When I was 14 I used to wear this outfit my Mom called my Olive Oil look. I thought I looked so super chic, with my long straight skirt, little granny booties, and oversize cardigan. But as Mom pointed out years later, I did rather look like the stringy character from Popeye.
I thought I looked rather chic in this thrifted outfit yesterday, consisting of a wool Ports sweater (maybe $5?) and green wool skirt made in France (again, $4 or $5). Boots were new, but purchased a decade ago at the Bay, and the necklace made with vintage beads by Toronto designer Gay Isber).
But when I saw these pics of me, I wondered if I hadn't resurrected my Olive Oil look? The square-toed boots are a wee bit dated and make me look rather gawky-Olive Oli-ish. And the long straight skirt makes me look, well, long and straight.
Shades of my 14-year old style self or French chic?
