love pieces like this with a story and sentimental value. I’ve gotten rid of things before like this and only regretted it.
First thought was to lean into the 80’s and think about shows like Absolutely Fabulous or Golden Girls. Pair with bigger pants, a low heel, and lots of jewelry. Colorwise, think you have to go white/black and let the jacket be the focus, or the opposite and just maximize color so the black collar isn’t so dominant. Wear it open with a more revealing/lace top.
for more casual, think punk. Your mini skirt and tights sound amazing with black boots, band tshirt/top underneath and silver jewelry.

Oversized brown houndstooth sweater coat I’ve had for like five years, funky vintage metallic gold sweater I’ve had for ten years, wool men’s fedora I stole from costumes when I played a male gangster in a middle school play, big scarves, sheer black pantyhose, black boots, black dresses, black blazers… maybe get back into some aggressive pattern clashing idk I’m feeling quirky

Personally I would scrap wearing a top under it and embrace the v neck cut I would wear a ankle length flowy skirt or wide leg pant for bottoms—> I think u can get away w pairing any color w the coat if you accessorize accordingly And if you’re dressing it up a cute pair of some classic pumps, for down a chunky sneaker to balance out the visual weight of the silhouette

I'm a fan of big pants, but for the top portion... button up, sweater, maybe even throw in a light jacket as a midlayer. Or you could always take it in the elegant, old, costumey direction... Or go for margot tenenbaum with one of those lacoste polo dress things... or just go weird with it and wear all your craziest pieces

some people go their whole lives without experiencing something they want to do or allowing themselves to try something. the rules are made up. you are not too old for anything

a study issued last month found that dancing is the most effective way of treating and mitigating depression. Walking, therapy, and yoga also outpaced SSRIs. and if you're saying 'oh this was probably funded by Big Dance', there's no evidence of that and if you're saying 'that's just what a Big Dance shill would say', well honey you're right
