GOLD STRIKE
Metallic accents seem to be one of the consistent trends that continue to pop up on the runway every season. They give a basic outfit a modern edge, although it’s important to remember that moderation is key, especially when infusing a look with more than one metallic element at a time. Keeping it simple will assure that you look like a fashion forward fashionista rather than a wanna be hip hop artist.
I think one of the main reasons that metallics never really go out of style is because they’re so versatile. They go with absolutely everything and can be styled in a number of different ways. Here I paired my gold shoe boots by Zara with a pair of flared Celine trousers with gold stitching for a sophisticated evening look, although they can just as easily be styled with jeans and a leather jacket for a more casual vibe. Last year I did a blog post that featured a gold bomber jacket by DKNY. However shiny gold jackets aren’t for everyone, which is why metallic accessories are a great way to incorporate the trend into your wardrobe in a more subtle way. A metallic shoe or bag is an easy way to instantly elevate a nondescript ensemble to something rather special.

Love those boots! You’re right, metallic accessories go with everything.
When in doubt go metallic
So I was showing my 16 year old your blog, Dorrie, your outfits, your style and explaining how you were, in my eyes, the absolute representation of how a woman should be. Fearless. Fierce. Strong. Unapologetic. She took one look at several posts and said, “I want to be her when I grow up.” To which I replied, “No, you can’t. I want to be her when I grow up!!”
And so the story goes 🙂
We did, however, agree on one other thing – we love all your shoes/boots xoxo
What a lovely compliment Sheela Thank you so much.
Absolutely sophisticated. Cannot believe these boots are Zara. I adore silver and gold boots and shoes. I have them myself. But because of this darned sprained ankle I cannot wear the high heeled ones. Did wear the golden biker boots a lot.
The gold stitching of the trousers is beautiful and the necklace…. vintage? Gold vintage? Or golden? Well… doesn’t really matter, it looks very good.

Hope the ankle is healed and you are back in the gold boots.
You have a good eye Greetje. yes, both the trousers and the necklace are vintage.
These shoes are so cute!
