The scroll print shorts in my last post kind of inspired my outfit yesterday. I can't wear shorts in January (sorry Gayle) but I can certainly wear a similar color combo of navy and yellow/gold. I was going through my winter pants, or should I say through my collection of winter cafe capris since it seems that the new definition of pants is cafe capri, and I stumbled across a pair that I am very fond of and I should wear more often, the cropped wool crepe pants (ancestors of the cafe capris, only better) in bronzed twig. Bronzed twig is like a day version of gold, a bit more green and without the shine, so I grabbed a navy sweater and my TB suede Revas in navy (BTW, as you know I am a fan of Tory and the Revas but I don't recommend the suede ones, they are VERY delicate. Love the color though!) I also finaly broke out my new coat, so far it has been too cold to wear it (it isn't a very warm coat to start with but we had frigid temperatures, especially last week), which is navy with golden buttons as you know (and the buttons are very similar to the logo medallion of the Revas):
I had mentioned that the coat has a golden piping inside:
As you can see I am also wearing a medallion necklace. Actually it is a coin and I had promised you to tell you more about it and its cousin (I have another one) but it is a very long story and it deserves a post on its own. I will tell you the story soon, I promise!
This reminds me that I wore a similar version of this outfit (same colors) in the Fall and never got to post the pics, I think, so here you go. Instead of the coat I was wearing the Acadamy stripe schoolboy from last year, same necklace, bronzed twig cowlneck tee and jeans (plus TB Sallies open toes). I LOVED this outfit:
I got a lot of compliments on the coat at school and I felt very well dressed. As a reminder the coat is on sale for $329
here (only the camel is left but I am sure the navy will popback and it should still be in the stores).
Have a great one!
Love this! I wish I still had my bronze twig silk skirt - it ended up stained (the story of my life with silk skirts!) and is no more! Great colour ideas! I really like these! I might steal one of these looks as i have not worn my gold velvet cowlneck top from Joe Fresh and i think I could continue to wear it in January under a jacket! great looks!
ReplyDeleteI have that skirt (actually a gift from a friend JCA) but I can barely fit in it! I have a lot of bronzed twig, I love thoze tones. Yes your JF cowlneck would look great with navy jacket, it is a very similar color!
DeleteI owned the forever(or infinity)cardigan in bronzed twig and never knew what colors to pair with it.I finally sold it last year,but i really like the idea to combine it with navy!
ReplyDeleteina, I tried that sweater but it was too long and I never bought it. I am glad I didn't because I am a bit over the long cardigan thing!
DeleteEma, thanks for the heads-up on the suede Revas as only have tumbled leather and was wondering. Glad you are getting to wear your new coat and look forward to medallion post.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it's this color in particular but the suede get marked very easily. The first time that I wore them they looked like old shoes by EOD and I didn't go that far or in any water.
Deleteloving the necklace...
