How I want to dress when I grow up...aspirational style realized..yay!

nancylee

Ok, this outfit is probably the closest I've ever come to my aspirational style. Sleek tunic over slouchy silk trousers and a great bag. Simple but elegant. This feels like where I want to be right now. And it's cool for the coming summer months....

#1 - Madewell tunic, Eileen Fisher silk trousers, Perlina bag, and black kitten heels.

#2 - same but a better shot of my new (love!) bag

Absolutely every single item! I would not have guessed this would be your aspirational style. Very interesting (!)

This rings completely true, Nancy. It's modern, but there's an arty/ boho vibe to it, too. How wonderful to feel you are meeting your style goals!

Thanks, Shannon...the more I carry this bag, the more I love it.

Suz, thanks so much for noting that the *arty/boho* vibe still exists in this look. I need to know it's there.

Rachylou, your reaction tells me that there must be a bigger disconnect than I thought between my aspirational style and what I've been posting here. But yup, this is it!

Gorgeous! The shoes are perfect (ok, I am a bit obsessed)! Now purge everything that is not up to this standard (not to say you have anything like that) and you will be in wardrobe nirvana!

Thanks, everyone! The happiness factor with this outfit is high, and your lovely comments are pushing it even higher.

Angie, sign me up for the kingdom. I'll gladly enter its realm.

Beth Ann, 'India meets Manhattan' is great!

Shevia, that's sound advice. I'm actually feeling the need for SYC in order to focus/hone my wardrobe.

I just love this look but have yet to find a way to wear it successfully. You look elegant.

Great inspiration for me! It is a very cool, elegant look on you. Like Rachylou, I wouldn't have guessed your aspiration style, either, but you look very relaxed and confident.

I have always identified your style as being similar to that of myself, Caro, Diane G, Joy and our other elegant eclectics, so this does not suprise me at all. In fact I think you are just now perhaps entering into the fullness of the elegant eclectic. This outfit is lovely.

Do those trousers feel as gorgeous as they sound?
Fantastic to find an outfit that has an aura of relaxed comfort about it and yet is right on trend! YLF!

Hey there, fellow EE! you look stunning Nancy. I hope you reach nirvana soon, you are certainly well on your way now
I like the interesting seam details on your tunic and your trousers sound so comfy. And your bag, I think, will be a stylish workhorse by the sounds of it.
