WIW Burgundy pants with black and a touch of bronze

Hello everyone,

so I have put the burgundy pants from the weekend post in rotation as I promised. However, I did not wear the outfit I prepared, but put together another one. It was a little funny how it happened. I planned on wfh most of the day. Then something urgent came up and I had to go to the office earlier than planned. I was in a bit of a hurry. Not the panicky kind, but still not so much time to plan an outfit properly. I grabbed the burgundy pants (they were hanging on a rack), a black blouse and a dark grey blazer (also hanging on a rack). Then I quickly reached for a scarf that would work with the pants. Took a burgundy-pink-brown-bronze animal print number by Roberto Cavalli. Looked in the mirror - something was not quite right…. And then an idea came. A large bronze metallic bag to give the outfit some punch and to pick up the color from the scarf. I like the result. I think the combination is a little bold and a little fun. I added burgundy sunglasses to wear in the hair and my accidental outfit was done

What do you guys think?
Have you also made a new outfit in a hurry by accident sometime?

That bag is the perfect finishing touch and ties into the scarf so well. Your in a hurry outfit is lovely!

And yes, I have certainly put together a favorite combination in a hurry in the past. Sometimes a rush decision produces the best outfits!

Thank you, Lisa!

Looking sharp and fab, Katerina! The bronze bag addition is KILLER awesome! Complements the scarf beautifully. A spontaneous winning look.

Remix the burgundy pants with a red blazer

Oh, thank you Angie! And thank you for the idea. I have three red blazers, one slightly oversized coral red, one classic tailored tomato red and a red wool shorter jacket. It will be fun to see if any of them works. Maybe, these pants will become a favorite thanks to you

You look calm, cool and collected in your hurried, and fabulous, outfit! Sometimes a hurried decision makes me do something a bit riskier that I would talk myself out of it I had more time. So a good thing?

Thank you, Jamie! You’re right

Star

Fab! I want that bag :). Yes sometimes time restraints promote creativity. Love Angie's idea of a red blazer with these trousers.

Your scarf and bag game is on point! Ties it all together!

Dee

Perfectly polished and professional looking. Looks intentional and no one will know that you'll pulled it all together last minute.
Its funny how sometimes when we're in a rush some outfts just come together instinctively.

Very nice! I like the pops of color and shine given by the scarf and the handbag. I think that with your wardrobe full of beautiful pieces you could dress with closed eyes and the result would be great.
I am sure I have done something like that in the past but now I do not remember the details.

I think you had a goal of using more of your bags? If so, this is a terrific instance of that. Glad it’s working. I hang what I think I am going to wear in outfits on a closet rail. They are often combinations I haven’t tried before, so that can make for some last minute rummaging around if the pieces don’t work like I thought they would. I also keep the shoes I think I am going to wear that month in a small shoe rack near the back door; we don’t do shoes inside. So that can result in some last ,minute racketing around if what I have staged there isn’t what I need.

Thank you, Star! Metallic bags are nice to have in a wardrobe. They are easy components to add interest to an outfit.

Robin, thank you!

Dee, thank you!

Sisi, thank you! I have a large accessory wardrobe, because I seldom let go of any scarf, bags or sunglasses. I love it this way, but there is a risk of getting overwhelmed. I usually need to plan my outfits and do my try on sessions to be prepared

cat2, thank you! Yes, I try to use more of my bags, especially the colorful ones. Your system sounds great. Do you do this for an upcoming month also with clothes or other period?

Kate

Perfect finishing touch, Katerina!

Thank you, Kate!

Beautiful outfit! I think being able to pull an outfit together quickly is both a benefit and a sign of a well functioning wardrobe. Nicely done!

Thank you, Sharan! My wardrobe is functioning rather well now, it is in a good place actually. It took a few years to get here. There is always a room for improvement, though …
