Honestly, so much of my closet is clothing that I’ve had for close to 20 years. S and I were talking about it the other day and she told me I need new clothes if mine are so old, but I strongly disagree! My clothing are like old friends to me, and they’re classic enough pieces that they don’t go out of style. I just find new ways to wear them, adding or subtracting a piece now and then.<\/p>\n So here are a few photos from my board that are inspiring me right now. Maybe you’ll find something to inspire you as well? Or maybe you’ll be inspired to make your own board if you haven’t already.<\/p>\n Pinterest Picks<\/strong><\/p>\n As a former Ralph Lauren girl, I love the tailored, preppy look at Celine and Bottega Veneta this season. I’m even embracing that 1970’s vibe at Celine<\/a>. A little bit, anyway.<\/p>\n I’m also really inspired by neutrals (as you probably already know, with all the black, navy, and gray in my closet), and I just love these creamy neutrals right now. I also love the idea of holding a cardigan closed with a big, fancy, unexpected brooch. (But hold the designer logos–I’ll never embrace that trend.)<\/p>\n Tailored menswear pieces hold a lot of appeal to me, especially when paired with more feminine touches.<\/p>\n Here are a few ways I plan to wear pieces I already own: my black leather skirt and striped navy sweater, first. Or a cashmere crew worn over a longer knit top. I’ll probably pair them with my faux leather leggings<\/a>.<\/p>\n Shawls and scarves as layers are important since I’m always cold in the winter. (Apparently my heart rate is really low.) I also love button-downs with skinny trousers.<\/p>\n I might also try to take more photos of my outfits since I know some of you like to see what I’m wearing. Where shall I post them: on my personal Instagram<\/a>, like I’ve done in the past, or on the Liesl + Co. Instagram<\/a>? I was adding them to stories<\/a> for a while, but I must admit I rarely look at stories.<\/p>\n Weekend Reading (and Listening) OK, come back next week when we will have some new tutorials for you. It will be fun! What are you sewing this weekend? I’m going to cut into some fabric I’ve been saving for a very special project. I can’t wait to show you! It’s going to involve lots of plaid matching, lucky me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Liesl is here with her regular Weekend Links post, this time featuring some personal style inspiration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":72785,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[20687],"tags":[4],"class_list":["post-72772","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general","tag-links"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/wtw-feature.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5jZS5-iVK","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":81988,"url":"https:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/blog\/2023\/12\/how-to-add-texture-and-depth-to-your-wardrobe.html","url_meta":{"origin":72772,"position":0},"title":"how to add texture and depth to your wardrobe","author":"Liesl Gibson","date":"December 4, 2023","format":false,"excerpt":"Liesl is talking about how you can add a lot of depth and texture to your wardrobe by styling the items you own and wear with layers.","rel":"","context":"In "general post"","block_context":{"text":"general post","link":"https:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/list\/general"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/layers-feature.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200},"classes":[]},{"id":69507,"url":"https:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/blog\/2019\/05\/gelato-dress-styled-three-ways.html","url_meta":{"origin":72772,"position":1},"title":"gelato dress styled three ways","author":"Rachel Le Grand","date":"May 1, 2019","format":false,"excerpt":"As part of our Advisors Circle, Elisabeth is here to share the three different ways she styled her Liesl + Co.
