I especially like that all of these are plaids/checks that you can wear to an office--just a little bit spicy and not so ordinary.

Pear with swimmer shoulders here, so I won’t bother trying if they are for the slim of shoulder or hip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-angie-my-plaid-suits#post-2171568 Fri, 12 Feb 2021 21:55:17 +0000 Tanya 2171568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all again for the kind words.</p> <p>Sloper, glad that our thought processes seem to be aligned.</p> <p>Jules, you are very kind.&nbsp; I guess that office dress code that is halfway between standard business casual and very formal business wear ( e.g. bankers, lawyers) is perfectly aligned with these types of clothes.</p> <p>Gryffin, congrats on the Clairene!&nbsp; I am sure it looks stunning on you.&nbsp; Sadly, it is not in my budget now.&nbsp; As for the VB sales, I have studied their cycle very well.&nbsp; The VB brand site has sales in this order: 30%, 50% and then 70% off.&nbsp; And then on holidays etc. they have extra 15% or 20% off.&nbsp; So I typically buy when the prices are at 70% off with extra 15/20% off.&nbsp; Having said that, I pre-plan, that is identify my target early on, and then stalk it until it reaches that price range.&nbsp; My success rate is about 50-50 on my size being still available, which is pretty good in my opinion.</p> <p>Sal, you are very welcome.&nbsp; I am glad you enjoyed the post. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-angie-my-plaid-suits#post-2171562 Fri, 12 Feb 2021 21:33:40 +0000 Sal 2171562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely stunning! Thanks fir sharing this eye candy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-angie-my-plaid-suits#post-2171559 Fri, 12 Feb 2021 21:17:27 +0000 gryffin 2171559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gah!&nbsp; Tanya!!&nbsp; Wow!!&nbsp; So gorgeous!&nbsp; Well done that is quite some haul and how fabulous when you can rock them.&nbsp; You've had an amazing pandemic clothing wise and there have been some incredilbe sales.&nbsp; VB is so expensive but you hit and sale and they are an incredilbe bargain.&nbsp; So I guess now would not be the time to tell you that I was weak.....&nbsp; I bought the Theory Clairene leather sleeve jacket which was on sale at saks.com for $197 (down from $750).&nbsp; I was not sure about the mixed media but it was so much more beautiful in person than in the photo and one reviewer had issues with the quality of the leather sleeves, and I totally disagree I think the jacket is fabulous quality.&nbsp; So If you might need a topper for those beautiful suits (sleeves are narrow so be warned) or something completely different it is worthy.&nbsp; But with all your amazing pieces and the HL I would applaud you for being good.&nbsp; But it's really wonderful....... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-angie-my-plaid-suits#post-2171547 Fri, 12 Feb 2021 20:36:43 +0000 Jules 2171547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, amazing collection! I envy the need to have such a wardrobe and vicariously enjoy this collection as well as your recent blazer thread. Menswear checks are my favourite suiting and I love the idea of cropped flares in it. But they are even less practical for my lifestyle and climate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-angie-my-plaid-suits#post-2171543 Fri, 12 Feb 2021 20:30:43 +0000 Sloper 2171543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with your thought process - and these plaids are just right!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-angie-my-plaid-suits#post-2171539 Fri, 12 Feb 2021 20:24:33 +0000 Anonymous 2171539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning plaid pants, Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-angie-my-plaid-suits#post-2171535 Fri, 12 Feb 2021 20:13:47 +0000 Tanya 2171535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Slim Cat!&nbsp; Purple is my favorite color, and I am always gravitating towards it.</p> <p>JAileen, you are very sweet, thanks.&nbsp; I am planning to start posting outfit photos again once I start going back to the office/places.&nbsp; I have been working from home since March 2020, and I prefer to be in lounge wear when home, so there isn't anything to post these days.</p> <p>Angie, those pants are spectacular on you.&nbsp; It would be awesome if we found a matching jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-angie-my-plaid-suits#post-2171534 Fri, 12 Feb 2021 20:05:47 +0000 Angie 2171534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wouldn't it be fun if I had the jacket to match the new plaid pants you found for me, sweet <b>Tanya</b>!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-angie-my-plaid-suits#post-2171528 Fri, 12 Feb 2021 19:11:18 +0000 JAileen 2171528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! &nbsp;I wish you still posted photos. &nbsp;I bet these look fab on you. &nbsp;My fave is the double breasted houndstooth.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-angie-my-plaid-suits#post-2171524 Fri, 12 Feb 2021 18:58:06 +0000 slim cat 2171524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful collection- love purple jacket ( fab color ) ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-angie-my-plaid-suits#post-2171517 Fri, 12 Feb 2021 18:29:59 +0000 Tanya 2171517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Lisa! Glad you share my fondness from cropped flares.&nbsp; &nbsp;I have to admit that cropped flares are the last new trendy pant cut that showed up ( 5 or so years ago, or was it perhaps more?) , that I truly like.&nbsp; &nbsp;Everything else that showed up later ( wide legs, pleats, 80's styles etc.) I either straight rejected, or am wearing a little (like wide crops), but more on a fringe.&nbsp; &nbsp;I have been waiting for a new pant style that I really like for a while, but nothing so far, so cropped flares it is when I want something a bit different. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-angie-my-plaid-suits#post-2171515 Fri, 12 Feb 2021 18:17:02 +0000 Anonymous 2171515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those VB suits are fantastic !
