WIW -- Update the Dated Challenge

June 3, 2012

What is dated: The slim fit layering tee is somewhat dated. I think I got it summer 2010.

The straight legged jeans aren't exactly dated but they're not the super slim cropped style that is trendy right now. Also a 2010 item.

My updating techniques:
- I layered the sheer striped grey tee with a neon yellow tank. (On trend color)
- The belt is also neon yellow. (On trend color)
- Using a grey daytime clutch. (On trend bag)
- Grey and neon yellow are an on trend color combo.
- Neutral wedge sandals aren't exactly trendy but not dated either (I just got these, they are from DV).

Overall the look is more classic than my usual waist-surrendering approach.

    It looks fab on you but I didn't realize things from 2010 are considered "dated". :( I love how you put the tank under the t-shirt and I adore the nude wedges with the dark jeans!

    Denise, you have updated these now classic pieces to have a fashion edge which is true to your persona. Well done.

    Most of my stuff is from 2010 :-P but I really love this look :-)

    Like the way you take different pieces & combine thm into a lassic look with a bit of an edge i.e. the neon yellow.

  • annagybe replied 11 years ago

    Love this.

  • MsMary replied 11 years ago

    1. This outfit is perfectly you and perfectly fab.

    2. If items from 2010 are "dated," then I am in a. world. of. hurt. ;)

    2010 dated? I sure hope not! You look modern and stylish.

  • Midwest Girl replied 11 years ago

    Coco--you look great and current in this outfit. I wouldn't have considered any of the items dated. However, I'm probably slow to catch on to trends and hang on to some of my clothes too long.

  • Jonesy replied 11 years ago

    You look awesome! Love the little peeks of neon!

  • Erica replied 11 years ago

    Love your outfit! Especially the pop of neon :)

  • Angie replied 11 years ago

    KILLER. Love the neon.

    psssst! Nothing about these items was dated in the first place :)

  • Suz replied 11 years ago

    You look AMAZING in this.

    And if 2010 is dated, I'm in more trouble than I thought. Oh dear!!

  • Jaime replied 11 years ago

    Yes, I cannot accept 2010 as being dated - but you do look fantastic. Love the belt.

  • Kyle replied 11 years ago

    Love your style!

  • Beth Ann replied 11 years ago

    So fun! So "you." What a terrific way to incorporate the neon trend.

  • christieanne replied 11 years ago

    Not dated but is terrific! Fun new combination for you too.

  • rae replied 11 years ago

    I also had a hard time figuring out why those items were dated, but now they look extra fresh and current!

  • ManidipaM replied 11 years ago

    I like how you think when you play dress-up, Denise! ;-)

    That pop of neon and the daytime clutch make such a difference to basics!

  • Kari replied 11 years ago

    I don't see these individual pieces as dated... IMO the striped tee is more classic but just not cutting edge on trend. I love how you wore it here, especially with the shoes!
