WIW: Olive and black

JAileen

Veteran

These are things I wear a lot, just not usually together. Black is part of my Scottie capsule, and olive is one of my favorite colors.

Jacket - Talbots
Jeans - Eileen Fisher
Top - Charter Club (Macy’s)
Shoes - Blondo
Bag - Coach (Vintage)
Necklace - ?

The necklace shows a lunar eclipse. I regret not wearing it when we witnessed the eclipse a few years ago. I have matching earrings, but that seemed too much, somehow. The last picture shows how nicely the Talbots jacket was finished. I bought this jacket four years ago and have worn it a lot.

You look terrific in this outfit. I like each and every element you have on. Also very impressed by the bound seams, and the unique necklace.

Great outfit, JAileen. I like olive with black and white and your necklace. We were black EF jeans twins when I could still wear jeans. I wear my EF pull on pants a lot and have EF white pull on jeans yet.
You look fabulous. The jacket is perfect for cool spring weather.

Beautiful jacket, and great oufit, JAileen! I love how the necklace picks up the colours of your top, and how the white soles on your sneakers also echo the white in the top.

You had me at black and white stripes, JAileen. But throw in that eclipse necklace the the olive jacket and I'm more than a wee bit over the moon! GREAT combo!!

Cat2, thank you.

ChristelJ, thank you. I showed the seams to show what Angie mentioned on her Talbots jacket thread. I’ve I worn this one a lot these past four years.

Joy, thank you. I’m sorry you can’t wear jeans anymore. But you look good in everything you wear.

Inge, thank you. I just love these shoes. They are very comfy, and waterproof, too. It looks like Blondo has discontinued them.

CarolS, over the moon! Hahaha! Thank you.

Rachy, thank you. My husband gave the necklace to me for our anniversary a few years ago.

Bonnie, thank you. I have this top in several iterations. I especially like the boatneck and curved hem.

Mainelady, thank you. I haven’t worn the necklace much, but I really should.

Nikki, out of this world! Hahaha! Thank you.

Merwoman, thank you. That’s a very good point. I should mix things up more often.

Lana, thank you. We went to see the eclipse a few years ago and it would have been a perfect occasion to wear this necklace and I forgot it.

Jaime, thank you.

Slim Cat, merci beaucoup!

Kelly, thank you. These shoes are just so comfy. I hope Blondo brings them back.

Janet, thank you, I will.

Robin, thank you. These utility jackets are just perfect for me - lots of pockets and a step up from a hoodie.

Star, thank you.

Catherine, thank you. I know I’m not cool, but thanks for saying so.

Angie, thank you. These years on YLF have changed my eye and also my husband's. I ask him, “is this too busy?” “No,” he replies. Thank you for all you do. ❤️

Brooklyn, thank you. I love the jacket, but really haven’t worn the necklace much. I’ll try to keep it in mind when I’m putting together an outfit.
