MMmmm love the Duran Duran bag – you definetly know how to put the look together! You should do Carribean STYLE just for fun. I’m guessing that the Wayfarers are not needed in London this time of year? Hope you had a super duper B-DAY!

WOWOW!! Angie, I LOVE LOVE everything, every last bit of it! The Ben Sherman tee, the jacket, the jeans, the pearls, the sandals and last but not the least – the Duran Duran bag. Now thats how we do all black in style, no? FAN-TASTIC! My hard-to-pick-one-but-will favorite part is how you bunched the jacket sleeve so the lining peeks out. BRILLIANT! Oh, and KILLER

Wait, didn’t I pass you on my run this morning?

Angie, this is KILLER! I LOVE this look- and it is SO London! You have every element there- the skinnies, the tailoring, the androgyny and the touch of vintage. I prefer it with your white bag as it’s more “Angie” and a bit more sophisticated, but the Duran Duran bag (love it) is very London indeed- I can’t tell you how many vintage bags like that my boyfriend has lurking in the closet!

Love that you’ve borrowed Greg’s shirt, too. Not only is Ben Sherman a great brand for the challenge, but I think androgyny and that whole “borrowed-from-the-boys” look is very typical of here. A lot of girls (and boys!) shop unisex. When we were much younger and cooler, my bf and I used to go buy vintage tee’s at Camden market and just share them- they’d be tight on him, with 70’s flared jeans and Cons, and I’d wear them with skirts and heels.

Anyway, you hit this one out of the park! It might just be my favourite of challenge…

Mine too, Ele

I love it! I love the pearls and while bag and sandals with the punkier t-shirt and black-black-black combo, and the skinny jeans!

This is my favorite outfit of the challenge — absolutely fabulous (to quote from a British show)!! I love London, everything about it, and you have captured the essence of that amazing city in every article of clothing.

You must keep raiding Greg’s closet on a regular basis! And, the Duran Duran bag is the perfect touch.

Of the three outfits, HK seemed the most “you,” but I just love you in this one!

Thanks, Vani, Laura, Gina, Chantelle and Ele. (This is Greg’s favourite challenge outfit too).

Ele, thanks for chiming in. Even though I visit London fairly often, you live there right now, so your perception was especially interesting to me.

I love your Duran Duran bag!!

I want to see this same outfit with black converse tennis shoes!

Angie, this looks great on you! Your look is so polished and the contrast with the urban feel of the outfit is wonderful.

Angie, double WOWs to you! I totally love the London & HK looks & want to learn how to put those looks together for me. Just outstanding………Thx for sharing.

This is my favorite challenge outfit! I can’t believe how great you look in Greg’s t-shirt! Very edgy and interesting. I’d wear an outfit like this in an instant.

Great job!

YOU’RE IN A T-SHIRT! OH MY WORD!

i haven’t had time in the past couple of days to post comments, but my goodness, i love this challenge for you, and i love how you’ve embraced it so whole-heartedly. three very different looks for you, and yet so angie! i can totally imagine you rocking this one. and it’s definitely my fav.

yay!

Duran Duran! Hungry Like the Wolf! My era too ;D

Love this outfit! I like the idea of a boxy tee under a jacket. I can definitely see myself trying this out! Thanks for another inspiring outfit!!!

Angie, I have to say that this is my favorite challenge, also! I think the reason is because it was so totally unexpected to see you wearing a tee and dressed all in black. I love how you paired the tee with the fitted jacket and skinny jeans. What really blew me away was how you took this edgy, urban look and made it all your own by adding the oh-so-Angie vintage pearls. Daring and brilliant!

You Look Fab!

This week, I very much enjoyed your word descriptions of the styles in each city and then could see how those words captured the visuals. It was like I could finally see how using a word to describe myself could then be translated into an actual wardrobe look.

I think what I enjoyed about today’s look is that it does have a casual vibe but it still is oh-so-complete, unlike my casual outfits that lack an accessory or layer or bag.

I cannot believe it but this is my favorite!! I thought it would be Tel Aviv, which was superb but the graphic quality of this one is just perfect!!! I love this look on you . I have been in London for the past three summers with theater students and know that you have nailed the look of the streets! I love this edgy and slightly androgynous style! (although totally Angie with a feminine touch) I am going to London again in August and you have inspired me. I would also wear that look in an instant!

You did great! Nothing says London like a duran duran bag

you knocked it out of the park, Angie!

Another great outfit Angie. You pulled off a men’s T, that’s amazing. I shudder at the thought of wearing a men’s T, but you prove it can be done with style. Of all the outfits, I liked the Hong Kong one the best. Another things that strikes me is that all outfits featured black in a prominent way. Is that because these cities are such that black is the most common color? For example, if I was doing a city outfit for Miami, I would never,ever wear black, because it is a warm climate city. I am not sure what colors I would choose for cooler climates even if it is summer.

This was such a fun exercise for us, your readers. Thank you submitting yourself to it.

This is been so interesting. Thank you for the fashion world tour! Love the idea of converse sneakers with this outfit. The duran duran bag is PERFECT. For an gritty twist, I’d flip up the jacket collar, punk out the hair with some gel and wear a black leather bracelet.

Great outfit – I never expected to see you in a men’s tee but it looks perfect of course!

And London has become the favourite. This is not a cop-out, but I do not have a favourite! Each outfit seemed equally significant as an out-of-box challenge.

Danja, all three outfits *are * very black, which is a pretty prominent colour in all the respective challenge cities, which has little to do with the weather actually. Tel Aviv and HK have very hot weather! Wearing so much black was also a challenge because I only love black in small to medium doses. I am not a fan of the colour black in large doses at all. On anyone.

It’s interesting that the Converse came up. I LOVE Converse, but I would not wear them with skinny jeans. That’s too “young-looking”. I’m 39. For sure if I’d substituted the skinnies for straight-legs or bootcuts.

Joey, I don’t own a leather cuff, but nice idea!

Amazing that you wore a big T which is so out of your normal range, and you made it look great with that gorgeous jacket and those great skinny jeans. Is that your Rag and Bone jacket from last years NAS?
If someone asked me to do London style I’d probably think of dressing like the Queen! I would be way out of place on the streets wouldn’t I?
I love how you can take things that are accessable to all of us, like the KC wedge sandals and make them into a London outfit. You show us that we can all do this! Thanks.

..and another KILLER! Love the funky urban vibe. I loved all three outfits and can’t really choose a favourite..but the duran duran bag is the coolest of everything you sported (also because their ‘come undone’ is my most loved song ever!)

Very fun. I’ve SO enjoyed this series, Angie!

LOVE IT. Especially with the Duran Duran bag, of course. (Did you go see them at Marymoor Park last weekend? I would have gone had we not been out of town.) Anyway, your outfit is sooo perfect, and sooo Euro – you’d look just as “at home” in it in the streets of Berlin.

This is also my favorite- but I loved them all.

Angie, this whole challenge has been like a “how to put outfits together” tutorial. It has really helped me see how different elements-accessories and clothes- can change a look so dramatically. Really, really helpful for those of us who need help thinking beyond the basics of top and bottom.

I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!

This is also my fave – I think you could rock the graphic tee for weekends and “clubs” or casual events. Fantastic!!

This is my hands down FAVORITE for entirely self-centered reasons (it is the most “me” in personality)–BUT I love how it looks on you!

I adore Ben Sherman and think this shirt is perfect for all the reasons you (and Ele) stated. I really need to bulk up my graphic T collection and now I’m strongly considering shopping the UO men’s section. It reads more like a tunic than a big boxy T to me–the jacket gives it the shape it needs. Now I feel a lot less reluctant to buy a long sleeve blazer when the time comes as long as I can wear it like this.

Seeing you take on this challenge has really been helpful to see. Little details like how you rolled up the sleeves and elements you grabbed from Greg have given me (and I’m sure others) a lot to think about in how we compose our own outfits.

Beautiful! I am so amazed to see you in a tee shirt. It looks very Kate Moss-like.

I’m with Maya – I never would have considered rolling up the sleeves so far on the blazer. I love wearing my own black blazer but it usually feels too formal even with jeans – maybe the additional textural interest will add the right note. I’ll play with it.

Will you actually be publicly sporting these outfits, Angie? (I know you said you *would* be comfortable with them, but I’m also interested to know if you are planning to.)

My personal favorite is the Tel Aviv outfit. I just loved how you incorporated a style that is *so* different from what you usually wear, but made all of the elements look very Angie-like instead of being a caricature of Israeli fashion. It’s really giving me a window on how to push your own envelope very far, but still remain true to your personal style. Thanks so much for playing along with this challenge and sharing the results with all of us!

And the London outfit continues to be a favourite. Very interesting. Perhaps it’s the most tangible to replicate? That’s my guess.

Kari, I would absolutely with 100% sincerity sport each outfit in public and enjoy it. The Tel Aviv outfit was the most outside my comfort zone because the colours were so, so earthy, and as you know, earthy colours are my least favourite. It took a lot out of me to wear the gold like you saw in the HK post, but I’m over it and can do that too. The London outfit is actually the easiest of the three to wear – as long as I keep the jacket on.

Nice job pulling this together….. Not something I would wear,…but I love this look on others… It has a certain edge that I love to see on the trendier, HIPPER, and younger…(than me) crowd You totally pull this off..

I think this is my favorite outfit of the three.

Funny thing, I wore a similar ensemble to a Robin Williams show earlier this year … jeans were blue, jacket was navy (with sleeves up!), teal silk tank was in place of the cool tee, long gold chain intead of pearls. I’m not big fan of tee shirts either, except to work out in or sleep in.

This is absolutely my favorite. Love the Duran Duran bag and the Ben Sherman tee.

It’s kind of a shock to see you almost “casual” in jeans and a tee! Of course, it’s still a very put-together outfit with pearls, blazer and heels involved, but still. Angie’s in jeans and a boxy tee! *g*

This by far my favorite too. I love the whole combo and would wear it myself.

Angie you have nailed each and every outfit!!!! I think Tel Aviv is still my fave, but this is def. a close second. I love every piece in this outfit – and the way it all looks together is “simply smashing” to use a Londonism – wicked!!!! I hope you felt as fab as you looked in these 3 outfits!!!!

Angie,

Great ensemble.
You could hang with Duran Duran in a heartbeat!

This outfit has “street” edginess, but it is still crisp.
It is fun to see and looks like it would be even more fun to wear.

The t-shirt really does make it work, I totally agree that a fitted woman’s tee would make the outfit fall apart… too much like any ordinary daytime shopping outfit.

I can almost taste… Fish & Chips!
Thank you for another great post.

Fantastic! Ab Fab for all three. Well done! Great that you have extended your boundaries.

Amazing combination! I love all the three looks and you pulled them off wonderfully.

Angie is wearing a T, and you look unbelievable!! You look so wonderful! Love, love, love this one! You look so fresh and fun, but it is still sophisticated an edgy! A+++++++

Love this! You did a fantastic job with all the challenges, Angie. Great style!

I’m thinking that the London look is the favorite because it’s a look that most of us are most likely to wear… it’s closest to what you’d find in a lot of American cities. Maybe?

In any case, all the looks are excellent!

Ahh! I second that this is a great outfit. My only small comment is that (from my few months in London), folks in London who have this edgy style of dress (or in other words folks that don’t work in the City) typically wear more practical shoes, as London is rainy and the Tube is super expensive. Maybe flat-soled slouchy booties or a ballerina flat would have been slightly more “London” but you still did such a great job!
Change Ben Sherman to a vintage style CBGB’s tshirt and this could be an “East Village” outfit as well. Great job!

Amazing!

I have to admit that this is my favorite outfit (Tel-Aviv comes a very close second). It is so unbelievably cool, and the “Duran Duran” bag is a great touch!

I would also love to see it with rougher shoes – Doc Martens, maybe?

Angie, I’m curious, which outfit of the three was the most fun for you to put together? I’m glad that you will enjoy wearing all three. They are all super!

Thank you again for being such a good sport. It was really enjoyable being whisked off to the three cities and seeing your fab outfits. Perhaps sometime in the future you’ll surprise us with a post of one of the other challenges. I think we would all love seeing Angie Goes to the Oscars or Angie Channeling Chanel….

I really like the Tel-Aviv look, but London has to be my favorite as well. I love skinnies, but I never wear heels, so I always pair them up with Converse or with ballerinas, and I am 26… Is it time to quit yet?

I really liked this challenge! Do more city-looks some other time!

I have been really busy lately, but I hope I get time to participate in the forum again soon. I do regularly read your posts, though

I’ve loved all your challenge outfits but this is the one many of us will want to copy on some level for a concert or weekend or those times we are required to wear a tee with someone’s logo on it for an event. You’ve blown us away with your style in this challenge!

Angie, it’s amazing how you have created such different and perfectly geography appropriate outfits. London in my favorite as well: edgy, funky, Londoner, and YOU. But I also loved seeing you in gold since I don’t usually do so. Now that you’ve modeled it, I hope this starts a new golden era for you.

I’m very late to this post

I concur with everything said above: this is my favorite outfit, partly because it’s so easy to replicate, plus it appeals to my sense of style.

The famous Duran Duran bag finally makes an appearance! It’s such a treat, thanks Angie!

It’s been more than 10 years since I was last in the UK–maybe it’s time for another visit! I love the funkiness of this outfit, especially how you used the oversize T as a tunic top.

Just a thought…..since everyone loves the London outfit, maybe I’m not the only one who would enjoy seeing some funky looks posted. You did such a great job w/all 3 outfits, maybe some posts w/ attitude & funkiness! by our lovable Angie would be big hits for your fans.

Thanks!
