WIW - The Graphic Print Jacket in Action

I really have no right to post this WIW, my activity here has been sparse to say the least but I wished to show you all my first WIW with the geo print jacket you all so kindly provided your opinions on.

The occasion was a colleagues 40th birthday at a local restaurant (which proved to be very surreal with tambourines and belly dancing and sexual innuendo with a bamboo stick)

The details:
Jacket: Next
Trousers: Phase Two
Cami: Sparkle and Fade
Shoes: Sacha
Handbag: Cuero

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Quick!! Somebody grab the smelling salts. I just know Angie is going to faint, and we need to save her.

This is stunning!!! And if there were any doubt about you and this pattern in my mind, you've completely obliterated it here! What a fab outfit.

You had me with the white trousers

Oh yes! I see a little style evolution: modern, crisp and simple. Right up my alley.

Gorgeous! Please post any time. Apart from the great jacket, I love the fit of the trousers and the drape of the shirt.

Hahaha, I remember being on the fence about this bold pattern (NOT that I disliked the jacket, ever). And it looks fantastic on you! Wow. And glad that the 40th b-day was cause for raucous celebration!

This is gorgeously vibrant, modern, and yet still simple. Perfect choice!

Of course you have a right to post your WIW, you silly girl

This is just lovely - that jacket is amazing on you. Such a polished but still a wee bit edgy outfit.

Incredible! And you always have the right to post a WIW, regardless of your forum activity or lack thereof. I hope you post MORE WIWs soon.

I see I am not the only person for whom the word "stunning" came to mind

Louise

Amazing!
I'm inspired to use my white jeans for 'going out'. I've had them a couple of years but rarely worn them as I always worry I'll get them dirty but using them in the evenings would be perfect x

Lovely. I have been looking forward to seeing this jacket on action. I am so glad you bought it. This is a great look. What season is it ink the UK? My only comment is the footwear looks a little heavy for what looks like a Spring outfit, but really that is a minor details and only my opinion. I think this is a wonderfully modern and fresh look.

Oh Suz, thank you, your comments on the jacket were really important, you articulated my doubts at the time so well. It is lovely to see you think the jacket works in this instance.

Hedgiehog, Suz is a legend and thank you for the kind words.

Mo, Ceit, Pil,Rachylou, Deb, MaryK, Beth Ann, Kelly, Scarlet I am grinning from ear to ear.

Angie, I am not completely at home with this new style yet, baby steps, but it feels good and I knew you wold notice the handbag. Gotta love a free trend.

Shevia, these trousers are nearly ten years old, I can't quite believe they still fit.

Mochi, raucous was not the word it was possibly the most surreal experience of my whole life.

Shannon, I think we all like a wee bit of edge.

Ariadne, thank you for the encouragement about posting WIW's

Louise, I wear my white trousers mostly in the evening as my daytime activities are dirt magnets.

Deborah, I think you are right, it is spring in the UK but it also the coldest March for a century and there is still snow on the ground. I will be happy to trade for some of your sunshine!

Gorgeous, Julie! I love how the darker top looks with the white bottoms, with the light color in the print picking up. Your hair has gotten quite long hasn't it!It's looking lovely.

Oh yes! I fainted and did need the smelling salts Suz kindly provided.

Btw, I'm finally missing my skirts and dresses - so I'm on a teeny weeny style evolution too. Although I'm shopping my closet for the look. Hence my Happy Skirt is being worn a lot these days. Tweaking your style each season is part of the fun :). Love to see you mess around with geometric graphic fabness and pull it off to perfection.

You look gorgeous. That jacket was a terrific addition to your closet.
