WIW my favorite formula and new trench coat

Hello friends,
Today I worked from the office and I had a nice lunch with a former colleague. I wore a very comfortable and for me typical outfit formula - simple wool trousers with boots, silky top, leather jacket and a scarf. The leather jacket served the purpose of a blazer, I wore it indoors, which I often do. For outerwear I used the new dark olive trench coat, today without the warm down removable jacket.
The trousers and the blouse (not visible here) are very dark navy, the boots are black. Navy large bag and pistachio green leather jacket.

I wore one of my favorite scarfs - a vintage Moschino. I bought it second hand about 20 years ago and I can imagine that it was about ten years old then. It is reversible silk. I don’t wear it very often, I don’t want to ruin it, it is one of my special scarves.

I am very into greens this season - pistachio and olive are favorites at the moment.

Comments, feedback and styling advice are much welcome. Have a nice weekend!

Loving the bob with the short bangs.

Very rich greens in layers …so good.

I love the pistachio with navy, and Yes this coat looks as good as I knew it would. YLF!

b111 - thanks. I cut my hair into a bob last January after many, many years of having long straight hair with blunt bangs. I have not regretted it yet.

Thanks, Star!

You had me at green! I love outfit, the fun and favored scarf, the color palette. It all looks fab on you.

Pirouette, thank you!

Thank you, Sharan!

I love this - the colours are interesting and subtle and the scarf is a fun touch. Your hair does look great - love the bob.

Great look - the scarf is truly special!

Sal and slim cat, thanks!

That pistachio green (or sage?) color is gorgeous on you! And it pairs nicely with the light colors in the scarf, although my favorite feature of the scarf is the smiley face, what a fun detail.

You inspire me to get out my scarves more often (when our weather cools enough to wear them, not sure when that will happen. It was 80F today!) I have a Hermes scarf that really should not sit in a box as often as it does. I need to brainstorm how to wear this scarf with my casual, sporty outfits. Hmm...

How fun that you swapped a blazer for a leather jacket! And then layered the trench over the whole ensemble, brilliant layering here. And *high five* for putting the new outlet trench to use right away! I am also on team "wear right away."

I am also a fan of greens this season, I've worn my olive trousers and jackets a lot this fall. The olive color has really helped me feel like "fall" even though our weather is still quite warm and it pairs so nicely with navy blue (a core color of my wardrobe).

Oh, and if you have ivory trousers, I think they would be lovely paired with the pistachio jacket.

Lisa, thank you very much for the kind comments. I am glad you feel inspired to wear your scarves more. An Hermes should definitely not just sit in its box. I wear scarves with litteraly everything. I am a collector as well and have a huge number of them. I have collected for my whole life - hence the number. If your Hermes is 90x90 cm, you can tie it in so many ways to make the scarf more or less of a statement. It will look great also with a very casual outfit. One of the nicest ways to wear a classic scarf is with a t-shirt and jeans. I am not good at very casual outfits, but I wear a classic silk scarf with graphic sweatshirts and jeans and I like the mix..

Your olive items look fabulous. I like the first jacket especially.

I have a pair of cream pants - thank you for the suggestion!

Bonnie

Love this outfit! That scarf is perfect with your greens and black.

Rock

That is the scarf of my dreams, and you wear it well.

Joy

Love greens and this outfit. I need olive or spring sour greens and they are hard to find olive shoes or socks.

Katerina - Yes, one of the Hermes scarves is a 90cm, it's the Parures de Samouraïs from 2017 in various blues and pinks. That size is very easy to tie in different ways.

I also have a Tiger Royale Pocket Square from 2008 that I never figured out what to do with because it's small. At one point I tried to tie it around my handbags but it never stayed put, same for around the neck.

I like your idea to pair scarves with t-shirts or sweatshirts and jeans. My style is very casual but that doesn't mean my scarves have to sit unworn. I have some brainstorming to do. Thanks for getting my creative juices whirling.

Fun scarf! I see why you treasure it. And great outfit - the leather jacket is a fantastic blazer alternative.

Bonnie, Rock, Joy and Jamie, thank you for looking and the lovely comments.

Lisa, I look forward to what you come up with. Knowing your style it will be fabulous!

I wear pocket square format sometimes around my neck. Here are some old pick of old outfits with pockate square.

You look KILLER FAB from top to toe, Katerina! Your outfit formulas always look chic, and the signature scarves add extra pizazz! Those off-kilter greens love you right back, and so does the awesome new trench

Angie, thank you, you are so kind! Your comment made my day.

Katerina - Thanks for including your pocket square outfits. They add a nice visual detail to the neckline.

Thanks Lisa
