@Star @CarolS @Jaime
Thank you! It's taken me a few years but I've slowly managed to build up a dark/ warm chocolate brown capsule (complement?) across all clothing items. I know brown is supposed to be trending but it doesn't seem to be trickling down so much here (in HK), hence the (stocking up) overkill whilst I can!
@Suntiger
I'm thinking of painting the zip pulls specifically (I have done zipper teeth before but it was very fiddly not to get it elsewhere - steady hand & a tiny nail polish brush!) But this was too much of a HEWI to pass up (cropped, brown, roomy enough for layers), despite the silver hardware.

Thank you, all comments are welcome (especially compliments, lol)! They're from ASOS - I have one bronze, one brown: https://www.asos.com/parisian/...../200634536 Seems they have a few other 'satin cargo pants' styles in stock too! I like this Parisian brand in particular (it tends to hold up well, despite being trendy).
@Angie @Sal @CarolS
Thank you, wasn't expecting the dickie love! Despite it looking like a 'silly' piece of clothing (it got DH's Frowny Face of Disapproval, lol) the smaller one is just right for throwing in my bag for HK's humidly hot yet 'flash rains' sort of weather (I don't like wearing a long hooded garment all day just for the possibility of 20 minutes of rain!)
I got the velvet (big) one on sale from Yoox https://mobile.yoox.com/hk/46816294/item? and the other (smaller) dickie is the 'Ivy hood dickey' from Universal Standard - still kicking myself for not buying the purple (eggplant) version when it was still in stock because you're right, dickies aren't commonly found!
I actually got the idea to wear the dickies by themselves (*over* my clothing) from @approprio's thread: https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....e%e2%80%a6
I'll admit that I still mostly wear the smaller dicky under my toppers but the velvet one over (since the hood is quite bulky) - I've actually wore it for grocery shopping just like shown in #16 (over a long sleeved tee). I did get some weird looks but the hood shielded me from them (literally, haha!)
@Nikki
Yes, the boots are also brown, the FitFlop Signey Mixte - I have the longer & shorter versions, both very comfy
The decor in #20 is actually the giant tinsel star! I've attached #22 to give you a better idea of scale - the school must have had to coordinate folk on all the different floors at the same time to get it hung up, quite a feat!
@Suz
Haha I love chocolate too (in all its iterations)!
Now that I've finally scrounged up enough pieces, I'm not too fussy about ensuring each one matches exactly - chocolate comes in all sorts of shades, after all
