Such a smart idea to change the buttons on your coat!! It always tickles me how fearless you are with white items. I would be afraid of having a white car interior!

The button swap on the coat is brilliant and makes such a difference in brightening up the coat. So clever!

The pairing is nothing short of fabulous--so fresh looking for a winter day. I love how you put your pieces to work!

HAH! Thank you ;) Suz, Yes! I'm back to wearing striped and floral jumpers this week! Giving solids a break. Thanks for the awfully kind words, as always.  Sisi, thank you! Fab to match pearls with car seats ;)  Sisi on "WiW: Oldies" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-1#post-2400642 Thu, 11 Dec 2025 11:01:41 +0000 Sisi 2400642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh, I love this mix of watercolor shades with your pearls and the white car seat! Good idea to replace the coat buttons with light-colored ones. I had the same tought as  Firecracker - you look fresh and Springy.  Super fab!  Suz on "WiW: Oldies" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-1#post-2400634 Thu, 11 Dec 2025 02:20:45 +0000 Suz 2400634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You are wearing pattern! That's a change (these days) and I love tht sweater. What a fresh outfit. Love the added lighter buttons on the coat and the way everything here coordinates so beautifully. You must have turned heads all day on your errands!  slim cat on "WiW: Oldies" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-1#post-2400629 Thu, 11 Dec 2025 00:54:38 +0000 slim cat 2400629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Beautiful! Only you can have "casual errands day" looking like a queen of style ! Angie on "WiW: Oldies" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-1#post-2400624 Wed, 10 Dec 2025 23:35:09 +0000 Angie 2400624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, Jenni! I know, right? Turquoise is scarce here too - and that's why my few SOLID turquoise items are old. My pattered turquoise items are newer!  Jenni NZ on "WiW: Oldies" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-1#post-2400623 Wed, 10 Dec 2025 23:30:35 +0000 Jenni NZ 2400623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Turquoise is beautiful on you, I remember you did a blog post about turquoise once. I like turquoise as well but have not seen much about for a few years so don’t have much of it. Angie on "WiW: Oldies" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-1#post-2400620 Wed, 10 Dec 2025 23:15:09 +0000 Angie 2400620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Janet, your top is cousin to my jumper! Hope your presentation went well, and I know your looked fab :) Go Team Vibrant Coat! Sabimct, Talbots is always worth a look see. Thank you! RobinF, thank you! Swapping out the buttons of a coat is easier than it seems.  Roberta, a bit of juxtaposition ;)  Karie, fab when our wardrobe items stand the test of time. It's satisfying!  Angie on "WiW: Oldies" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-1#post-2400617 Wed, 10 Dec 2025 23:06:20 +0000 Angie 2400617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Lyn67, yes to your styling suggestions for my coat when it had dark buttons! Thanks for the compliment :) Thank you Brooklyn and UmmLila! Appreciate the kind words. Your blues and greens love you right back! Dee and LJP, yes! I wear Spring colours throughout the year. My faves!  (And why black shoes do not make sense). Just got back from the salon. Feeling refreshed with my short sleek textured bob. Have fun at your apps!  Karie on "WiW: Oldies" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-1#post-2400610 Wed, 10 Dec 2025 20:56:52 +0000 Karie 2400610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Beautiful items, no wonder they have stood the test of time! I like the coat so much better with lighter buttons! Angie on "WiW: Oldies" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-1#post-2400595 Wed, 10 Dec 2025 17:22:12 +0000 Angie 2400595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks very much, everyone!  Bonnie, Carol and Star, go Team Turquoise (and Green)! "Upgrade" is a good word to describe the newer blonde buttons on my coat Bella, thanks for the hair affection! On that note, I'm off to have my haircut. Simply a trim and shape to create that sharp short layered bobbed look I'm enjoying at the moment. A little highlighting too.  I'll be back in a bit.... Roberta on "WiW: Oldies" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-1#post-2400592 Wed, 10 Dec 2025 16:07:53 +0000 Roberta 2400592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The dressy wool coat with the raw edge jeans is such a good contrast / combination! LJP on "WiW: Oldies" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-1#post-2400573 Wed, 10 Dec 2025 14:00:44 +0000 LJP 2400573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So pretty, and spring-like!  Smart idea to switch up the buttons. Makes a lot of sense when you don't wear dark footwear either.  Have fun at the salon - I'm in Saturday and also looking forward to it! RobinF on "WiW: Oldies" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-1#post-2400570 Wed, 10 Dec 2025 13:43:25 +0000 RobinF 2400570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love these colors on you! And the fun jeans. Good idea to swap the buttons, I have done that but wouldn't have thought about it on a coat. Nice change.  Janet on "WiW: Oldies" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-1#post-2400567 Wed, 10 Dec 2025 12:34:35 +0000 Janet 2400567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It’s great to see you posting so many outfits lately! That coat is so pretty and reminds me of my now-gone J Crew pea coat which was a similar color (and I had also switched out the buttons, gold for silver!). I passed it along several years ago when it became a little too snug and I stopped wearing it. But it reminds me how much I like the look of a vibrant coat. That sweater is such a great pattern and palette! It reminds me a little bit of this abstract patterned cashmere turtleneck my husband got me for my birthday. I’m giving a presentation tonight and am thinking of wearing it layered under a soft green jacket that was also a birthday gift. sabimct on "WiW: Oldies" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-1#post-2400566 Wed, 10 Dec 2025 12:31:59 +0000 sabimct 2400566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I so enjoyed these pictures - thank you for sharing.  You are an inspiration!  And thanks for the reminder about Talbots! Dee on "WiW: Oldies" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-1#post-2400565 Wed, 10 Dec 2025 11:52:24 +0000 Dee 2400565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So pretty, love this colour combination. Reminds me of spring. UmmLila (Lisa) on "WiW: Oldies" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-1#post-2400564 Wed, 10 Dec 2025 11:13:53 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2400564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Beautiful coat. Your color sense is perfect. Brooklyn on "WiW: Oldies" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-1#post-2400553 Wed, 10 Dec 2025 09:34:14 +0000 Brooklyn 2400553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look gorgeous! Love the soft blue green combination. lyn67 on "WiW: Oldies" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-1#post-2400549 Wed, 10 Dec 2025 09:05:20 +0000 lyn67 2400549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ YLF Angie, in your lighter brights, a sunray in the darks! It totally makes sense changing colors of the buttons on that coat. I would have done it myself, too! Having dark buttons means a more contrasted or accented outfit  which you probably could do either using  a dark shawl, bag or soles, also perhaps a dark column  or  an outfit blocked  with a darker item  underneath to relate with  but to be honest, think the coat itself does not need dark buttons at all, neither for a brunette...but, who I am to tell that, of course...:-). bella on "WiW: Oldies" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-1#post-2400546 Wed, 10 Dec 2025 07:44:14 +0000 bella 2400546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a lovely idea to bring your coat in line with your current preference. Buttons are an easy fix! I really like your hair like this, but I am also curious to see what you are going for in tomorrow's appointment.
