WIW: I Am Not Emmanuelle Alt!

Deborah

Veteran

Nothing like stating the obvious lol!

This outfit was inspired by EA in #2:)

I wore this to church on Sunday. Given the heat, I opted for a straight leg rather than a skinny and i have chosen not to tuck. My jacket is not a slouchy fit or long like hers. Hmmm I think I might be in the market for a new white blazer!?

I mostly went sans jacket as our AC wasn't on and it has been warm.

My feeling is the jacket is not the best for the proportions of this outfit. If I wear it again I think I would swap out the white for a slouchy black blazer (until I could find a better white one

Your thoughts as always, are very much appreciated.

I think you did a great job copying her style, your outfit it great! I love her too, she's very stylish!

I like this a lot. I can see what you mean about the jacket proportions, though. How does it look with the jacket sleeves scrunched up to the elbows like EA? Just wondering if that might balance it more.

I think the jacket looks fine, but a slouchy white one might look even better (if that's possible - you look great). I like your look better than hers, and while I love her style, yours is more classicly stylish. Fantastic!

What a great interpretation! I see what you mean about proportions - I think I want the blouse shorter or the jacket longer, but the overall effect works for me. You look gorgeous!

I love your interpretation and it totally goes with the rest of you. Glad you are NOT EA. Anyway on her pic it looks she's trying a bit too hard, whereas you, with very similar items, look naturally stylish.
ETA especially love the blazer's proportions.

Yes, but I think you look even better than she does. I love this outfit.

You look good, you have definitely put your own stamp on this look and it works. You've put a classic twist to the outfit and I think it looks stylish. If you feel the need to change it up slightly it would be good to see the result with another pic.

Great inspiration. You did a fantastic job recreating with an elegant vibe. If you had a longer jacket I think the top would need to be shorter. I think the short jacket works with the long top.

i like yours even better!

I love this! It's a perfect example to me of Elegant Eclectic and I would wear it in a heartbeat. EA's white jacket is more of the moment while yours looks more classic blazer, but I still think it works.

I think it's a fab outfit and the proportions are spot on. You look much better than EA in my opinion!

I think your outfit works very well. One of the things I like best about it, is that it is"your" look...it's not totally EA's. In other words, you're maintaining some of your signature style while being inspired by another's. And in the extreme heat, your efforts are heroic!!

i think you are not seeing what the rest of us are. I think the proportions of this jacket work beautifully and no need to switch it up!

Well I think this outfit is gorgeous and completely reinforces the fact that I need a fab fitting white blazer for spring/summer. I like the proportions of the longer blouse underneath the blazer and the soft look of untucked. Love this so much!

Oh, but this is terrific! I like it!

You always look so darned good! I love this on you, the white jacket really highlights your lovely coloring. Good thought about the looser pants for the heat. I love a nice white blazer. It's like "instant chic".

Have you tried the printed blouse tucked in? I'm just curious if you would like the jacket's proportions better in that configuration, where it is the longer item.

Deborah, you look fabulous! I can't believe you had pieces in your closet that are even this close to E.A.'s. You are one semi-tuck and a sleeve scrunch away from the picture. Your blouse is amazing!

It looks great! You could try a shorter top under it to create the longer jacket look maybe?...and scrunch the sleeves like someone suggested, but you really don't need to change a thing.

I like your version!

I think your look is gorgeous -- and, while I see what you mean about proportion, I think the white topper is far more energizing than the black.

You don't have to be --- "I did it my way" comes to mind. This is gorgeous on you. I absolutely love it. I really appreciate how you've adopted this outfit to reflect you and your lifestyle. It's more of an adaptation than an a copy and I really appreciate that difference. Bravo!
