I really wanted to participate and already planned to wear this outfit today. But things happened and I am in my loungewear today.
I started with my oldest find, elie tahari jacket from arround 2005, one of the first things I bought after moving to Vienna. Black wool flannel pants are from Ralph Lauren Collection, from 2007, but first time worn in 2019. I bought them just before getting pregnant with my DD and they were sitting with the tags still on all those years. Sweater is Hobbs that I got in London when visiting my son, about 3 years ago. Sneakers are Ecco from this year, bag is coccinelle, 5 years old, and still in perfect condition even though is white and is my most worn bag.
Maybe I will get chance to wear this outfit soon.

You are going to look fabulous when you wear it. These are great pieces that really compliment each in interesting ways.

I want to see you in this outfit! Keep it in mind, for when next you are out and about. Take care, and stay safe, Anchie.

Thanks Runcarla, Joy and Star.
I am bored tonight since we have to stay in, so I tried the outfit to see if it works. Jacket has silver threads that are not visible in photo but think it will go well with silver sneakers.

FABULOUS! The stripes and tweed are smashing with your hair, anchie.

I'd finish you off with my red boots....

Thanks all.
Angie - I do have similar boots - see finds - but unfortunately I still can’t wear them comfortably. Maybe red sneakers are needed?

YES! Red sneaks FTW.

I have those 2 pairs in my cart for a while now, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet. I am not sure if they are too much, and that more streamlined pair would be more appropriate for work.
I do miss having red shoes.

I think try some less athletic sneakers too. Compare vibes, and go with the one you like best!

Angie - thanks for the feedback. This is what I ordered, i decided on high tops as better replacement for booties.

lisa p - I just ordered 4 pairs of shoes with Amazon Prime Wardrobe. Those red are ara brand (model is Rome) - it seems that they are available in Canada.
I also ordered Gabor (white), FlyLondon ( burgundy) and Fitflop (navy).

I am down to 2 pairs of winter shoes that I can wear now, so I hope some of those will work.

Wow ! I like all 4 pair that you’ve ordered ! I don’t see your red hi tops on the US or Cdn site but I did see a pair that I’ve noticed on a woman I see regularly at work and have been admiring ! Good to know where they came from . The selection on their site is very minimal here and in the US .

Great outfit! I hope either the red or burgundy shoes work out for you as I agree this would really work to take this outfit into orbit!!

Such a classic “you” look, even without your usual colors. Cheers from another member of the “keep the tags on for years (kttofy)” club! The way the rings around the collar and cuffs echo the stripes on the sweater is clever & fun. The pop of color in the shoes will be cool too. Sorry to hear the foot troubles continue/are back.

Gorgeous, your bag is divine!
