Agree with Angie that "you are ready for Vogue Italia." The sunglasses actually remind of a pair I wore in Venice, Italy, in 1970. You look fab in all these items. Keep them all. You certainly know how to style them.</p> <p>By the way, it would be fun (and likely be appreciated by more than me) if you would write a post about how you tie your scarves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-3-thrifted-bag-and-jackets#post-1909537 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 19:29:29 +0000 Katerina 1909537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much Bijou! You are so kind. You are right. I have other jackets which work with the trousers. But I am not ready to let these go quite yet. Will try to wear them and see how it feels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-3-thrifted-bag-and-jackets#post-1909384 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 13:06:06 +0000 Bijou 1909384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those pants are so amazing and look great with the jackets. I love how you have styled these outfits and can see that these jackets both work well - the issue is, do you have other black jackets that you prefer wearing? If yes, then maybe wear the ones that you love and pass on these, but how they look here is magic.</p> <p>The new thrifted find is wonderful and so perfect with your pants...you have a wonderful eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-3-thrifted-bag-and-jackets#post-1909381 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 13:00:58 +0000 Katerina 1909381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sterling, Mirjana and Brooklyn, thank you very much, you are incredibly kind and supportive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-3-thrifted-bag-and-jackets#post-1909380 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 12:59:54 +0000 Katerina 1909380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Efbgen, thank you very much for your answer.

And this is just another example of you pulling a great “rabbit out of the hat” - you have that magic touch.<br /> If, in your head you still feel so so about long under short..... I will have my daughter call you....... but she is gonna tell ya “to get over it”—— you have my permission to “ roll your eyes “ at her. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-3-thrifted-bag-and-jackets#post-1909318 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 09:41:06 +0000 Katerina 1909318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, thank you so much! You are too kind. Your support means a lot.</p> <p>The Italian Vogue, hah? You crack me up...I must tell my DH photographer </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-3-thrifted-bag-and-jackets#post-1909316 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 09:37:47 +0000 Katerina 1909316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ALL for your time and feedback, and for the kind words. </p> <p>The jackets will probably stay and I will try some more options. Maybe the ”short” thing is my personal hang up right now... </p> <p>Question:<br /> What do you think about the creme shirt hanging out from the olive jacket? Personally I like to have the same length so it does not hang out, but if the jackets are too short, it doesn’t work. And I don’t like to have it tucked in ... This is why I prefer a little longer toppers now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-3-thrifted-bag-and-jackets#post-1909314 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 09:34:16 +0000 CocoLion 1909314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>VERY chic </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-3-thrifted-bag-and-jackets#post-1909264 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 04:11:30 +0000 rachylou 1909264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pants are awesome. The bag is a great complement, as is the scarf.

I prefer the olive jacket here because it goes with the tones of the outfit better. Although I do love the buttons on the navy jacket. Sunglasses are super! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-3-thrifted-bag-and-jackets#post-1909179 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 23:30:54 +0000 Angie 1909179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER to the POWER of KILLER. You make it look easy, and have styled everything beautifully.&nbsp;</p> <p>You are ready for Vogue Italia, <b>Katerina</b>.

Maybe you should try them with some other items. The olive one is great with this outfit, but I can understand just not feeling certain items that others like.</p> <p>What a fun bag/scarf combo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-3-thrifted-bag-and-jackets#post-1909155 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 22:47:27 +0000 Anonymous 1909155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Katerina-&nbsp; I am sorry but I just do not see any difficulty with the look of either jacket.&nbsp; You wear both beautifully- do you think you are not entirely happy because you think they are shorter than your more recent ones? You mentioned that in a previous oldies post, so I wonder if you just perceive they are too short (because they really aren't).&nbsp; They are great garments and both keepers.<br />I think the scarf plays perfectly with the purse and is most certainly a keeper look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-3-thrifted-bag-and-jackets#post-1909140 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 22:04:50 +0000 jussie 1909140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking fantastic!

Nothing looks old or dated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-3-thrifted-bag-and-jackets#post-1909062 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 20:11:21 +0000 Sal 1909062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the bags and glasses and the pants!! How fun.</p> <p>I think the jackets are good but maybe not buttoned? Then the length doesn't matter quite so much. I prefer the scarf in picture 2 - it allows the pants bag and glasses to shine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-3-thrifted-bag-and-jackets#post-1909056 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 20:03:08 +0000 Katerina 1909056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Bonnie and Dianna for the great compliments, you are very kind.</p> <p>Cardiff girl, thank you for looking and for the analysis. Very helpful. I agree, I also think the olive one works with the outfit better. </p> <p>My problem, again, is with the length of the olive one - short.... I used to like short jackets and I guess jackets were shorter ten years ago. Now, not so much. I try different layers to visually extend the lenght. The blue one is not easy to style because it is a slight A-line and short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-3-thrifted-bag-and-jackets#post-1909025 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 19:26:22 +0000 Cardiff girl 1909025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both the jackets and think that you should keep both of them however I think that the olive jacket works better with this outfit than the navy one.The Navy one looks aliitle too heavy for this particular rendition but I think the outfit is fab with the olive jacket ,it really works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-3-thrifted-bag-and-jackets#post-1909017 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 19:16:25 +0000 Dianna 1909017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote keep both jackets, Katerina, they are gorgeous, just as all your pieces (those pants are so fun).&nbsp; I like both your outfits a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-3-thrifted-bag-and-jackets#post-1908990 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 18:46:24 +0000 Bonnie 1908990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fabulous. You are genius at putting outfits together and I love the Dior sunglasses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-outfit-3-thrifted-bag-and-jackets#post-1908988 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 18:41:26 +0000 Katerina 1908988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today, I tried to put together an outfit with a bag I bought in a charity shop yesterday and to include some oldies. These are only test outfits for next week, therefore no makeup and my hair looks really bad.</p> <p>In No 1 I am wearing wide leg patterned trousers, cream shirt, bronze scarf and a bronze metallic large bag with attached little “money” scarf, blue shoes. The oldies are an olive silk/cotton short jacket by Hugo Boss, bought about 10 years ago and huge vintage green Dior sunglasses which my mother bought in the end of 70ies or early 80ies.</p> <p>No 2 is the same combo, but with a navy cotton Escada jacket, about ten years old. </p> <p>I love the sunglasses, but I find the jackets difficult to wear. Again, as with so many of my oldies, really great quality, but I find the shape difficult.</p> <p>What do you guys think about the outfits, the jackets and my new thrifted find? Keep any of the jackets or let go? Grateful for honest feedback, comments, ideas or whatever comes to mind. </p>
