I like the high/low of the outfit and think it looks nice on you. Bet it looks good with skirts too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-2-navy-blazer#post-1908940 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 16:18:34 +0000 Katerina 1908940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Efbgen! What a pity you had to let your blue blazer go.<br /> Right now I am fiddling with my new thrift shop finds, trying to make them work with my oldies outfit for tomorrow </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-2-navy-blazer#post-1908833 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 12:17:14 +0000 Anonymous 1908833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>About 3 months ago I had to pitch my navy blazer- I am jealous yours still looks great- yay classics. I want that bag and boots,<br /> Can’t wait to see post on your second hand shopping expedition- you have such great taste and a discerning eye ......and are incredible lucky with finding fab pieces;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-2-navy-blazer#post-1908827 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 12:08:51 +0000 Katerina 1908827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much, Bijou! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-2-navy-blazer#post-1908776 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 08:41:33 +0000 Bijou 1908776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am with Staysfit - so I think closet editing is going to be hard for you especially as you have these wonderful and timeless pieces. I love your use of colour in this outfit. I think the elephant legs jeans will be great with this blazer too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-2-navy-blazer#post-1908773 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 08:34:17 +0000 Katerina 1908773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much for the lovely compliments and the encouragement. So kind!</p> <p>I will repeat this outfit and also use my other pair of blue jeans (the elephant legs :-)) which are also quite current. Now, the challenging part will be to find more combinations with bottoms that would not read too preppy. Or maybe I will do a retro outfit that would intentionally be super preppy...</p> <p>Any thoughts most welcome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-2-navy-blazer#post-1908722 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 02:47:54 +0000 Jaime 1908722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The preppiness of the patch just begs to be matched with patched jeans. Perfectly done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-2-navy-blazer#post-1908676 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 00:19:43 +0000 kkards 1908676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>that jacket totally has a preppy vibe...but you've totally styled it in a way that works to de-preppy the vibe (which IMO makes it more&nbsp;authentic to the old money preppy&nbsp;aesthetic....) &nbsp;i love this.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-2-navy-blazer#post-1908667 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 23:58:22 +0000 Colette 1908667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect! I would love to wear this. And ditto what Staysfit said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-2-navy-blazer#post-1908666 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 23:55:55 +0000 Cee 1908666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kickin' it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-2-navy-blazer#post-1908661 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 23:46:39 +0000 Bonnie 1908661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Jenn that the blazer works really well with the new jeans. The red top is a nice touch with all of your neutrals. Well done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-2-navy-blazer#post-1908600 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 21:42:08 +0000 Anonymous 1908600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Jenn and Staysfit said. You know how to breathe new life into those great oldies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-2-navy-blazer#post-1908596 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 21:37:05 +0000 Jenn 1908596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first thought on seeing the blazer was that,!yea, it is quintessentially preppy, but I think that quintessential part is what makes it work. I love the vibe paired with the very 2018 jeans here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-2-navy-blazer#post-1908592 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 21:29:11 +0000 jussie 1908592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks fab! Once again you’ve nailed it Katerina :). Love the soft colours in the shoes/bag/scarf juxtaposed against the bolder red top and the dark blazer. Clever! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-2-navy-blazer#post-1908589 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 21:22:05 +0000 Dianna 1908589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blazer may skew preppy, but the outfit itself&nbsp;is not, it is very Katerina.&nbsp; And it is a gorgeous blazer, so glad you are keeping it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-2-navy-blazer#post-1908515 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 19:42:17 +0000 Katerina 1908515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ALL very much, you are so kind as always.</p> <p>Staysfit, wow, I am blushing. What amazing compliments. I am sure there are things in my wardrobe that I should pass on, but I keep this blazer. Will have to start wearing it more often too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-2-navy-blazer#post-1908510 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 19:30:24 +0000 Amy Isabella 1908510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You hit the nail right on the head Staysfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-2-navy-blazer#post-1908508 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 19:27:21 +0000 Staysfit 1908508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a funny feeling there isn’t a single item in your vast collection that we would say you should give away! Your taste is impeccable! Your sense of style is superb! I hope you decide to keep this and wear it, because it doesn’t read as too preppy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-2-navy-blazer#post-1908501 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 19:20:00 +0000 Amy Isabella 1908501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfection </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-2-navy-blazer#post-1908496 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 19:17:11 +0000 Cardiff girl 1908496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it’s too preppy for you send it to me!I think that jacket is fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-2-navy-blazer#post-1908492 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 19:14:28 +0000 Angie 1908492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Preppy Vintage Modern Chic.

Another homerun Katerina! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-2-navy-blazer#post-1908463 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 17:51:43 +0000 Katerina 1908463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Saturday, went second hand shopping - fun, found many great things, scarves etc., but that’s another story :-)</p> <p>Today’s outfit was very simple. I was wearing a very dark navy wool blazer with white embroidered detail on the breast pocket, red top, jeans, grey suede boots, light grey linen scarf and a grey bag, red sunnies and red lipstick.</p> <p>The blazer is Escada, bought in an outlet about nine years ago. Super quality of fabric and execution. I still like it, but don’t wear it almost at all. It reads a bit preppy to me, but I was pleased with the outfit today using the jeans.</p> <p>What do you guys think? I am grateful for honest feedback, styling tips and whatever comes to mind. </p>
