Favourite Things Challenge #1: WIW

This outfit is an entry for Mary Beth's "Favourites Things" challenge:

https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....-challenge

Worn to work with a business casual client last week - so I wore business casual too! On my feet running around shopping with a client all day. Outfit goes the distance! Very comfy.

I'm a mood dresser who needs to mix and match as I please. (Which is why the restriction of working within a few tight capsules does not work for me). Woke up that morning and was in the mood for a creative clashing pattern mix. This is what I ended up with.

Ralph Lauren Polo Pants: Favourite dressy white pants!

L'Agence Blouse: One of my favourite silk blouses!

Smythe Jacket: FAVOURITE BLAZER OF ALL TIME!!!

Maeve Belt: FAVOURITE WHITE BELT OF ALL TIME!!!

Paul Green Loafers: Favourite dressy cream loafers!

Pearl Necklace: FAVOURITE!!!

Furla: Favourite white bag!

At least a third of my wardrobe is a favourite. My stuff makes me happy, and I'm grateful for that! I also have ALL TIME FAVOURITES like this blazer and white grommet belt.

Excuse the odd photo taking area in our rented unit with bad light. It is what it is....

Thanks for the fun challenge, Mary Beth! Thanks for looking. xo

What I love about this post, and about you Angie - is the ENTHUSIASM!

I am the one to use ALL the exclamation points, but then I try to discipline myself to go back and edit out a bunch. I love the unbridled enthusiasm for fashion and wearing what you love and enjoying it all!!!

ChristelJ

Your favorites hang together so well! What a delightful outfit. You are in your element with your brights and whites, so beautifully fitted and accessorized.

Mirjana, Dee and Star, thanks for the kind comments! You are always supportive and sweet. Soooo nice!

Sabimct, what a lovely thing to say. Appreciate your enthusiastic appreciation

ChristelJ, you are generous with your words, and I'm blushing!

Suz

Ooooh -- this is a gorgeous sunset outfit! Or a beautiful orange and strawberry sorbet! What a fab mix with the jacket and the shirt! The pants are also fabulous. I love everything about this outfit on you!

slim cat

Bright, happy and mood uplifting ! Love it!

Suz and slim cat, such uplifting and happy reations! Thanks so much! How can I not smile reading them - especially with the reference to sunsets and sorbets. Delightful.

Jaime

Thank you for this delightful sight this morning. I admire how you manage this hectic yet harmonious pattern smash! You look fab!

Brooklyn

What a smashing compilation of favourites! I love the pink and orange together. I think a third of my wardrobe might be favourites too. Then there are favourite favourites…

Sal

Excellent outfit. That's my favourite blazer too - such a stunner on you.

Definitely warm spring colours in action here.

Debbie

Very elegant with the white. You look beautiful as always.

Oh, I love you called it "a creative" clashing pattern mix--and it is exactly that! Of course is done brilliantly in all details! I can't get enough of your color scheme of reds and oranges together here(one of my faves), the accents of cream and whites-the pearls, the coordinated hardware on the shoes, belt and bag-but the quiet sheer glasses and gorgeous hair! Killer!

Staysfit

Angie, I knew you would have a favorite thing outfit! Bright, citrusy, classy, warm and lovely!

Olive Green

That is pure sunshine.

Carol

Well, this has two of MY favorite things, which are pattern on pattern (the blazer and blouse), and loafers that stand out instead of take a back seat. That would be due to the, what is it. Horsebit hardware?

I also really enjoy those clear frames, which I'm lately drawn to. I like how they're simultaneously noticeable and yet don't overwhelm the face.

Mary Beth (formerly LBD)

This is so gorgeous! I love the color and pattern mix, the hardware on your belt (consider me a grommets covert!) and shoes, and your eyeglasses, and the crisp whites. Angie, you are sunshine personified!

Joyce B

Beautiful and fun, so well put together!

Thanks for the kind words, everyone!

Jaime, Debbie and Lyn67, you are very gracious, and it's therapeutic!

Brooklyn, HIGH FIVE! You get me when I say that at least a third of my wardrobe is a fave - and then there are FAVOURITE faves! That's because we love our stuff

Sal, Yay! We have the same favourite blazer! I come alive in Spring

Carol, I love horsey-things, so a big fat YES to horsey hardware!

Staysfit, lovely to see you chime in! And I'm blushing.

Marry Beth, thanks for the delightful challenge, and for being a delight! Your positive energy is all sorts of awesome

Olive Green and Joyce B, that's so nice!

Bonnie

Love your Favorites outfit. The blouse and jacket work brilliantly together and it's perfectly accessorized, too. Favorites for the win!

Firecracker (Sharan)

Wow, gorgeous, Angie. I love those pink specs with this outfit. I had to look back at your previous post about them; I thought they might be new, but see that they are for specific distances, so we don't see them as much as in your WIWs.

Suntiger

Love the orange blouse! I don't think I saw it before.

bonnie, you made me smile!

Sharan, yes, that's exavctly right! Different prescription for different settings. Thanks for the kind words

Suntiger, I showed the forum the blouse with orange and tan pants last year. You might have missed it

SarahD8

This is great! I love the sunset palette and you know I love a good hectic pattern mix. SO good with your natural hair!

MsMaven

So fun and cheerful! This outfit makes me smile, and today is a day I needed a smile.

I am so cautious about mixing patterns. I need to take lessons from you.
