Awesome hair. </p> <p>My favourite is 1.

There is a consignment shop in a strip mall though, now that I think about it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/katerinas-coat-challenge-at-last#post-2242641 Thu, 09 Dec 2021 10:44:52 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2242641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great. In #1, with those colors, you’re playing my song. The texture of your hair somehow gets into the act in 3, and I like the way it picks up the white in the plaid—really nice.<br /> Do you have thrift stores in malls there? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/katerinas-coat-challenge-at-last#post-2242639 Thu, 09 Dec 2021 10:25:39 +0000 Anonymous 2242639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is #1 too! Such a great coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/katerinas-coat-challenge-at-last#post-2242612 Thu, 09 Dec 2021 02:10:42 +0000 Jaime 2242612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You all never fail to put a smile on my face, thank you so much!<br /><b>Bonnie</b> - I am really leaning into burgundy lately and I think it is this jacket that started me off.<br /><b>Jonesy</b>- Thank you! It is so fun to have a piece recognized - I do not deny I have a healthy proportion of designer items, but most are older and not well known. I couldn't wait for a dressier occasion to wear that one - burgundy and blue are my power colors!<br /><b>Beth Ann</b> - I get so much inspiration from other people's outfits that it seems only right to reciprocate.<br /><b>Sharan</b> - So I am in excellent company!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/katerinas-coat-challenge-at-last#post-2242592 Thu, 09 Dec 2021 00:15:00 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2242592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super fun variety, Jaime. I love the Coach jacket, too, and the whole outfit with it. I wore my jeans with a wide cuff like that today, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/katerinas-coat-challenge-at-last#post-2242587 Wed, 08 Dec 2021 22:42:39 +0000 Beth Ann 2242587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! I"m trying to check in on more forum posts as I can, and I'm finding I am really inspired by WIW posts -- thanks for sharing!</p> <p>I'm loving the boots and jacket in #1 and, of course, the combo of vintage leather and french stripes is always crisp and bold.</p> <p>I'm looking for some wider leg straight jeans -- I love the stying in #1 and will use it for inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/katerinas-coat-challenge-at-last#post-2242557 Wed, 08 Dec 2021 18:50:33 +0000 Jonesy 2242557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all fabulous outfits that you wear effortlessly! I love every one: They each have a different vibe, but they are all genuine to you and your style. I love the quilted Coach jacket and those lace-up boots, and your bf jeans are a fab complement! The second outfit is very sharp and chic--those AD pants are fab, and your trim leather jacket, striped top, and white bag are perfect! When I read your description of the third outfit and you mentioned a DVN plaid jacket, I was guessing this very one :). I love how you've unexpectedly styled it in a casual way. It looks awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/katerinas-coat-challenge-at-last#post-2242420 Wed, 08 Dec 2021 01:28:18 +0000 Bonnie 2242420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is #1.

With the amount of second hand online these days anyone could find the equivalent of these things. Well almost anyway . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/katerinas-coat-challenge-at-last#post-2242307 Tue, 07 Dec 2021 16:11:43 +0000 Suz 2242307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You wear Dries can Noten so well! Wow! And #1 is fantastic. Love that coat on you. You also wear BF jeans spectacularly well. I like the wool pants in #2, also. Your thrifting/ consignment skills do it again. The white bag is a nice and unexpected touch there.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, your hair! Looking amazing!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/katerinas-coat-challenge-at-last#post-2242304 Tue, 07 Dec 2021 15:48:35 +0000 Anonymous 2242304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the quilted Coach jacket. The Tyrolean vibe with the boots is really cute! &nbsp;Lack of comment on the other two outfits is only because they aren't too clear on my screen - but I'm always impressed with the labels you find in your thrifting searches.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/katerinas-coat-challenge-at-last#post-2242302 Tue, 07 Dec 2021 15:30:21 +0000 Janet 2242302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these!

Love the variety and yet I think you could mix and match and they would all work. &nbsp;Love that The plaid has a retro vibe, but works in a totally modern way. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/katerinas-coat-challenge-at-last#post-2242246 Tue, 07 Dec 2021 09:55:33 +0000 Bijou 2242246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous - you and the clothes!</p> <p>I love your colour play in #1. The Etro sweater is just as lovely as the quilted jacket and a great pairing of colours.</p> <p>Black and white is always superb on you and really highlights how gorgeous your hair is. I just love the bright white bag in #2.</p> <p>#3 your Dres jacket is the perfect jacket to wear with jeans.</p> <p>This was definitely worth the wait.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/katerinas-coat-challenge-at-last#post-2242242 Tue, 07 Dec 2021 08:33:12 +0000 Mirjana 2242242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Shevia sooo beautiful all as usual. I like your style, casual and elegant. Burgundy is lovely on you, but my favorite is #2 maybe as I like stripes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/katerinas-coat-challenge-at-last#post-2242232 Tue, 07 Dec 2021 05:51:57 +0000 slim cat 2242232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Burgundy jacket as a favorite thing ever - gorgeous on you!<br />Your hair is beyond fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/katerinas-coat-challenge-at-last#post-2242229 Tue, 07 Dec 2021 05:35:16 +0000 Anonymous 2242229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your hair sets a high standard. &nbsp;Your style is enviable </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/katerinas-coat-challenge-at-last#post-2242225 Tue, 07 Dec 2021 05:23:07 +0000 CarolS 2242225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First things first - your hair is just SO good! It elevates fab looks to sublime. </p> <p>As always, these are ALL sublime. </p> <p>I can see why you like the burgundy jacket -it has personality but looks like it plays nicely with other, too. I can see it being very versatile. </p> <p>And something about #2 really grabs my eye. Or maybe it's everything about it. I love your style. </p> <p>Thanks for sharing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/katerinas-coat-challenge-at-last#post-2242215 Tue, 07 Dec 2021 02:56:37 +0000 rachylou 2242215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I must say the burgundy quilted is especially good. It’s different. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/katerinas-coat-challenge-at-last#post-2242207 Tue, 07 Dec 2021 02:37:45 +0000 Jaime 2242207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, a little late for Katerina's coat challenge, but it is just starting to be jacket weather here. Featuring some old and new (to me) favorites.<br />1. Combining what is turning out to be a favorite jacket (thrifted Coach from a year or two ago), with very old boyfriend jeans (thrifted), and second hand bag, boots and sweater (new to me Etro!).&nbsp;<br />2. Bad lighting in the mall dressing room as I waited for DD to try on her things. (My kids wear a lot of second hand, but not as much as me. Yet.) Vintage leather cropped jacket, random striped tee and fabulous vintage Ann Demeulemeester wool pants that come out when it breaks 80F, new to me white bag (bought on poshmark, delivered by my sister on her recent visit).<br />3. Second hand and old in my closet jeans, blouse, sneakers and bag with new in my closet, second hand Dries van Noten plaid jacket (consignment but seriously under-priced).&nbsp;</p> <p>I know these are sort of all over the place, but actually a pretty good representation of how I dress. Next week it might be cold enough for my heavier coats . All comments and suggestions welcome as always!&nbsp; </p>
