Oh, kellygirl, I’m blushing! Thank you! I always find my outfits a bit plain

Kellygirl expressed beautifully what I was thinking. My mind is furiously running trough my wardrobe to see if I can copy the look

Chic. Classy. Elegant. Those are the words.

Thank you, ladies.
I love this sweater, soft, warm and almost doesn’t pill.

I am surprised how much I like this silhouette. Looks very elegant and effortless.

Isn't interesting how some not very costly zara knits last for ever?I have a couple of them like that.

Irina! You are dishing up a treat for us! Thank you for participating in the OBG challenge. These looks totally embody your style persona(s). So, so, contemporary, urban, chic.

Thank you, Carla. I usually don’t post my outfits but this challenge has been fun so far. I might run out of older clothes soon, though

I love the way you’ve layered the oatmeal with the white shirt, the light neutrals add a depth to each other and seem to soften the black pants.

I really like these outfits, not my usual style at all but very inspirational.

Irina, I'm so glad you are posting -- I love your luxe-looking, beautifully textured and elegantly oversized looks -- just stunning! This is a true beauty. And don't you love it when a Zara item stands the test of time? I have a few of them. Just because it's "fast fashion" doesn't mean it's discardable fashion. Some of my Zara pieces are long lived.

Thank you, Suz.

You are so right about Zara. I don’t buy much from them but everything I bought lasted long and served me well.

You nailed it! I love the cream and white popping through the dark! The 6 year old Zara pullover hasn't pilled either. IMPRESSED!

What an elegant look. You look wonderful.

Quality does not equal price - I have had long lived pieces from all sorts of shops.

I love this. I love every piece of it. Especially pic 1. It’s simple, but elevated and stylish. Something to aim for.

Gorgeous. Looks so dressy in the first iteration but casualizes beautifully. Love the more casual shoes especially- I would like to steal those!

Irina

Veteran

Thank you all very much.
Jenni, Cole Haan is my #1 brand. Most of their oxfords and sneakers fit my very problematic feet well.

Kate

Veteran

I.love.this. Every single piece. Especially outfit #2. I agree with you re Cole Haan. I have many of their oxfords, and they fit my long, narrow feet beautifully.

You have a way with black and white! That Zara sweater is so lovely.

Beautiful! I always love a nonochromatic bl&w outfit, this longer length straight cut sweater in cashmere is the bomb! Love both stylings!

This is indeed beautiful. I love your sweater, I have two coats from Zara that have been well made and hard wearing. Your Kate Spade pumps are so pretty with the scalloped detail.

Very luxe and chic looks. Love your style.
