Fashion and lifestyle content creator Janie Medley (63) lives in Richmond, Virgina, and documents her outfits on Instagram. Her style is elegant, polished, and on-trend. Janie has tons of fun playing with different trouser silhouettes. She loves matching sets, and wears neutrals and brights equally well. Her short, sassy hairdo adds extra polish and pizzazz to everything she wears.
This is a wonderful example of Angie’s Tee, Blazer & Trendy Bottoms outfit formula. Janie dresses up mid-wash bell-bottoms and light grey tee with a silver shimmery blazer in the trendy longer length. Tucking the tee lengthens the leg line from the hips up, while the exaggerated flare of the jeans draws attention to our blogger’s pointy-toe animal print shoes that match the colours of the topper and tee. The red inner trim on her fedora adds a subtle but impactful pop of colour. Pale pink lippy and oversized hoop earrings complete the look.
Janie loves a good matching set, and these exuberantly patterned co-ords are for those who like the silky pyjama vibe worn as regular clothes. The turquoise, green, black and white graphic pattern has a fab Mod vibe. Janie is wearing the slightly cropped shirt untucked over the straight leg cropped trousers. The playful matchy-matchy pattern draws the eye up and down. Crisp white heeled slides and an angular cuff bracelet echo the white in the rest of the outfit. Trademark oversized hoop earrings, raspberry lipstick and red toenail polish bring extra colour to the look.
Orange, yellow, and cognac are an unexpected but fantastic colour combo in this dressy Fall outfit. Janie has faux-tucked a ribbed tangerine mock-neck sweater over cropped straight leg faux leather trousers in a cheerful bright orange. She tops things off with a long-line blazer with tailored shoulders in a soft yellow that works beautifully with the shades of orange. Cognac block-heeled pointy-toe booties don’t match the orange trousers but the medium colour contrast does elongate the leg line. Our blogger keeps the accessories in the same colour family with a structured satchel in a lighter shade of cognac and rust cuff bracelet. Soft peach lipstick, big hoops, and Janie’s sleek short ‘do are the perfect finishing touches.
An all neutrals outfit with lots of pearl panache. Janie has paired toffee wide leg, flowy pin-striped trousers with a dressy white shirt and black short-sleeved sweater. The tuxedo stripe on the trousers matches her sweater and shiny dark hair. White sneakers match the shirt and add a sporty touch. The shirt’s high-low hemline and the exposed sleeves from the elbow down add lots of lightness. Janie accessorizes with multi-layered pearl necklaces in white and champagne and a pearl bracelet that suit the outfit’s colour palette beautifully. Finally, her quilted bag with gold chain-strap matches the turtleneck sweater.
A second matching set, this one non-patterned in vibrant emerald green. Janie wears the relaxed-fit turtleneck sweatshirt untucked over the ankle-length wide leg trousers. The jogger material, white tuxedo stripe on the pants, and white accents on the sweatshirt give the outfit its sporty vibe. While the refined white block-heeled, pointy-toe boots and structured circular mini bag dress up the look. Janie’s angular white-framed sunnies, bright red lipstick, sleek ‘do and beloved big hoops add the signature touch.
Shaggy coat and bell-bottoms make a delightful combo in this casual look with groovy ‘70s vibe. Janie has paired the eye-catching floral pants with a simple black turtleneck that repeats the black background of the floral print. The volume of the thigh-length jacket is tempered by the trousers’ slim fit on the thigh area, and balanced out by the flared lower part. White pointy-toed shoes peeking out from under the trousers lengthen the leg line and echo the white in the large-scale floral pattern, which, together with the bone jacket, creates visual cohesion. Big hoop earrings, a dainty pendant, and bright red lipstick are the polished finishing touches.
