Yes, Tods make fantastic footwear. Very pricey but they wear extremely well. I buy my boots from Tods and they last for years and years. In the end the cost per wear is amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-black-and-grey---now-and-then#post-2374097 Mon, 11 Nov 2024 10:34:05 +0000 pirouette 2374097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dress worn as a duster coat the colour is beautiful on you. I prefer the older minimalist look but you look great in all the outfits. You buy such high quality clothes that they wear well and don’t look aged at all. I have some Todds boots and I find them so hard wearing and comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-black-and-grey---now-and-then#post-2374059 Sun, 10 Nov 2024 23:18:53 +0000 Katerina 2374059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nemosmom, thanks so much.

I realized I have a lot of olive pieces in my wardrobe. It's not so much a conscious choice—I just seem to gravitate toward the color and have collected many olive items over the years. I completely agree about the power of accessories. Sometimes, just changing the pattern of a scarf, without changing the color, size, or material, can make a huge difference.</p> <p><b>Jamie</b>, thank you for the kind compliment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-black-and-grey---now-and-then#post-2373962 Sun, 10 Nov 2024 00:53:15 +0000 Jaime 2373962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such gorgeous looks! I agree that your style has not radically changed just gotten better with age like a fine wine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-black-and-grey---now-and-then#post-2373961 Sun, 10 Nov 2024 00:42:58 +0000 Lisa 2373961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look stunning in green! A great color for you.</p> <p>1 - I like the dress as a duster, indeed it has an element of drama as others have said. And how fun are those wide leg faux-leather pants! I've never seen wide legged faux-leather, it's usually skinnies or straight legs.</p> <p>4 - The dress is also lovely worn as a dress. I'm curious how this dress looks with a belt, maybe a wide one? Could be fun.</p> <p>5 - The today outfit is also a fun one because that cardigan has texture and stars! You've got an eye for interesting pieces. And I like how the yellow scarf and green bag add some extra visual interest to the outfit. It's amazing the impact a few accessories can make, isn't it?&nbsp;</p> <p>I agree with your assessment that your style has evolved with only minor tweaks based on these outfits so far. It looks like you've gone slightly more "comfy" with your looks, but it's subtle. I've also gone more comfy with my style. I think it's a natural progression based on today's more casual fashion.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-black-and-grey---now-and-then#post-2373960 Sun, 10 Nov 2024 00:39:07 +0000 Anonymous 2373960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Suz. The duster look is perfect for you ( I am too short to pull it off well.). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-black-and-grey---now-and-then#post-2373947 Sat, 09 Nov 2024 19:29:43 +0000 Katerina 2373947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much, Suz! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-black-and-grey---now-and-then#post-2373946 Sat, 09 Nov 2024 18:53:17 +0000 Suz 2373946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Katerina</b>, what a great example of finding a new way to wear your beautiful dress! I love it as a duster (drama, yes!) and that outfit is spectacular on you. It's also great as a dress, though!&nbsp;</p> <p>Today's outfit is fun, too. You really do wear greens extremely well!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-black-and-grey---now-and-then#post-2373945 Sat, 09 Nov 2024 17:24:04 +0000 Katerina 2373945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sharan, thank you so much! You’re right—they are more minimal. I hadn’t thought of that. I’ve been trying to incorporate more textures and shine, which is why I bought some leather pants and am experimenting with more knits than before.</p> <p>These days, I set the bar for "flattering enough" a bit lower than I used to, so my outfits now often just meet that threshold. At the same time, I value comfort more, hence the soft, fluffy knits.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-black-and-grey---now-and-then#post-2373943 Sat, 09 Nov 2024 16:55:44 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2373943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dress worn as a duster! And those faux-leather pants are gorgeous with it. I also like the dress as a dress--it's super chic both ways. The cardigan is a stand-out piece, and I love the way you are wearing it here. A really fab set of outfits, Katerina! I do see your style as being quite similar with subtle changes.The "then" photos you've posted so far look more minimal compared to their "now" counterparts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-black-and-grey---now-and-then#post-2373942 Sat, 09 Nov 2024 16:37:03 +0000 Katerina 2373942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Star and Slim Cat, thank you very much for the kind compliments.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-black-and-grey---now-and-then#post-2373940 Sat, 09 Nov 2024 16:29:04 +0000 slim cat 2373940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The outfit #1 as a favorite - very cool look! All versions are great and look fabulous on you. Your collection of scarfs is amazing as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-black-and-grey---now-and-then#post-2373939 Sat, 09 Nov 2024 16:21:58 +0000 Star (Lise) 2373939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Katerina this Bomber Dress is so interesting and cool.&nbsp; I like it very much both ways, but the new duster version is my favourite - the Drama! :).&nbsp; Your faux leather pants are super cool, I have not seen too many wide legged ones.&nbsp; Very interesting pairing them with a fluffy cardi, the textural difference is fab.&nbsp; So on the whole, YLF X 3! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-black-and-grey---now-and-then#post-2373937 Sat, 09 Nov 2024 16:11:02 +0000 Katerina 2373937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello friends,</p> <p>Inspired by Angie’s post and her <b>G</b><b>reen, Black, and Grey palette</b>, I wanted to put together a similar outfit for the weekend. As I’ve started the <b>"Items Now and Then" challenge</b>, I decided to reuse an old olive-green dress. I bought this dress in Copenhagen—it’s a Danish brand, though I don’t remember which one. It’s from 2016 and has a bomber-jacket style, which was trending at the time.</p> <p><b>1-3: "The dress now"</b>, styled as a duster with black faux leather pants (Nanushka, bought last year), a cream silk shirt (Aquascutum, 8 years old), a large printed silk scarf (Odeeh, 5 years old), black monk-strap shoes (Tod's, 9 years old), a green metallic bag (Ferragamo, over 10 years old), and old Missoni sunglasses.</p> <p>4: "<b>The dress back then"</b>, worn as a dress with tall black boots (Boss), a yellow silk scarf (Hermès) peeking out, and a black transparent crossbody bag (Mango, I think?). I still have and wear all these items.</p> <p>5-7: <b>Bonus look - today’s look</b> swaps the dress for a new black cardigan with a green/grey pattern (Marc Cain), paired with another green scarf (Givenchy). I felt polished yet casual and comfortable—still very much me.</p> <p>So far, after two outfits in the challenge, I notice that there hasn’t been much evolution in my style from “then” to “now.” It feels like I’m just doing my usual thing, which I’m not complaining about—just an observation! I do dress a bit more casually and comfortably, but the change feels subtle.</p> <p>What do you think? As always, your feedback is much appreciated! </p>
