Old & New

Mixing old & new wardrobe pieces turned out to be the perfect outfit for my winter engagement in the Tivoli Garderns of Copenhagen, Denmark.

Old & New

I hope everyone is enjoying the last few days of 2017!! I wanted to dedicate this post to breaking down the outfit I was PROPOSED to in & why it was so special!!

When I initially picked out & planned this outfit, I knew I wanted to wear it on Christmas. I didn’t know what our plans were or where we would be. I just KNEW that I would wear this outfit. A couple weeks before I left the states, my mom cleaned out her closet & so kindly gifted me with so many of her STUNNING European designer pieces from when she worked & lived overseas.

Not only was I thrilled about receiving everything, but I was really excited to start mixing my own clothes with these more vintage & classic looking pieces.

Mixing old & new.

I have seen so many looks recently that incorporate a wide leg, high waisted trouser, & until now, I haven’t owned a pair of pants that fit that description. My mom sent me these stunning olive green MaxMara pants, as well as a few others, & I couldn’t love them more.

The fit is exceptional.

I find pants to be extremely slimming when they fit properly, that includes, the width, height, waistline, & hem. Although these were hers, they fit me like a glove. I am also loving deep greens & browns, especially during cold winter weather. I think it gives a look of the holiday season without trying too hard.

This white ruffled H&M blouse is from my own closet & I thought the off-white really complemented the deep colors going on in rest of my outfit. The fabric was light & airy, complete with a keyhole back, which I love, because it gives it that girly flare. Unfortunately, this shirt is not currently in my possession, housekeeping at the hotel mistook it for a towel.

**UPDATE.. They found it & it was returned!**

Old & New

Now onto the coat!

Especially this year, I have grown to really love long pea coats. This deep green Sportmax pea coat was also my moms. I vividly remember her wearing this coat when we lived overseas. Although both the pants & coat were a similar green tone, I did not feel that they overpowered one another. The off-white blouse helped to break up the darkness & gave a really clean & polished look.

The belt is Calvin Klein & was also my moms.

I love the daintiness of the gold buckle & I think this helped pull the look together. I completed the look with a black boot with a slightly pointed toe & square heel from Public Desire& a black crossbody from Tory Burch. This is a great bag for really crowed places & traveling in general. It stays right at your side and I wore mine inside my coat, just for added protection. The gold accents of the purse also complemented the gold and black belt well.

Old & New

Wearing these pieces that my mom gave to me, was incredibly special. I loved mixing a little old & new. Not only was it my first Christmas away from my family, but I got engaged & obviously my family wasn’t there. I’m usually not sentimental, but wearing pieces that I’ve seen my mom wear while I was growing up, is something I cherish. It was really special to have a piece of family with me during such a life-changing moment.

Shop a similar look!

Best wishes to everyone, as we enter the New Year, wishing you all lots of love & happiness!
