Ms. M influenced by Angie & RL

I have been sick and homebound. Ms. M thought to cheer me up today with this closet remix. Do you see an Angie and Ralph Lauren influence? Ms. M has to have some metallic and shine. That's why we are besties.

*Ms. M is my mannequin/dress form who raids my closet for outfits but does not clean up after herself.

I see the influence White jeans, pearls, loafers, shirt, denim jacket - I’m humbled.

Love the layered mix of light colors and subtle stripes and shine here. I can't pick a shoe both are equally lovely with this outfit. The gold bag is the perfect finishing touch. Hope you're feeling better soon!

Love it. As I am almost recovered from covid (yes mild because vaccinated) I've been spending a lot of time going through closets and drawers.

Love that gold bag!

Fun - I like the mix of the tough denim and chain bag and the white is very Angie coded . Get well soon!

Thank you all for the get better wishes!

Angie - As they say...imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Lisa - Thanks. I think I will save the bow sneakers for a festive outing. Might be a bit much for anything else.
Does the bag appear gold? Must be the lighting. The bag is silver.

MsMaven - So glad to hear that you are recovering. Do you plan to make a post on how much you were able to declutter?
I do not currently have Covid but have had it in the past. Right now I have a bad hacking cough and congestion. Fortunately, nothing major but irritating when you can't even enjoy a good laugh that's not interrupted by a coughing fit.

Jaime - I added that chain to the bag. It was originally a necklace I found in an antique store. Everytime I tried to style an outfit with it, I felt like I was about to grab a mic and bust some rhymes. However, that tough element appealed to me. Then it dawned on me to use it as a shoulder strap!

AJ, I've been thinking about it, especially in light of other posters' analysis of their last year's purchases. I've fallen into the trap of buying too much stuff on sale.

Star - Yes, looks like these symptoms are what's going around lately. Coughs always seem to take forever to go away.

So here is the original inspiration photo from Loft. So my illness has affected my copycat accuracy.

I prefer yours. And copycats are not supposed to be identical, just inspirational :).

What a cool outfit, AJ. And how fun that Ms. M can provide you with some great inspiration. I love the fancy bow sneakers! I definitely see the RL and AC influences.
