I love to mix feminine and edgy pieces. My overall look is feminine, so I like to avoid looking too “sweet.” A great combination for this goal is: moto and pearls.
This is a typical “post-career” (sounds younger than “retired”) look for me, but would also work well in a casual office. I grabbed a favorite chambray shirt (similar) and paired it with my tuxedo trousers (sim). That made a perfectly cheerful look, but I needed the faux leather vest (sim) to make it more fun. Then the faux gray pearls (sim) for icing on the cupcake.
And oxfords, for style, comfort and a tiny scrap of color.
I like the vest worn open, too – not as chic, but easier to eat lunch this way : >

Top is super. In fact this leather vest is not fun, its trendy, it fit to rest of clothes and this is the best part. Looks great.
Shoes… not perfect :). I suggest something like mocassins. And dark! It will be better.
Such a fun look on you Patti. Moto and pearls. Perfect! It’s great to co-host My Refined Style with you
Cheers,
Jennifer
Likewise, Jennifer, and thanks!
Love that moto vest! I can’t believe it is faux, it looks so real. Great look Patti!!

É como a Dra. Suzana di.rLz.emb.o-me da estátua (vivi alguns anos no Porto), e lembro-me muito bem do texto a que o caro Professor Massano Cardoso se reporta.
It’s a great combination, and you wear it so well! Actually, Patti, I think you could do the full-on Rock Chick thing and look just as fabulous! xxx
I’d love to try it! Thanks for your kind words, xo
You mix feminine & edgy so well! Great look!

Hope to see you for TBT Fashion link up.
Thanks Alice, always great to see you!
You’re smart — since you exude natural femininity, adding a touch of masculine energy to it is alchemical, not only creating interesting looks but emphasizing your feminine beauty by contrast. The perfect style choice for you.
Thank you Ally – those are such kind thoughts and words!
I love the idea of the leather and pearls together.
bisous
Suzanne
and a little bit of lace! xo
Right? It’s genius! I’m just trying to figure out if the magical secret ingredient that makes it all work is Patti’s natural beauty, or if there’s any hope for the more ordinary and faded-cushion-like among us.
