WIW : Volume

Hi Ladies,

Another chilly day in the land of Aus!

Felt like a change today so I wore my 'business' pants lol.  These are a very slightly flared and wider leg pant that I normally wear.  They would be part of my more conservative business capsule... if I had one :)  

A pointed toe would be ideal, but I don't have a boot with a pointed toe so I just wore my highest heeled ankle boots.  Layered a white Cos shirt over the pants and then a Metalicus cropped sweater over the blouse.

Silver and pearl earrings and a leather brooch. 

The brooch was a gift from a friend who 'inherited' it with her favourite aunt's belongings, after the aunt passed away earlier this year.  My friend had no real use for it and I was thrilled to receive it.  It's right up my alley so to speak:)  I looks like a crumpled piece of leather and really appealed to me.  I generally like to wear it on black!?

Anyway, I realise this is perhaps not overly conventionally flattering but I really did feel good in it.  I don't think it is as boxy in real life as there is some movement in the items, and I was complimented on my outfit today at work... always nice:)

#2 shows my black trench with white tipping.  Again, I feel this looks better IRL.

So have I strayed too far from flattering?  

Thanks for your thoughts.  
xxx Deborah

    You look great, and if you felt happy in it then that is the main thing!

    The brooch is wonderful, and what a lovely gift.

    You look great, Deb! The volume is just right with the addition of the black cropped sweater to the outfit. You always look stunning in black & white, and today is no exception. I think this outfit IS quite FLATTERING.

    That's a really unique brooch! I love it!

    Yes, unique jewelry is the best!
    I like the structure that the white border on your coat adds too.

    Yes, I think it works Deb. I really like the proportions and your brooch is great. The white tipping on your coat is a nice touch picking up on your shirt.

    I like it too.

    The brooch looks great and I particularly like that it's a similar tone to your jumper. The trench is fab with it's white trim!

    Thank you ladies:)

    My trench doesn't get a lot of wear.  I often feel it's to classic for me but I haven't been able to part with it.  At various times it seems to be the right coat:)  It's a satin fabric and quite dressy so has been a good topper for weddings and special occasions :)
