What a fun trip! You look great in those jeans — I like them much better on you than on me. I think they look best on someone like you who looks good in tucked tops.

notsaf

love the trench and cream sweater!

catherine

You look great in those jeans.
I’m from Duluth, Minnesota. I did a triple take when I saw #5!

nemosmom

Those jeans look great on you! I could see how they work beautifully with your tops. That shade of olive is so pretty on you, but you rock beige like no one else!

Suz

Those jeans are terrific on you! Love you in that trench (of course!) and the new oatmeal sweater is also beautiful. Looks like it was a fun trip!

Angie

SO fun on you, sweet Style Fan! I especially adore the vibe with the sneakers - #2 and #3.

KILLER oatmeal pullover!

You have such a great wardrobe which is so perfect for your style. I really admire your careful selection of pieces that stay in your wardrobe for years (and envy your ability to maintain weight and body shape over the years too). Such a classic, yet modern and chic look . Love it all .

Bonnie

Your new sweater and pants work perfectly with your wardrobe. That sounds like a fun weekend trip.

Firecracker (Sharan)

I love your outfits with the new jeans! They look like a perfect fit, and very true to your style. I really like your cropped olive cardigan--this is a silhouette that I'm keeping an eye out for right now.

Mirjana

You look great in those jeans . I love the trench and cream sweater.

Thank you for the wonderful feedback!
Janet, I thought you rocked the jeans but it is all about comfort level. It was a fun trip and a nice break from our routine.
Notsaf, thank you. My trench coat has seen a lot of action.
Catherine, you may have known this that Bob Dylan is from Duluth.
Nemosmom, thank you. Olive green is at least 70% of my wardrobe and beige is well represented.
Suz, the trip was fun. I could have spent more time in Kensington Market. The sweater comes in other colours. Hmmmm.
Angie, the sneaker look is big in Toronto. The sweater was a hit with Mr SF. The buttons bump it up a notch. It comes in olive green.
Thank you Lisa! I have some pieces that have stuck around but some that I have let go. I have gotten better at picking winners.
Thanks Bonnie!
Firecracker, the olive green cardigan was almost donated. I rarely wore it. It was too cropped for most of my jeans but now that the rise has gotten higher it works. I am glad I hung on to it.
Thank you, Mirjana!

Jaime

Every outfit look great! Your white tee looks impeccable after 2+ years! New oatmeal sweater is gorgeous!

Katerina

The new jeans look great on you and I love all the outfits - as usual. You have fantastic style!
I love all the items here too, both the new ones and the older pieces. And how good you kept the cardi - perfect with the new jeans.

Shevia, thank you! I am very happy with the oatmeal sweater. I bought 2 of the Caslon ivory T-shirts but they really are on their last wears. I would like to get some more but Nordstroms doesn't seem to stock that colour or it sells out before I can buy it.
Katerina, yes I am very glad I kept the cardigan. It works so well with the jeans.

Brooklyn

Fabulous SF. I’m coming for that ombré sweater...

kkards

Sounds like a great weekend. Love all the looks, but the one with the ombré sweater is my fav

RobinF

Sounds like a lot of fun! Great outfits, love the olive sweater and the cream sweater. The jeans work great for you.

Brooklyn, I would love to see you but I am hanging on to my sweater. I remember how much you love ombre.
Kkards, thank you. The ombre sweater is a favourite of mine.
Thank you, RobinF. I am glad I kept the olive sweater.

Get the olive green pullover too!

My favorite is the one with the olive sweater- glad you kept it!

Angie, you are a wise woman.
Suntiger, I am glad I kept it too.
I was not expecting so much love for the olive green sweater outfit. I almost didn't post it.

Cardiff girl

The wide legs look fab on you and that trench coat is so chic.

Thank you, Cardiff Girl!

smittie

You look fab!
Love that new sweater too!

Jenni NZ

I just love, love, love how long you can keep the stuff and how great it looks! I remember your vintage Pucci fringed jacket you posted some time back. Your selections seem so good. I am aiming to be similar. I cannot fit much that is earlier than about 2007 as that is when my weight jumped up, although a small number of sweaters and cardigans still fit from earlier than that which I am keeping.
I am another who loves the tones of the trench and the new sweater.

Thank you, Smittie! I am pretty happy with my new sweater.
Jenni, thank you so much for your kind feedback. I try to be careful when purchasing clothes. My fringe jacket was such an exciting addition to my wardrobe as a teenager.

The jeans are perfect, Style Fan, and all three tops are really good with them.

Sounds like you had a wonderful time!

Jane

It sounds like a perfect weekend. I love the sweaters but the ombré one especially. Your trench looks immaculate. 14 years is very good!
