Rust and olive

Isn't it a funny thing that rust and olive green are back in fashion?

I've had this V-neck sweater since 1998, if I remember correctly. Wore it all the time with jeans or corduroy pants in high school. Didn't we all wear tons of Benetton knits in back then?

The skirt is kinda old too, purchased during my early student years. If I had to guess I'd say circa 2002.

And the rest, you most probably have seen then already at some point.

Rust wool sweater, BENETTON. Olive-green corduroy skirt, NAF NAF. Maroon tights, MARKS&SPENCER. Grey snakeskin ballet flats, MASSIMO DUTTI. Scarf, BERSHKA. Ring necklace, PULL&BEAR. Feather ring, ASOS.

This is, more or less, why I never throw away anything.

funny how some years earlier women were so matchy matchy and now you can wear any colors you like and look great!

Love the outfit!It's so cute! And the color of the tights looks so nice with this outfit-i wouldn't imagine! Yeah, those Benetton knits.....i used to hate them back then (considering them too boring), but i love them now and thank god they're still in a pretty good condition!

Nice color combination, I wish I could keep clothes that long, unfortunately I only have a few garments that are more than 3 years old. You look great by the way. =)

LOVE the colored tights!!!!
I have also so many "old' clothes, I would call them vintage -almost-, which are SO wearable over and over again...!
