WIW - A new FFBO formula

I have an important meeting in my studio today and then dinner with friends.

I decided I enjoyed wearing the flared jeans/long jacket combo so much, I would do it again. Slightly more dressed up this time.

Finally debuting the crazy-big white and silver clutch I got in Boston. I like the drama and architecture of the jacket and clutch together.

Not sure this top is the most flattering by itself, but I think it's JFE. I might tack up the sleeves to a more flattering length and angle (pic 5). I think it looks better in person because its flowy and moves nicely, even though its quite waist-surrendering.

Yay! The giant clutch is coming out to play! (I love that you bought all the things at BCBG that I liked - giant clutch, this long jacket - but couldn't figure out how to wear in my real life. So now I get to enjoy it all vicariously through you!).

I LOVE this silhouette on you. So flattering and chic.

Thanks, Diana! And NDmom too! This clutch is awesome -- I can fit everything in it! It's not necessarily an everyday piece for me (some days I really need to use a bag I can sling on my shoulder or at least carry on my arm), but it was too fun for me to pass up, since I had no white bags and I could see it being useful for brightening up an outfit.

You look so fabulous! I love that long jacket and how it balances the flare of your jeans.

This looks great Janet - such a wonderful jacket and I love the tee and the clutch, and the boots AND the jeans. It's playful in the most stylish way.

You're right about the drama and architecture of this - such nice pieces all around! Your meeting must have gone well!

Love the flared jean/long jacket combo - extremely flattering. I think the top looks hood without the jacket although removing the jacket gives a much more casual vibe.

Killer. Go Queen Flared Jeans.

I'm glad you bought that fun clutch. It was meant to be yours - and another fun memento of the Boston gathering. xo

Love this whole look, Janet. That top is beautiful. How did I miss that clutch in BCBG? I mean, literally, how did I miss it - it's huge! haha. But amazing!! So perfect with your style. So glad you got it. That store was an absolute winner for you.

Ack I love the whole thing! The dramatic jacket, the oversized clutch, the metallic booties! All super fab. For the blouse I like the sleeve length as-is at the longer length.

Ooh, this nis a great outfit! You rock this long jacket like nobody else and it is so perfect with the flares. You did hit a jackpot in BCBG because the clutch is seriously awesome too. I have to pin this outfit for further inspiration!

Ah, a lesson in the power of an awesome coat! I like the sleeves of the top as is, but I think that's a style thing and not flattery - you look equally good in both!

Ooh, I love the dramatic lines of that jacket! And the clutch is so fab.

Super fabulous - I love the jacket, the clutch and those booties. You are rockin' that jacket with the flared jeans! I have always liked BCBGeneragion, and now that I have encountered the world of BCBG Max Azria, well, step aside Generation! I adore their clothes, and more importantly, I adore the fit and quality of their clothes. I might be passing by one of their stores on my way home from Long Island tomorrow, and I might just have to stop in....

Janet, this look so fab. I just love the silhouette created by the flares and the long jacket. It's kind of timeless. And that clutch is amazing, the perfect accessory.

I totally love this outfit!! Perfection! The wide leg of the pant balances the short sleeved top, and the marbled print is fantastic! The jacket, the shoes, the over sized clutch- awesome!!!
