I love both of these and SO understand your issue with finding it hard to be less dressy when you like wearing tailored and structured clothing. Whilst I don’t think anyone would ever describe your style as casual, the use of denim and leather in #2 helps to make a structured silhouette look more casual. Like The Cat and Angie, I love #1 too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2x-weekend-casual#post-2231400 Tue, 12 Oct 2021 18:45:22 +0000 Katerina 2231400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Jonesy, for the lovely comments. I agree about the light sneakers, dark boots will be the choice next time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2x-weekend-casual#post-2231394 Tue, 12 Oct 2021 17:09:33 +0000 Jonesy 2231394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your style and I am personally delighted you are posting more often :). I really like the first outfit--maybe it's the light-colored sneakers that are throwing you off, vs. black footwear? (sleeker somehow, and bookends your dramatic hair perfectly) I agree that the long denim jacket works beautifully with your faux leather pants--the contrast between the fabrics is so nice and the silhouette looks chic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2x-weekend-casual#post-2231102 Mon, 11 Oct 2021 17:23:00 +0000 Katerina 2231102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, thank you! You are so sweet and kind!</p> <p>Bonnie, thank you for the lovely feedback! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2x-weekend-casual#post-2231100 Mon, 11 Oct 2021 17:21:36 +0000 Katerina 2231100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Robin F, thank you for the lovely comments and the suggestions. I will definitely wear boots with this outfit, and probably different sneakers too.</p> <p>Joy, thank you. I look forward to seeing your denim dress as a duster look. Sounds great!</p> <p>Catherine, thank you, you are very kind!</p> <p>Nuancedream, thank you for the kind comments! The denim duster was close to be edited away, but I kept it because I love the retro look of it and the length. It is all cotton and very thick as well - probably old good quality. I am glad I kept it and will use it over different black outfits. I have a black knitted midi dress with a turtleneck - it might also work nicely under this duster. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2x-weekend-casual#post-2231073 Mon, 11 Oct 2021 15:56:27 +0000 Bonnie 2231073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These outfits look great. The white quilted jacket and denim coat are perfect. You inspire me and I look forward to seeing to seeing your posts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2x-weekend-casual#post-2231072 Mon, 11 Oct 2021 15:56:26 +0000 Angie 2231072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JUST. SO. KILLER. CUTE.&nbsp;</p> <p>Elegantly casual, and very polished as always! LOVE the addition of the white </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2x-weekend-casual#post-2231055 Mon, 11 Oct 2021 14:56:48 +0000 nuancedream 2231055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Frankly, I would be kind of bummed if you were not posting a lot, Katerina. Your looks are so polished and inspiring. I like the first outfit, but I noticed my eye went right to your shoes. Different and less contrasting footwear might help.&nbsp; The second outfit with the denim duster is really special and you look fab in it. I had a denim duster and let it go because I didn't know how to integrate into the wardrobe items I already have. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2x-weekend-casual#post-2231051 Mon, 11 Oct 2021 14:49:12 +0000 catherine 2231051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I especially love the outfit with that denim coat. &nbsp;You look beautiful in both, as always. &nbsp;Thanks for posting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2x-weekend-casual#post-2231041 Mon, 11 Oct 2021 14:16:13 +0000 Anonymous 2231041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both outfits. I have a similar jacket to yours in #1. I am looking for a blend with light full length pants but fit now am wearing it with a column of dark brown as the buttons are brown.<br /> Your second I am inspired to try with a column of black and a denim dress worn open as a duster. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2x-weekend-casual#post-2231027 Mon, 11 Oct 2021 13:19:20 +0000 RobinF 2231027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great. That denim duster is fabulous! I agree the first outfit would be better with different shoes. Maybe black sneakers would be as casual as you want but tie in better? Boots for sure would work.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2x-weekend-casual#post-2231016 Mon, 11 Oct 2021 12:15:40 +0000 Katerina 2231016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all very much for the encouraging comments, the feedback and the styling advice.</p> <p>The shoes feel off with the first outfit. If I use black Chelsea boots - it will work better. </p> <p>Suz, you are right about the colour - it is not the same tone of cream, I have not noticed at first, but might be a part of the problem.</p> <p>I feel a bit ridiculous in my attempts to do casual outfits. What I first thought would read as casual is actually rather dressy due to the character of the jacket, the way the scarf is done, the quite structured bag, and I used grey pearl earrings - totally routinely. No wonder this outfit is neither casual nor dressy, it is in between. Perhaps that is what feels off - I was aiming at another kind of look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2x-weekend-casual#post-2230940 Mon, 11 Oct 2021 01:10:56 +0000 Anonymous 2230940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the first outfit! The denim coat one I'd like more with boots I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2x-weekend-casual#post-2230937 Mon, 11 Oct 2021 01:08:51 +0000 Jaime 2230937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Tanya et al. above - post every day! post twice a day! !<br />Love the silhouette you have created with the denim coat over wide legs. As for the first outfit, I think it works best without the jacket (#3). The white jacket with the light shoes creates an awkward proportion. Not that it looks bad, not at all, but perhaps less visually pleasing than your other outfits.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2x-weekend-casual#post-2230883 Sun, 10 Oct 2021 21:16:35 +0000 lozz_oz 2230883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please don’t apologise for your posts, they’re always a visual treat.<br /> I agree with others who suggested a change in shoe type/colour for #1. I like the unexpected denim coat in #2 and glad you’ve found a use for it and you like how you’ve styled it too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2x-weekend-casual#post-2230850 Sun, 10 Oct 2021 19:09:59 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2230850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your casual looks--both are super fab. What a fun smile you have in that blue denim coat. Yes, it's a terrific outfit! Good to see you found a way to wear the coat that feels true to your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2x-weekend-casual#post-2230843 Sun, 10 Oct 2021 18:16:37 +0000 L'Abeille 2230843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am loving look #1! If you feel it's too stiff, try tying the scarf differently, aiming for off-duty instead of office. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2x-weekend-casual#post-2230839 Sun, 10 Oct 2021 18:10:24 +0000 The Cat 2230839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #1. The cream jacket looks delicious, and the colour repetition in the scarf and footwear makes the ensemble extra yummy. You look gorgeous in high-contrast ( black&amp;white etc.) outfits like this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2x-weekend-casual#post-2230832 Sun, 10 Oct 2021 17:38:18 +0000 cat2 2230832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On 1, I think the coat collar, hoodie top and scarf all bundled together may be giving a sort of closed in look at the top. What about opening the neck area up a bit with a boatneck sweater? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2x-weekend-casual#post-2230830 Sun, 10 Oct 2021 17:36:47 +0000 kellygirl 2230830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the denim coat especially. Both are gorgeous. Frumpy is not a work I can associate with you and I always enjoy your posts. You are a style inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2x-weekend-casual#post-2230816 Sun, 10 Oct 2021 16:44:35 +0000 Mirjana 2230816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The second outfit is absolutely winner with the denim coat, beautiful. I see what you mean for the first. You always look elegant and that pants and the rest of the outfit are elegant but sneakers are too casual, two or three colors I can't see, so just change them, maybe black or white, cream, or casual shoes and the problem solved. As Tanya said, no need to apologize about lot of posting, it's a pleasure to see your outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2x-weekend-casual#post-2230813 Sun, 10 Oct 2021 16:35:32 +0000 Suz 2230813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What <b>Tanya</b> and <b>Carol </b>said! Your outfits always provide inspiration (these included!). Love how you styled the denim coat. It's amazing how sometimes an item can suddenly come into its own with the right "support act" as Angie calls it. The faux leather pants are real winners for you in this case.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think maybe the footwear felt off in #1. The cooler tones of those sneakers may be fighting with the warmer cream (though maybe less so, IRL, than in the pic?) In any case, I'm betting you'd like the outfit wiht a different shoe. It may feel a bit less casual than you were aiming for, too, though, with the quilted jacket and structured bag. That just depends on what you were hoping to achieve.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2x-weekend-casual#post-2230812 Sun, 10 Oct 2021 16:35:18 +0000 Star (Lise) 2230812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that denim coat and that outfit is fabulous.&nbsp; I don't see anything wrong with the first one however maybe it is lacking a bit of edge that I see in your other outfits - difficult to pinpoint.&nbsp; Thank you so much for posting regularly lately, I may not always comment but your outfits are very inspirational.&nbsp; You have a very good sense for style and it is interesting and helpful to see what you come up with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2x-weekend-casual#post-2230811 Sun, 10 Oct 2021 16:26:42 +0000 CarolS 2230811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Katerina -- I think you've found the perfect styling for that denim coat -- it looks great over your column of black. I think the length and shape of the pant leg also contributes.</p> <p>I think the second outfit also looks good. If you're feeling something is a bit off, maybe try a cream or black bootie in place of the sneakers?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2x-weekend-casual#post-2230810 Sun, 10 Oct 2021 16:24:58 +0000 Tanya 2230810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First, no need to apologize about lots of posting all the time. It is actually quite the apposite- we should be thanking you for posting, as your combinations provide lots of inspirations. </p> <p>As usual, both outfits are excellent. Love the proportions in the second one, lots of fun. I do not see anything wrong with the first one. If something feels off, perhaps try it with black sneakers/shoes. It might feel sleeker or more “you” that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---2x-weekend-casual#post-2230809 Sun, 10 Oct 2021 16:16:05 +0000 Katerina 2230809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are two outfits I wore this weekend for walks, some errands and a visit to MIL.<br /> The first consists of a cream quilted jacket from Persona by Marina Rinaldi, a pair of Geox sneakers, very old cotton chinos with a black sweater and a classic silk scarf tucked in. The bag is from Coach a few years old and the sunglasses are about 16 years old Stella Mc Cartney. Not loving this - a bit stiff somehow…. frumpy? What do you think? In my head or not good? To much contrast? Wrong shoes? Something else?</p> <p>The second outfit was a pleasant surprise. I dug out an old thrifted denim coat which I rarely wear, because I couldn’t come up with any combination I would really like. Tried it with the new faux leather pants - over a column of black. I think it works - has some ease to it. I felt good in this combo. What do you think?</p> <p>Sorry I am posting all the time now… I am in some kind of phase I guess </p>
