WIW Oldies outfit 4 straight bronze trousers

Today’s oldie is a pair of straight wide full lenght trousers in bronze colour made by an Italian brand D.Exterior. I have had them six years. Like wearing them a lot, unfortunately will have to let them go soon.

Today, I wore them to work with a black thin wool jacket, black boots, bright yellow classic silk patterned scarf and my new thrifted bronze handbag plus a pair of huge vintage Dior sunnies. Easy and comfy outfit. Shown in the last pic.

I also put together an outfit with my new charity shop find - a gingham wool jacket. The jacket has large shoulder pads and, based on the shape and pattern, I think it’s from the eighties. I really like it’s vintage vibe.

I combined the jacket with the yellow silk scarf and added some large brooch and two strass bracelets. Huge green vintage sunnies, my thrifted bag, the oldies trousers and black boots and top. Tried to make a retro vintage vibe here. It was fun playing, but wonder if it is possible to wear it like this or if it is too much.

What do you guys think of my two outfits? Is the retro outfit too much or can I wear it? Grateful for honest feedback, comments, ideas and whatever comes to mind.

I LOVE that gingham jacket,and the outfit that you have created with it is gorgeous.Why do you have to get rid of those trousers if you like them so much?They look good to me.

The Cat

Oh, you can absolutely wear both outfits, Katerina. (Is there anything you can't wear? ) Elegant styling, as always.

Katerina

Thank you Cardiff girl very much for the lovely compliments. Unfortunately, the trousers are getting quite worn out. I think it will be difficult to find this colour and shape again now.

I say yes, both outfit are great. Katerina you really know how to dress and can style it perfect, elegant and polished. I especially love gingham blazer.

Katerina, you can wear whatever you want and pull it off with confidence and style. I do have a preference for the outfit you wore today, though.

Great looks as usual- one fun, one comfy- well done.
That bag has already earned its keep- wonderful!

The gingham checked jacket is stunning and I quite like the outfit you've created around it. I'm not a vintage wearer , but it looks really chic in a European way. I might change out the bag to something smaller and more structured.....

KILLER all round. Your unique style is a visual treat, sweet Katerina. You look beautiful, professional, polished and playful every day. Current, vintage, retro, classic and trendy ALL at once.

I LOVE the gingham jacket with the lemon scarf. Sooo delicious.

Joy

The gingham jacket outfit is my favorite of the two. You look wonderful, professional and polished in this retro look. I hope that you can find a replacement for the trousers. They look fab with your new bag and yellow scarf.

Another pair of fab outfits, Katerina, you have a very unique style. I specially like the outfit with the gingham jacket.

Sal

Gorgeous both of them - polished and retro and the details are fantastic. Shame that the trousers are wearing out but they have obviously been well loved.

Bonnie

You look beautiful and perfectly put together in these outfit.

How is this classic but also trendy at the same time! Well done! Great jacket.

Jaime

Love the gingham jacket - I like that outfit even better than the one you wore (which was very good also!).

Thank you ALL very much for looking and for the feedback and kind words.

This checked jacket is unusual for me and I was not sure about the jewelry and sunnies etc. - there is a fine line between unique and costumey. I am glad you like my new second hand find.

Jenn, thank you for the feedback, much appreciated. I value your opinion.

Lisa P., thank you for the suggestion, I was actually thinking the same when I looked at the pictures - a smaller structured bag would look better with the outfit. Will try other bags.

Amy Isabella

You ALWAYS look amazing Katerina and I absolutely LOVE the jacket! I have a tweed hacking jacket with a very similar pattern - I think will have to take it out of hibernation ...

Bijou

Outfit #1 is stunning and definitely not too much, although I am a maximalist at heart. Outfit #2 is also gorgeous, but #1 is my favourite especially as you have the perfect scarf to wear it with.

Thank you very much Amy Isabella and Bijou for the kind words.
