That blazer is a wonderful find and I really like the way you pulled the outfit together with the jeans. Speaking of the jeans they are fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thrifted-burgundy-and-gold-blazer#post-1902962 Sat, 31 Mar 2018 12:40:34 +0000 ChrisM 1902962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the sunnies too - and the second pic is a little mischievous looking, which is so cute! Well done!

Your scarf and jacket are amazing together, probably because they are not matching and yet look as though they were made to go together. I want my weather to cool down so I can wear clothes like this (not that I have any)! Thank you for posting your outfits because they are so inspiring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thrifted-burgundy-and-gold-blazer#post-1902738 Fri, 30 Mar 2018 12:46:46 +0000 Katerina 1902738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much, Mainelady and Cindysmith! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thrifted-burgundy-and-gold-blazer#post-1902721 Fri, 30 Mar 2018 11:29:37 +0000 cindysmith 1902721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the blazer and love the scarf! I'd never think they'd go together by looking at them individually but this combination works </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thrifted-burgundy-and-gold-blazer#post-1902705 Fri, 30 Mar 2018 10:05:13 +0000 Mainelady 1902705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love how you do casual! This is a great outfit and I am so happy you gave that scarf a try and it more than met the challenge. I think this look is sophisticated and spunky with a hint of sass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thrifted-burgundy-and-gold-blazer#post-1902684 Fri, 30 Mar 2018 07:59:27 +0000 Katerina 1902684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ALL for looking and for the wonderful compliments! What a nice thing to wake up to on a weekend morning! </p> <p>Tulle, I don’t know exactly why it works either, My starting point was the colours - the red, the golden yellow and the blue- grey in the scarf to echo the colours of the jacket and the colour of the jeans. But I had doubts if the pattern and the modern style would work with the vintage dressy fabric of the blazer. Now when you say it .... yes, it must be the organic pattern of the blazer with the abstract palm leaves on the scarf, but how the stripes work I have no idea .... It just proves the point that we have to try on everything without prejudice to see what works </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thrifted-burgundy-and-gold-blazer#post-1902680 Fri, 30 Mar 2018 07:06:09 +0000 tulle 1902680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This outfit proves that vintage silhouettes can look totally current without alteration, if worn and accessorized with enough brio.&nbsp; I don't know exactly why that scarf works so well (I feel that it has something to do with those fine straight grey lines in the background and the organic meander of the brocade in the jacket, but how they correspond, I'm not sure) but it certainly electrifies the whole look--and don't you love it when, after trying everything you can think of, something unexpected finally clicks? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thrifted-burgundy-and-gold-blazer#post-1902678 Fri, 30 Mar 2018 06:26:33 +0000 CocoLion 1902678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The outfit is stunning. &nbsp;Love the way the polished jacket, scarf and shoes juxtapose with the edgy jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thrifted-burgundy-and-gold-blazer#post-1902675 Fri, 30 Mar 2018 05:30:03 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1902675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super fun outfit, casual with polish! I like the scarf you chose, and the shiny boots to finish off the outfit. The jeans are very cool looking, and I like the combo of their rough-looking unmatched hems with the formal fabric of the blazer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thrifted-burgundy-and-gold-blazer#post-1902661 Fri, 30 Mar 2018 02:58:01 +0000 Jaime 1902661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is how to make a thrifted, vintage blazer look current and fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thrifted-burgundy-and-gold-blazer#post-1902637 Fri, 30 Mar 2018 00:14:35 +0000 Freckles 1902637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful.&nbsp; What an interesting fabric that blazer is made out&nbsp; of, it&nbsp; has spunk. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thrifted-burgundy-and-gold-blazer#post-1902629 Fri, 30 Mar 2018 00:00:12 +0000 Suz 1902629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing in this!

I would have never thought to style it more casual but it so works. Like the play of scarf off shirt and purse. That’s why you continue to show us how it is done, Katrina!

The blazer has large shoulder pads and is rather fitted - I guess it is eighties or early nineties.&nbsp;<br />I wear the blazer, burgundy shirt, blue jeans, burgundy patent boots, large burgundy/red bag, large gold earrings, red sunnies and a large patterned silk scarf with red/gold yellow abstract leaves on it and small light blue stripes.&nbsp;</p> <p>I was quite happy about this outfit - kind of casual fun. It took me a long time to find a scarf which would work with the blazer and somehow tied it together with the blue jeans. Almost gave up on the idea. In the end tried this one - just in case - and I liked the maximal vibe.</p> <p>What do you guys think?<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; </p>
