WIW in June-July

Irina

Veteran

The weather has been all over the place. I wore my summer things as well as light jackets and blazers.
#1-2 Double breasted blazers are not my friends but I love this linen fabric.

#3 Sorry, my legs and feet look so weird

In #5 I’m wearing 7! years old Zara jacket, one of the oldest pieces I have in my wardrobe.

In #10-11I wear COS glass earrings I bought to wear with this Marimekko dress. It was their only outing- I promptly dropped one at my hairdresser’s and it broke. So sad…
I had to recreate #13-15, sometimes I forgot to take pictures! I wore #13 to my grandson’s first birthday and the black COS linen dress in #14-15 out for lunch.

Thank you for looking. All suggestions and comments are welcome.

How does jacket in #2 look over dress in #10?

KILLER all round, Irina! I love your Summer style! The light neutrals, colours and white are just. so. pretty.

Summer dressing is glorious!!! Much more variety.

CUTE POSES!!!

You and double breasted blazers look very friendly to me!

7 year old Zara jacket looks new! They DO make excellent jackets.

Glass earrings are awesome! Sad one broke. You have gorgeous skin and eyes.

#1, 3, 9, 10, 13 and 15 are my rocking faves!

The dainty cream flats and earrings in #15 absolutley MAKE the look to my eye. I adore the way the black is broken up in a pretty and playful way!

Ooh nice! I love the top in #12 and the fabulous dresses!

Actually, I'm thinking jacket over dress in #3.

I love all of these outfits. The earrings in pic 3 &15 look interesting. You have such a knack for nailing your style. I agree with Angie regarding the last outfit. Just superb.

Irina

Veteran

Thank you, Angie and RobynF!
Vildy, I don't know - I don't like blazers over dresses so I never try.

I think 9, 12 and 15 are my favourites, but I really love all of them. Just had another detailed look

Always nice proportions in your style. I see that big prints are now a fun addition to your look too, as well as some colourful footwear when your outfit is mostly neutral. You’ve got a great handle on your style Irina, love it!

Wow, you are looking fabulous! I can see why you love the fabric of that blazer -- it is sensational! What is it? (She says, greedily). Longer blazers are not my friends, either but the style and plaid linen remind me of a Vuokko blazer I had in the late 80s....

Love the Zara jacket!! It's great on you. I, too, have great luck with Zara jackets and find that many of them last well beyond their anticipated expire date because the styles don't date.

Such a shame about the glass earring. Maybe the sole earring can become a pendant now? Or you can find a replacement?

I have said this before, but you have stellar taste. I would love to come over and browse through your closet. And I don't mean that in a creepy way! If I had to pick a favorite, it would be number five. The cut and color of that jacket is so perfect over black.

Irina

Star, Dee and Suz - thank you! I love summer clothes!
Suz, that blazer is linen, from Massimo Dutti. It’s a few years old and was also available as a part of a suit with shorts! One of the very rare occasions when I regretted not being into shorts. But not enough to buy them
I don’t know what to do with an earring yet. I bought it last winter and it’s not available anymore. I should check eBay, though.

Roberta, thanks and you are welcome to come and visit my closet
#5 is actually dark navy or ink, one of the common colors at COS (both pieces, a merino t-shirts and light weight wool pants are by COS).

Perfect summer style -suits you to a t! Love all the looks with special mentioning of pic #1, #3, #6, #10-12! Fab all around .
What about wearing the lonely glass earring with simple small gold hoop in the other ear - as an intentional mismatch?

LJP

Veteran

Such crisp and defined style . I love love love the Zara jacket , and the dress in #10 is lovely and unexpectedly soft and feminine . Is it a Marimekko too ? And do I spy another Bao Bao there??

Irina

Veteran

Slim cat and LJP, thanks!
Slim cat, I thought about mismatch earrings but maybe because one earring is large it will too much out of balance for me.
LJP, yes, #10 is by Marimekko. This was my first Marimekko item. #3 & 12 are this year Marimekko buys.

And also yes to the second question that is my second Bao.

Vildy

I love how you have these developed clear views - example knowing you don't like blazers paired with dresses. That's why you have such a marveloous peronalized look!

The Cat

Veteran

Great style all around! You look stunning in your Marimekko items.

I got stuck on number 1. The loafers are really soft looking, the faded jeans are a soft colour, and the blazer has a little sharpness to it. Really nice outfit.

madeline

Love all the outfits, but I have a soft spot for Marimekko. As far as the earring,
you might have some luck on Etsy or a local jeweler that could create a partner for the single earring you have left.
A similar or complementary design might work. Mismatch earrings are current without being too trendy.

Style Fan

Fabulous outfits! I love the first one. The blazer looks so good with the jeans.
I have some single earrings and often wonder what to do with them.

Irina

Veteran

Vildy, The Cat, Olive Green, madeline, Style Fan - thanks!
I don’t wear often that blazer but I love to put it on once in a while.

These are all so Fab. I need to take notes.
I love the simplicity of them but so stylish.
Well done!

Your wiws are always such a treat. Great style in every one of these. I am very fond of the prints especially, and the dress in #3 is standing out to me. I also love the shapes you choose in the solids. #9 is one of my favorites; I am partial to the really fun sleeves.

Brooklyn

Veteran

You have such lovely style. No 12 is my favourite. Sorry about the earrings, they are very unique!

Irina

Veteran

Indigoprint, ChristelJ, Brooklyn - thanks!
ChistelJ, that black button down shirt is my favorite shirt. The sleeves are interesting indeed - they are not attached but rather cut from the same piece of fabric.

Such gorgeous looks Irina! I like how the Marimekko looks and Bao Bao bags serve as striking signatures over your well chosen more neutral, less statement pieces. I like every outfit and the whole is even greater than the parts.

Can’t pick my favorite- so many great outfits. I love your style.

All gorgeous and I love how Marrimekko prints and Bao Bao bags work in your wardrobe. Helena said it well, as the queen of minimalistic chic.
