Silky embroidered bomber - Zara - 2016
black tank top - Yogalishious - 2015
jeans - Calvin Klein - 2019
sneakers - Converse - 2019
fisherman’s cap - H&M - 2002
bag - Longchamps Lepliage Neo - 2015

Embroidered bombers were a ‘thing’ in 2016, but my love for this one endures. https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....ara-bomber Most often I paired it with a black skirt, black dress, or black pants for work. Now it’s part of my dressy capsule. I like to bring it with me when I travel.

Neo pressed into service toting swim kit.

Cap bought many, many years ago. Surprisingly beautiful quality for a ‘fast fashion’ brand.

Thanks for looking!

This is such fun outfit, I would never think of adding a cap to it but it looks wonderful! Very creative!

My gosh, Carla - you are killing it! I love how your cap bookends your sneakers and the white soles pick up the light embroidery in the jacket. Another slam dunk!

Carla, I will never forget your purchase of this bomber -- it really took your style (and your "fun in fashion") quotient to new levels, and how beautifully it has worked with blush, olive, and so many other tones in your wardrobe over the years. It may date from a few years back but it will never really go out of style. Brava!

This bomber was a great addition and I am pleased to see that it still comes out to play. I have a fondness for bomber style jackets too.

And I am impressed you still have the cap - one thing I tend to lose is hats.......

I remember that bomber MsMaven let! It inspired me to add a black silky bomber jacket with a floral print to my wardrobe. I still have it. Your challenge has shown me that most of my closet is full of oldies. I love the whole outfit on you.

I remember you posting about that jacket and wanting one as well!

Fishermen cap looks so good with your curls! Plus, I like the cap bookended with the wide cuff jeans. There's a sassy, stylish, nautical vibe about this outfit that isn't preppy.

Yes! I remember the embroidered bomber time and you have given it the perfect Carla treatment with the turned up cuffs and sneakers. And hat with hair! I die!

No wonders your love endures for that bomber- It's subtle shine, big contrast but neutral color mix. and fluid fit is the best mix of casual with dressy-so makes it a fab piece for both your dressy and casual(including travel) capsule! Love the big cuffed pants, and the shoe choice...& THE CAP! TDF!
