I am in love with this ensemble!  So I went a bit overboard and tried every combination that Angie had described and I still have loads of tops that would go with this ensemble!  I also have almost everything needed for it.  How often does that happen in my world?!  Not too many times!  So I thought I would put it out here for your approval and to see what works and what doesn't.

Flared Pants - Check (albeit much more casual)
Soft button down - Check (Strict doesn't work for me)
Pointy toe black pumps - Check
Layering tops/sweater - My kinds - Check!
Animal Print Clutch - Check
Drape front leather jacket - Check (Mine is faux )
Soft fluid blouses - Check
Necklaces - Check

So here we go:

1 - Layered sheer button down shirt and v-neck sweater.  In an ideal world, the sweater would be more fluid and the shirt would be longer, but this is all I have  Camel is not really my color, so green will have to do

2 - With jacket.  I won't wear this in real life.  Too warm for our climate!  And the jacket is a bit too snug over two full sleeved under layers!  Movement of arms was restrictive.

3/4 - I wish I had that terrific drapey tee that Angie showed.  This drapey halterneck sequined tee will have to do for me.  The top plays well with the casual vibe of the pants IMO.  What do you think?

5 - Soft peach button down blouse with chunky necklace.  This would work well under the jacket too.  Sorry no pics!  It is too hot here!

6/7 - I like this better without the necklace.  I like the clean neckline.  What about you?

You will have to trust me that this pant doesn't sweep the ground!  The way I am standing (trying model poses o_O) makes it look weird.  IRL, these pants are amazingly drapey and are just above the ground.  Although a bit clingy and shows off every lump and bump!

My version is much more casual than Angie's.  But I think these work perfectly for my lifestyle.  I had a lot of fun trying on the outfits.  Which one is your favorite?  Do any of these looks not work?  Any suggestion for improvement is welcome.  Thanks for looking and commenting as always! x
