WIW: Back to work boring...

catgirl

Yesterday: Theory dress, Michael Kors blazer, Gidigio boots
Today: Really old blazer, thrifted Express black pants, Nordstrom tank

The olive jacket I'm wearing today was a gift from my dad when I graduated from law school. It's some expensive Italian brand and still fits. It has shell buttons. Does it look dated or can it still work?

Love #1 and don't find it boring at all!

The olive jacket I feel could go either way. I think it may look fresh with trendier items than a shell and wide legs. Maybe with your slouchy J. Crew trousers or the military harem pants and a super bright top?

1= super love.
2= I think it needs skinnies.

I think you look in both outfits and don't find either of them boring. I like the olive jacket and think it's still current. Like most things, it just depends on how you style it.

Love the olive jacket and the way you've styled it. The jacket and trousers hang beautifully and are appropriate for one another in terms of fabric weights. In fact, I like #2 better than #1, which I also love.

I find the boots in #1 not as polished a look as I'm used to from you - more something I'd do. Hehe.

I would love to see the jacket in 2 with your prairie underground shirt and skinnies and boots.

Rachy, did you just call me *polished*? LOL! The boots are there to add some RATEness... apparently they did the job!

I appreciate the feedback so far - I'm finding it hard to dress for work again, involving actual clients and meetings and court...

Two great looks in one post. I love how you incorporate your UWP with the boots in 1. #2 is just plain sleek. It's interesting because of the pattern and the use of color (not just black.) I really like both--they both seem like you.

I love 1 but if I'm honest I do find the jacket in 2 dated. It's lovely ...but..I can't put my finger on it, something to do with the cut identifies it as not being that current. The outfit does look good. But if you are questioning the jacket perhaps you know it's time to pass it on?
