WIW 9/20 : Inspired by ’90s Minimalism

Hi All,

Inspired by Angie's Friday post I shopped my closet to make some of the suggested outfits. These looks really inspired me to wear neutral these days. I tried no. 1, 2 and 3 and here are my wear to wear them. I wouldn't be me if I didn't add a little color and jewelry, but that's definitely my way, I can't fight myself.

1.Mom slim fit jeans, light grey marl cardigan, black patent belt, red patent pumps and brooch . ( # 1)

2.Black cullote high ankle jeans, dark beige Short-sleeved jumper, silver oxfords and bag, silver necklace and cinnamon suede jacket for twinset effect. (# 2-3) I wore this on Friday afternoon.

3. I like all white but not all black but outfit no. 2 tickled me to try something similar –black light sweater, black paper bag pants, black loafers and the thin gold necklaces I wore in the '90s and mustard bag. I needed a topper so I put on a black blazer and scarf. ( #4-6) . My outfit on Sunday

4. And finally my neutral outfit I wore last week - Khaki green High waist twill pants, black light sweater, snakeskin loafers and necklace ( #7).

This is certainly not minimalism, but it is my way of wearing dark neutral colors.

Thank you for looking. Any comments or suggestions are more than welcome.

I love # 1 with the pop of red and # 2/3 (colours and silhouette). Very elegant!

Dee

I love your versions, those pops of colour look fab. You gotta be you and it totally works.

Joy

You have given us so much inspiration here. You look wonderful and everything looks just right for going into fall.

Star

I MUCH prefer your versions of '90s "minimalism", Mirjana Beautifully pulled together and elegant as always. What Dee said.

#6 is my KILLER fave! The scarf and bag add a magical touch.

Love #1 with the red shoes! Sassy.

And the snake skin shoes in #7 add lots of pizazz!

Mirjana

SISI, thank you, I hesitated to post #1, not sure if it works and I am glad uou like it.
DEE, yes, what can I do.
JOY, thank you for the kind comment.
Thank you STAR for loving them.

Thank you sooo much ANGIE. My favorite is also #6. I tried no 1 with light blue relaxed jeans and didn't like it so decided with mom and I am glad that works. I have had no luck with olive pants so far snd now I really like these.

rachylou

Good stuff! #1 may be my favourite.

Glamorous minimalism! Awesome inspirational outfits. Love that cinnamon suede jacket

Jonesy

Very elegant fall looks!

Jaime

These are all elegant, casual, very chic looks. I am very inspired on your take on the earth colors with silver shoes formula. Delightful as ever to see them all!

Indigoprint

Oh my you look so Fab in everything. You have got your style nailed!

Carol

I was a teen in the 90s, and somehow following fashion really well. The supermodel era, I guess. I remember how important Calvin Klein was. I split the cost of CK jeans with my mom (no way would she pay $60!), and they are still the best jeans I ever had.

RACHYLOU thank you, I am glad you like #1, it would be the most wearable outfit this season as I can wear red boots instead of pumps.
Thank you JONESY and INDIGOPRINT, very appreciated.
JAIME, thank you I appreciate very much your kind words. I also like silver shoes with brown and black, lighten the outfit.
CAROL, you are so sweet remembered me for that time, yes it was really the supermodel era, they were the most popular, more than any actress. I watched almost every day Fashion channel to get an inspiration.

Janet

You always look so polished and lovely! Yes, I can see how these are more minimalist than your usual but still “you” — I do the same. If I go too minimal I feel unfinished.

Thank you JANET. I absolutely agree and feel the same unfinished. But I can say that I didn't wear jewelry '90s, or very rarely and didn't feel unfinished. Ah, different ages!

slim cat

Very nice! I love #1 and #7 looks, and you wear black (#5-6 ) "your way" exactly the way I prefer to wear ( with colors and fun accessories ) .
Bright silver shoes and bag in #2-3 are so fab that I wish for one ( or
two ) extra chains in the same color mixed with your gold necklace - maybe it's just my love of silver.
Your outfits are always so polished and put together - a pleaser see!

Olive Green

I love you in a column of black with add ons. So easy, and very elegant with your hair and posture.

Love that jean memory CAROL. My Dad pick out some CK jeans for me ad. Christmas present when I was a teen . Best jeans ever!

Firecracker (Sharan)

Your style is so elegant, Mirjana. These are all beautiful outfits on you. I like your version of minimalism featuring dark neutrals. I'm with Angie--I am wowed by the black outfit with the scarf and bag. It is lovely on its own, reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn, and the scarf with the bag just elevated it further. In the last outfit with the khaki green; I like how the necklace and shoes draw the neutrals together.

SLIM CAT, I appreciate the kind words. I love silver too and good idea to mix with gold necklace. I could try next time.
OLIVE GREEN and INDIGOPRINT thank you kindly.
FIRECRACKER, thank you for a such detailed comment. It's always a pleasure to read it. I have always loved Audrey Hepburn style and I am glad if I did something similar, great compliment for me.
