OBG #3 thrifting my own closet

So….I’ll start by saying that I didn’t end up wearing outfit #1. Now the history….I have no idea how old this jacket really is, I think it’s from 1995-1996, because I would have been working for Casual Corner than, and pop of color over black was the way back than. And it’s from a time when clothing in the US was still being made here, (for those of us US fabbers of a certain age, sorry if #2 starts “the look for the Union label”jingle running thru your head) anyway, between Angie’s hint of spring post and her sort jacket one, I thought I’d pull it out and wear it….but after looking at the photo, I changed….I think 1st these jeans are wrong, i think I should have tried a wide leg pair…2nd not 100% sure on the shoulders….what do you think should I try again?

Thanks for looking. As always all comments and suggestions are welcome and appreciated

I like that jacket on you and you should totally wear it. I would either swap the jeans with your full length wide ones or the sneakers with booties that close the gap.

It definitely has a 90’s vibe to it, and although its a fun bright colour and fits you well, I’m not too sure how to style it for today.
Perhaps a cropped denim wide leg and a taller black bootie might work but if its too difficult to update, I’d likely not keep it anymore.

What's old is new again! Love the jacket, agree wider pants would be better. I just bought this similarly shaped cropped jacket from & Other Stories, awaiting delivery any day! And I probably WILL wear it with a column of black color under, throwback Friday. Although I SHOULD consider other combos. I think the green would look great with denim, too, for business casual. As would your orange. Oh that orange is divine!

Casual Corner! Look for the union label! I am in nostalgia land! I think the jacket looks great on you; the color is yummy and I love a strong shoulder. Spring is sprung in that jacket. Your jeans/ shoe game is impeccable so I am sure you will find the combo(s) most pleasing to
your own eye.

Love the jacket on you. I think the way you styled it is fresh and cool. Grew up in a union family and joined up as soon as I could.

Bonnie

Cute jacket and I really like it worn with the pants you have on. Maybe change the shoes. I'm sure it will look great with the wide leg pants, too.

Very cute! Lovely colour! I like that the jacket is cropped. Yes, wide legs would work with it.

Irina

I would try it with blue, lighter jeans or a denim skirt, I think you have a midi one.

What fun! I agree with the commenters on the blue crops.

You look awesome in orange! Great jacket! I remember Casual Corner. My mother would shop there often and I spent a lot of time in the dressing rooms with her. Maybe try it with faux leather pants or skirt

Thanks for the vote of confidence on the jacket. I’m going to play around with different bottoms this weekend, and wear the best version next week.

That is a flipping cute jacket! I see it with wider legs. Yes try again.

Arg! How dare you start that jingle up!
Excellent jacket, excellent on you. Rock on, dude.

Angie I have a green one that i think you’ll like as well. Trying to go thru something’s before the closet organization begins.

I'm excited!

Ok now *that* is a fabulous jacket . I actually like it with these jeans which give the outfit a sculptural vibe . The other suggestions would work too - this would be a super versatile piece . And , you look great in orange ! I remember the Casual Corner days from when I was a buyer for a Cdn chain . We used to shop CC for samples for production , lol.

Love the jacket, both the style and the color. Let us see how further experiments work out. I do remember Casual Corner, and it seems to me I bought many items there.

Jaime

I love finding union labels! Anyway, this jacket is fabulous and I would try it with a lighter wash jean.
