WIW 1/21: 70stastic in olive and gray

This outfit feels like something I would have worn back in the day -- in a good way!

Gray wide leg pants: YLF swap
Print silk blouse: Hinge
Olive jacket: Theory
Green bag: Nanette Lepore via YLF swap (waving at Adelfa!)
Purple pumps: Jessica Simpson
Studded belt: Streets Ahead

I feel like the jacket looks a little darker in the photo than it does in person. Anyway, the colors all tie in nicely with the blouse, which is one of my very first purchases after I found YLF! Happiness factor is high today.

What do you all think?

(Bonus shot of white jeans and B-44-knockoff top from my day off yesterday!)

Nice colors and those pants - wow! You dressed a lot nicer in the 70's than I did

On my screen the olive and the blouse look too warm for the pants -- is there grey in the blouse? I am sure it looks awesome in person. Your blue and white look is lovely.

Loving those grey trousers! So fun with the patterned shirt.

I also love the blue and white together. So fab and fresh.

Ceit, thanks for the honest feedback. There is in fact gray in the blouse so I think I'm okay in person!

#3 is making me long for spring.

Here on this snow day.

You look retro-fab! The gray wide-leg trousers are stunning on you. Olive and gray is a somewhat unexpected pairing, but it looks great… will have to try that combo. Your casual blue and white outfit is also quite sharp… modern nautical.

I love the colors (an old favorite and a new favorite). And you look great in it, too!

Both of these are great! I like the blouse and wide-leg pants together. The blue and white top is very flattering on you.

How fun to see you in gorgeous wide leg trousers. You look sensational, Mary. Drop the blouse neckline by a foot and a half and you're ready to join the cast of American Hustle. I'll also provide a lovely lad with a comb-over. xo
