a little different than your usual silhouette but it looks marvelous! But the b/w, softness juxtaposed with structure are still very you!! I like it very, very much!!

This is so chic. I think you can safely remove those tags. I love this outfit. I think the semi tuck is exactly what this combo needed. The proportions are PERFECT.

LoriFLA

More than ok! You look très chic and your hair is so stylish. Super stylish look overall.

This is beautiful on you - and I love your hair! I see this is a modern classic outfit, rather than trendy - what is it about it that feels trendy to you? Also, a semi/faux tuck works perfectly with the rise of the pants - and they're WHITE!!!!! -- alright!

You look great! Love the b/w combo, and the oversized fit is perfect! I especially like the look of the crossbody handbag with the outfit.
