OOTD: Silky Neon

Fashion Stylist

This is what I'm wearing to wear at home, run to the post office, and walk Sam today!

The state of Washington continues to be shut down. Our stay at home order was extended to May 31st. My haircut is pushed out till June 5th. 4 MONTHS since my last cut and colour. Quite the record

You know my stay at home style drill.....

I have been up since 4.45am. Had my first meeting about my Dad with the Netherlands and London at 5.30am. Things are tricky with Dad, unfortunately. But onward, and one day at a time! I am positive.

I am reminded by how much I LOVE to wear an impeccable silk blouse with trendy jeans. It feels sooooo good, and is soooooo easy! I would like another classic blouse like this. Really suits this leg of my style journey.

I chose an 8 year old J.Crew jacket to top things off because of their bankruptcy news today.

I LOVE neon! Bright non-neutrals have a very positive, soothing and energizing effect on me. It's why I don't wear black and grey, and I hope that makes sense. Horses for courses. Always.

At-home-only sneakers and blush bag to match. Blush is neutral in my wardrobe. I wear a mask outside.

This will be my last quarantine outfit post for a little while. I’ve been at it for 7 or 8 weeks. Sam and I are on a modeling break

Thanks for looking! xo

Great outfit - I love a silk blouse with jeans too!

And yes time to switch it up given the stress you are under with your Dad. Take care - thinking of you!

I've always loved that silk blouse on you- it's great to see how you remix your items. Thanks so much for doing the daily outfit posts- it's been such a bright spot every day! Very much appreciated, and I completely understand the need to take a break from them.

Seeing your daily outfits has been a wonderful treat but understand your need for a break. I've been really inspired by your use of color and have been adding more to my wardrobe. I love your pinks, blues, and yellows and this outfit is terrific.

What Bonnie said. Sweet Sam steals the spotlight. He needs a citron collar. You look amazing in spite of the stress. Except for dog walks, I am still staying put and thankful for on-line distractions and spring weather, from beautiful to hail and snow storms. Never a dull moment.

I’m not a dog person , but your little Sam is the sweetest boy ever . And thank you SO much for your outfit photos this past month or two . Can’t believe this has been our reality for this long now . This silk blouse is so luxurious yet fun - something to keep in mind for my own wardrobe . And although I can’t envision the wide cuff jean look on me , it sure looks great on you ! Hang in there with your hair - one more month ! ( it’ll be in a mini ponytail by then )

I can't believe it has been so long. Sorry about your hair appointment, although I can only applaud the caution of your city and state. You still look stunning and you have done more than enough to inspire us with your lock down style. Enjoy your modeling break!

So pretty! I love how red cuffs of the silk shirt work together with wide cuffs of the jeans - genius pairing!

Favorites: 7, 11, 21-22. Wait! All of these feature Sam! I love the silk blouse. Such energy you have with your photos! I would fall over with some of those poses. Please take a rest and relax, you have earned it.

Well you ended up with a bang! So gorgeous on you. Sad news about JCrew... I am glad you have this gorgeous coat. One of my favourite coats was an Angie JCrew recommendation - I am going to have to make sure I treasure it.

Dearest Angie,
You look great, and you have almost single handedly been filling the WIW tiles. So understand the need for a break, and thinking and praying for you and your dear dad.

So pretty- and aww Sam Sorry it's been so hard on you with your dad, and wish you could be there with him! Blush is a good neutral, since it's sort of a "nude" for light skin!

Holy cow, Angie, that's a lot of weeks in lockdown. And yet you're still hanging in there, and looking really good doing it.

Wow, its hard to believe we’ve been locked down for that long, thank you so much sharing your lockdown looks, you’ve provided a ray of sunshine in this otherwise dismal time

I can't bear neon but I adore your love for bright colors! And little Sam Sam... there are no words.

Good thoughts to Papa Angie - I don't know what's tricky for him in particular but I can imagine. So many of us are trying to help elderly parents stay safe and it's not easy, is it. They do resist change with a fierce energy. And if there are siblings, that gets tricky/sticky too.

Stay strong. We love you!

What a lovely outfit again, I could never get tired of your wiw's and you know it saddened me you won't post more of them!:-(

Then, even if it wasn't ever beyond my budget (and neither available where I live) am sorry to hear about JCrew's bankruptcy, too.

This all pandemic situation is so very challenging for all of us but countries isolating themselves is something I could have never imagined to happen. Still, you're such a good daughter, really- and hope things will be sorted soon around your dear Papa- just keep your head up and stay positive, please!

That Is such a great shirt for your color palette.
I am sorry about difficulties with you dad. My dear MIL and FIL are separated from each other and all visitors by the lockdowns and things are uncertain. Don’t know how that can be all right if goes on much longer.

As always, all the details are so spot on, Angie!! The blush sneakers echoing the blush in that stunning blouse. How your specs match the darker colour in your blouse too. I also still absolutely adore those wide cuffs on your jeans, and agree that these silk blouses are amazing!!

Thank you again for posting your stay-at-home outfits so regularly these last weeks. I always found them uplifting, and they made me smile, no matter how good are bad my day was going.

Love you my sweet friend, and hang in there with your Papa!

I absolutely love that shirt and those jeans on you. You have been a source of joy and light posting all your fab outfits for weeks now, so I’d say you deserve a break if you feel it’s time to take one. Maybe some other fab dressers on the forum can pick up on the WIW posts to keep us going! I’ll try to contribute even though my outfits are not happy and bright like yours and undoubtedly do not have the same effect!

You are a model of lockdown style. I know you have extra stress than that right now so I'm glad you're taking a break from modeling. Self care is of the utmost importance right now.

ChristelJ

Veteran

What a delightful run of style fabness you have given us so generously! Good idea to take a break now so it doesn't become a burden. I am wishing the best possible outcome for your dad. So hard to be so far. Also, I am a huge fan of those jeans, and the entire outfit exudes energy and loveliness all at once.

You have been such an inspiration over these weeks of lockdown, but I understand that you need a break - you totally deserve it!

I am sorry to hear you are having to navigate your dad's situation from so far away (and at such an early hour). Hope you get some relaxing Angie-time soon. Sending you the biggest air hugs xx

Thanks for taking the time to post your outfits.its a lot of work/time...you need a break.

You look adorable. I love the color and style of your silk blouse!
I’m hoping the Papa’s are doing so much better and you can catch an emotional break.
We decided it was time to see our family...mental health for all...and took a trip to California for a family swim BBQ party at the family home. It was Glorious! A much needed meeting of hugs , sun , food and fun. Life is short, even my 86 yr. old dad and his girlfriend decided to be there, kids , grand kids. It was so needed. We all feel much better emotionally. We needed to connect.
i hope you can hug your Papa soon!

I wish things were better for your dad. Managing things at a distance is so, so difficult.
Thanks for keeping things going for us, and sending good thoughts.

That shirt is fantastic and I love your bright happy colors, as always. Thanks for a long run of quarantine cheer!

I love the masculine integrity of that dress shirt contrasted with the curved print & silky material - YLF! As for your dad, 'add oil' (as we say in Hong Kong)!

You look trendy and bright. Sam, though, looks like he might be over the modeling.

I'm sorry things have been so hard with your dad, and look forward to the day when you can finally go see him.
