Some outfits and some new items

Katerina

Veteran

Dear friends,
I was playing in my wardrobe and trying on some new outfits and some new items. Some outfits i have worn, some are for future use. These are the results:
a) New coral blazer from Dorothee Schumacher, bought on deep discount. I love it, it is an excellent quality. Here I have tried it with burgundy trousers from Max and co. and a scarf from Codello. This is an autumn version. I also tried it with white trousers from Escada I have had for many yeaers, red bag from Cavalli Class and a favourite scarf from Elie Saab - a more spring and summer version.
b) Dress from a Danish brand Munthe, here worn as a tunic. Lovely cotton flannel, feels literally like a soft winter pyjamas.... Also an autumn outfit for the future.
c) Pattern-mix pseudo twin-set from Escada, here worn with black trousers and sneakers - another to wait for the autumn.
d) New light blue blouse from Escada sport with ruffles on the sleeves. Love wearing it.
e) Navy linen dress, here worn as a duster. This is my version of minimalism
f) New patchwork pattern dress from Lala Berlin. Mix of viscose and silk, breezy and fun, I think...
g) Wardrobe orphan - a patterned jacket from Persona. I love the colours, the pattern, the style, but don't wear it almost at all... I do have trousers that fit, but I don't feel fab in it ... I will try to wear it more often when the weather will be cooler. Any ideas how to style it?
h) Green and yellow jersey coat from Change, worn with striped top, navy trousers and sneakers. I added a scarf with similar stripes and flowers in the same yellow tone as the inside of the coat. I think the scarf makes this combo fun. I wore this many times during the spring now, a super comfy casual outfit. It surprised me actually how good I felt in this outfit, because I am not normally a fan of stripes and not a huge fan of jersey and the greenish tone is not my best colour either... Go figure

Do you guys like these? All comments are much appreciated and I am also grateful for styling tips, ideas and whatever comes to mind.

WOOOHOOOO! Have missed your looks.

Katerina, I see a bit of a style evolution, and love it! Have to run, but will be back to gush over the gorgeous fabness of your outfits.

You are set for fall a d cooler weather with some beautiful outfits. I love how you have styled everything. You might consider red shoes with the patchwork dress but let the dress be the star of the outfit. You could also use black and white shoes with several of these outfits...maybe Chanel style flat in white with black patent toe caps or even black sneakers with white soles. I want to steal your citron scarf, it is so beautiful.

Gorgeous outfits, as always. My favourite is 12/13.

Re g: Fun, dramatic jacket with arty vibes. How about adding shoes and/or accessories (i e. a hat or headband) in a bold colour like hot pink or cobalt blue? For a more summery look, you could replace the black pants with white pants or a white knee-length skirt.

Angie, thank you very much. You are so kind as always!

Wow! What a treat to see you! You have such beautiful pieces and put them together so well. I love the tunics especially--different looks for you and still so chic! Your style looks more relaxed but in a very polished way. SO pretty and inspiring!

Joy, thank you. It is a great idea to wear black and white shoes. They would look great with 4-5 and 6-7 for sure, and maybe even the patchwork dress.

Thank you The Cat and thanks for helping me with the wardrobe orphan. I don't have a summer skirt at the moment, but maybe start looking for some white (or cream) pencil skirts to wear with this jacket, it would be interesting.

Wow, Katerina , so gorgeous outfits! Love them all, but as I am a fan of the white pants, my favorite is #12, and the next #9. You look really amazing.

Kelly, thank you, what a nice comment.

Thank you very much Mirjana. I also love white trousres, they are part of my summer uniform as I don´t wear that many dresses.

Your style is always so glam! Just love it! I’m a little envious of people who have climates for which this can be considered anything close to summer dressing. I’m sweating it out in shorts and a tee today. I kind of hate summer. My style takes a serious nosedive! LOL

Love these outfits. My favorites are #12 and #14

Lots of great new pieces and outfits! I really like dress worn as duster
10/11 and pieces from Escada - the "twin set" 6/7 and blue blouse 8/9.
The last outfit is fab with stripes and citron mixed together - love!

Irina

All the outfits are so lovely! My favorite is with the Escada blue shirt. Gorgeous!
Have you tried the Persona jacket with white pants or jeans? Or cream ( it’s hard to see if the pattern is with white or cream). And I like it more without a scarf. Also maybe with navy jeans plus a brown accessories?

I see a style shift as well. Maybe a smidge less classic - more relaxed/casual, but considered and slightly feminine. Perfect for the times we live in.

Simply stunning! Can't possibly pick a favourite, but just as it's a different tone for you, I must say that blue is really gorgeous on you!

So wonderful to see your fabulous outfits! I feel inspired already! Every click meant a new favorite. I especially love the new patchwork dress/tunic in 12 (also would look good with white shoes), and the new blue top. I would say they represent the slight shift to slightly less dramatic, softer but still stunning, looks. Still love the maximal impact of black and white though!

Katerina, you are stunning in all of these. I am wowed by #8/9 and #12/13 because they are such a lovely summer version of your style - no wonder you feel fab wearing these, they look so wonderful. I also love your jacket and scarf combinations, you have such amazing style.

In terms of the jacket in #14/15, I would try wearing it with a column of colour, red or cobalt really appeal to me, underneath to break up the pattern, treating it like the jersey coat in terms of styling.

Gorgeous all around. It is incredibly hard picking a favorite, but I love the soft blue blouse with white pants in #8/9. It is so pretty!

Brooklyn

Lovely to see you! And I agree with Runcarla about your style shift. Softer and more relaxed. I love 8/9 in particular, but you look lovely in all.

So many lovely outfits! My favourite outfit are nr 9, 10 and 13,

How exciting, a group of stunning outfits! The new coral blazer is amazing on you--great find. I like both the autumn and spring/summer versions. So different and both so great on you. These outfits are classic Katerina in my view.

8-9 is such a breezy, polished casual look. The sleeves just make the outfit. This looks like "Katerina on a weekend" to me.

Angie mentions an evolution in your style, and I see you continuing to branch out into a little less structure, and adding some whimsical, artistic elements in some outfits. It's fun to see; you have such a great eye.

In 6-7, 10-11, and 16-17, I see a little looser version of your formal, pristine, structured style. I like it a lot.

In 4-5 and 12-13, I see more playfulness coming out. The dress in 4-5 is fun and quirky, and sounds so comfy to wear. I like
how you're wearing it over slim pants with your sneakers (I think?), and
I could see it with the shiny clogs as well. Also with tights & the
clogs, or tights and tall flat boots. The color and pattern, and the luxe fabric in 12-13 launches it into stunning territory for me; this look is so gorgeous on you. I could see it with white sneakers, too.

14-15 is lovely on you. It stands apart in that the jacket is a stiffer fabric than the other patterned pieces you are showing us here; it may not feel as carefree, soft, or breezy to wear for that reason. The pattern is also a larger scale, which I can see as being a harder adjustment to make, when you are used to adding bold pattern in smaller doses, as in scarves. I like that you have paired this statement jacket with wider, drapey yet structured trousers--I think they are an excellent match. Too slim a pant could be overpowered by the jacket, in my view. I also like how you've used a scarf down the middle in the first photo. What about wearing the jacket open to similarly show a column of solid color down the front?

I love 16/17 - the pattern mixing and the colour mixing. Fab!

Love the first outfit and the black and white tunic especially!

#1 to #3 is signature Katerina, and KILLER as always.

My fave is #12 and #13 - new boho-lite vibe with your special glam touch!

Beautifully comfy elegance in #14, and sublime Sporty Luxe in #9.

LOVING these fun and relaxed changes and the noticeable slight style evolution. Rock on

Great outfits, all of them! My fave is the tonal fabness in the first outfit, but I also like the direction you're heading with the others.

You are just an amazing stylist with so much flair and artistic sensibility. 12 and 13 are my faves. I'm drawn to boho cuts and the way they flow when worn, and the patterns and colors you chose are so luscious.

Wow, I love all of the pattern and color on display here--what a fab wardrobe you have! I especially love the new orange jacket with the burgundy pants, the non-traditional twin set, and the multi-print tunic with white pants!

I am sorry to come back late with my response. Thank you all very much for the kind and supportive comments, and for the interesting and helpful style analysis and styling tips. It means a lot to me and I appreciate you taking the time and interest. I am very happy to be a part of this fantastic community.

I feel my style is changing somewhat, you are very observant and great at identifying and describing what is happening. I must say I am not only happy about it as a part of the change has been driven by the change of lifestyle during the pandemic, wfh mostly, non existent social life, travels etc. Like for many people these days. Another aspect is the season… I much prefer autumn and winter dressing and struggle with my summer style. It has been like that all my life. I’m happy about my new spring and summer items - don’t take me wrong - but every autumn I just feel more joy and have more fun with fashion.
