10 Year Old Suit, Two Furlas, and a Trend

Grabbing a minute to rest between clients!

#OOTD: a 10 year old pinstriped Theory suit that I hemmed for flats. It looks current enough FOR ME with the longer blazer and mid rise. Wish it wasn’t grey but it’s sooooo beautifully made and impeccable all these years later. Can’t pass it on. Making it work this way. My way

Fashion Message Today: REPURPOSE AND REMIX OLD FAB CLOTHES

I carry two Furlas on days like this. One for my phone that is on me at all times. And one for everything else.

And finally found my trendy belt bag! Had to be white, cheap, not too big, and with gold hardware. It’s VERY practical for my lifestyle.

And how badly I eat during the NAS. No time to sit. Have to grab and not make mess.

Off to fetch the next client at concierge...

What a great suit Angie ! And how you are wearing these yellow pieces with so many different things is truly inspiring ! You’re making me want to get yellow shoes and a bag I bought a black belt bag and am having fun with it too . Do you have a find for yours ? I’d love a white one too .

The suit is beautiful. Loving the yellow sneakers and accessories. No surprise you are having fun whilst in between clients - you're cracking me up and are sooooo darn cute. The white belt bag is perfect, but I have to ask what the heck is in the blue furla? It looks like it weighs a ton!! I am having images of Mary Poppins flash in my head wondering what magical items you can pull from that bag!! Curiosity is killing me

Fantastic remix. The belt bag with pearls just slays me, so perfect on you.

What a great idea to hem those pants for flats! That suit is perfect. The classics never die!

And your new belt bag is super fun on you! Rock on, oh Shopping Goddess!!

Mntsofthemoon, lots in the blue Furla - like shopping and my unhealthy snack food

I’m enjoying seeing lots of pics of you recently, Angie! You’ve styled/accessorized your Theory suit so fably that no one would ever know it’s ten years old.

Sugar will help keep your energy going, and drinking water is always good. Carry on!

I'm loving watching you shop and seeing your purchases. Looking great as always.

Angie - you look fab!! Omg do you love Theory suits and the all have that gray lining when you roll the sleeves. I also just bought the coach belt bag. Very fun and practical. BTW don’t they have a wrap or sandwich? Your poor blood sugar!! I’m thinking at least a few kind bars would fit in your that little furla...

Thanks for the kind words, ladies! You’re all so sweet.

Gryffin, Theory suits and jackets are IMPECCABLE. At least, they were ten years ago. (I liked Kind bars for a nanosecond. Not something I enjoy eating).

Veteran

the fruit and nut isn't bad in a pinch, at least it's recognizable ingredients. It's portable and shelf stable, most of the bars are questionable. I don't eat that stuff either, but in a pinch if you are desperate.....

Beautiful and brilliant. Mentally noted for fall. I know you have super energy, but don't forget to sleep!

This post thrills me ...... because , well, THREE bags.

All three of them take my breath away. Your blue bag may be the very reason that I have been looking for a blue bag of my own. I hadn't realized your blue bag was so large. Good size for me.

In 2018 I searched high and low for a belt bag. My biggest requirement was that I did not want black. I eventually gave up and convinced myself I did not need a belt bag. This post changes my mind. You look fabulous wearing it. I would have to learn to wear the bag the way you illustrate. I might take some practice on my part.

Adding this to my list.

GREAT post.

Ditto Rachy What a great suit and happy accents!

This is really something - to look KILLER GORGEOUS when working so hard and in a suit that is 10 years old - you really are an inspiration. Except not in the healthy eating for today, good to see that you are human after all!

Love that gorgeous suit paired with bright yellow! I wish I was close enough to be that next client...
Happy shopping!
(Only at NAS can that be called lunch. Hope you get to sleep.)

So fun and fab. Love the bright pops of color.

Best yet is the repurposing of the suit. Keeping it current while still enjoying it. That was a terrific suit to add to your closet!

Love that suit, especially in gray ! And those Furlas are so beautiful!

Seconding Windchime on all her comments. You eat so well that a « sometime food » of sugar is perfectly appropriate! Love the bumbag and curious on how you plan to wear: will you use it slung over a shoulder as you are here or as an actual belted bag? I’ve been toying with the idea of getting one—loved their practicality back in the day—but admit to a small amount of worry that, at my age and having worn them the first time around, I’ll look like a granny tourist from the 80s.
