This is my favorite outfit from the week because it features items that took me long time to find. The Zara top is a real treasure - has waist but only slides over it without being skin tight. It's plaid and has such irregular shape that eye can never be bored. Only regret is the boots - I should've worn the boots from Wednesday but didn't think about them in the morning rush to get out on time. Oh well, no one will notice and I'll stick a note in my outfits app "wear these pants with the Hispanitas boots next time!"</p> <p><b>Friday (3-4):</b></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/member/wayvc3/">ChristelJ</a>'s&nbsp;comment in my previous tread about combining RATE with luxe elements like jackets made me remember something from my childhood. When I was a teenager my absolute favorite band was Roxette and the lead singer was my idol. Of course I wanted to look exactly like her - spiky hair, leather biker jackets and all. One outfit of hers I remember vividly to this day. It was for an interview for their new album and she was wearing double breasted pinstripe suit jacket with dark red plush wide leg pants. I was smitten with the unheard at that time juxtaposition of hard business blazer and soft pants and was literally obsessed with this outfit. It was the only thing I wanted to wear. Of course neither my closet or the shops at the time could provide the items for it. So I used what I had - high waisted beige corduroys and brown plaid suit jacket from my moms wardrobe. The pads were gigantic on me but I didn’t care. In my mind I looked like Marie Fredriksson even though I had to spend my time in the boring classroom and that was all that mattered.&nbsp;</p> <p>I realized that now I have all the pieces to finally put together a decent version of that ensemble only in reverse - pin stripe trousers with red velvet jacket. Decided to wear it today as nothing could be more me than the replication of a look that has inspired my taste for decades. </p> <p>Thanks for looking and HUGE thanks to Angie for coming up with this challenge. I had fun and learned a lot about my way of dressing and how much I let other's opinion to influence my decisions. The challenge also brought so much beautiful and inspirational posts that reading and watching the forum this week is a spectacular&nbsp;experience.&nbsp; </p>
