What a gorgeous suit! I especially love it with the juicy brights and imagine it will fit seamlessly into your wardrobe and palette.

Wonderfull silhouette!

Thanks for the kind words, everyone!


Appreciate the lovely compliments Roxanna, Helena, and Irina! Thanks for chiming in.

Cee, honoured to be compared with super stylish Sam and Jo

LJP, that’s high praise - thank you! Since it’s wet in Seattle many days of year, I won’t wear these in the pouring rain - but drizzle is fine. Because if I wear my boots with the low heels, the hems are a quarter inch off the ground. Keeps hems dry. That’s my suggestion to you! With the loafers - the pants are perfect puddle length. Best in dry weather

Suz, Slim Cat, and Kelly, more high praise from you three sweet people, and I’m blushing! That fluidly tailored draped neckline on the AllSaints top is the bomb. Genuis. I’m thrilled with it! Sam and Jo thank you too.

Mirjana, you like brown too! I can see you in a similar brown suit.

Star, Sam and Jo make me look good

Olive Green, HAH! Nicely said.

Janet, that’s very sweet! Please try on the AllSaints mesh top when it pops back in your size. I love the slate-black one for you.

Gryffin, I share you love for impeccable Theory garments! Like you, I have several that work well and wear like iron. I hope we are top twinsies. And of course, you get how important it is to have your style work with your doggies

Brooklyn, I knew you would adore the browns and that #10 and #11 would be your faves! No surprises! Our colour palettes are colliding Go Team Big Wide Puddle Pants! Sam and Jo send tail wags and kisses back. xo

Carol, you’re right about the retro palettes. Please have fun with those too!

Dee, monitor colours differs, don’t they? The suit is quite a neutral dark chocolate brown - not too warm or cool. Not taupe either. It has a pretty false plain chevron texture. Thanks for the encouragement!

Indigoprint, yes! Both tops work with my new tall boots. Well spotted.

Lana, you get how a school uniform can kill a colour

Kkards, I’m alive and kicking! Rest assured - changed yet just the same. I will never give up my brights, whites, and blues. They are part of my style soul. Thanks for the cheerleading. Plus, I’ll wear my bubblepink coat over the brown suit.

Val, it’s a fun change!

Kyle, mesh tops - when they work - are magical items! Please try these too. They can work well in AZ.

I really like the shape of the blazer Angie. As far as the colour, I don’t see brown? I see grey on my phone screen. Particularly in pic 3 where the trousers seem to match the grey parts of Sam or Jo, whichever pup that one is! Your mesh top is pretty.
We’re allowed to change our preferences right? I’m glad I didn’t get put off the colour of my high school uniform because much of it was yellow! The blazer and skirt were brown though. It was the 70s!

Oh my goodness Angie! You are killing me (and it!) with your mesh tops, brown suit, adorable poses and megawatt smile! Wow, I just love all of these smashing looks. And feel compelled to mention that I chose brown as my color of the year !

WONDERFUL choices to embrace brown. I think the pattern really makes it work - somehow I can’t picture you wearing a solid chocolate brown but with a pattern like this, yes! Love the mesh top especially, and the joy that comes through in these photos.

Thanks so much everyone!

JenniNZ, it's a very brown suit in person! YES, we reserve the right to change our mind, don't we - keeps things interesting. Glad you weren't put off your school uniform colours

Jaime, such high praise, and I'm blushing! Glad I'm doing your colour of the year proud.

Kari, dead right about the addition of the patterns! Makes the brown more Playful, which is a style adjective I aspire to.

Just stunning, Angie! So happy that you've rediscovered and embraced brown. Guess who also owns that same All Saints mesh shirt? LOL! I bought the shirt to breathe new life into an old Club Monaco pinstripe suit.

A feast for the eyes, I adore the new suit and top which looks like it is an Alexander McQueen print. Glad it all is puppy proof; your doggies are adorable.

ND - so fun that you and Angie are top twins, it will be gorgeous on you too.

Nuancedream, wooohooooo! Fun to be mesh top twinsies with you! Gorgeous with your complexion, and an effective suit update.

Bijou, thanks for the kind words! You get that pups are everything

Wow, You have skyscraper legs in that suit! ...but our Angie in full earthy AND DARK browns??? Skies are falling!!! I have to admit I never thought it would happen !:-) Your choc mesh top is my jam (was always loving those shades for me) and looks fab on You!! Does it have some blacks, too-pun intended!:) I love bl&browns in a print -and yours is really an art, indeed! I say, the one thing that makes all the difference are the cream shoes(and/or other bright accessories). Love all the stylings, coral is another great color with deep browns!

My favorite part of this is your big smile! That’s a clear clue that you’ve found something wonderful And Sam and Joe,

Lyn67, thanks for making me laugh! I appreciate the support and compliments

Barbara Diane, Sam and Jo make me smile, and look good

Angie guest starring on Duck Dynasty:

" Well, you join me in the lovely swampy place where we're looking for de quack-quackens... but NO boom-booms this time ! Just de OTHER kind of nature pictures we be taking ! "

* Angie starts slowly sinking *

" Oooh... Well, poopen... It appears I have vergissem to have lopen onto de drijfzand sinky ground ! "

* Camera pans down with Angie as she continues sinking up to her waist, but still somehow managing to smile brightly *

Oh well... At de browns I am wearing at least doesn't clash with de swampy mucky-muck ! "

* Sam and Jo throw Angie a lasso, grit their fangs and dig their paws in *

" Ja, ' Do de wildlife filmen ' they said... ' It'll be fun and rewarding, ' they said ! ...Ze liegen, by Coco !! "

I didn't see this before you linked it in today's post. I'm sorry I did! You look fabulous! Loving the mesh and loving the chocolate brown.

I'm glad you recovered from your school your uniform and I think Sam and Jo are quite happy with your color choices. Brown can be quite grounding and with those two beautiful tops, you make everything come alive! It's funny. The Cleveland Browns team colors are brown and orange and I've had a love-hate relationship with those colors. But, as you show, it can work beautifully and I love the suit with its '80s and '40s vibes going. It's inspiring to see you make a change and go for it.

Gorgeous. Way to embody elegance without forfeiting the signature Angie fun quotient. I feel you on change; it seems to be this year’s focus for quite a few of us.

That brown is interesting as the stock photo reads more brown and your photos have more charcoal in them on my phone screen. Maybe a technical anomaly. I know grays are usually not your tones.

You always look lovely but this suit with the top and sunglasses…..looking very cool indeed.

My school uniform was dark green,l still haven’t recovered.

Zoeygirl, thanks for chiming in!

Eliza and Vicki, always gracious, kind, postive and lovely. You are inspirational

Cee, good thing Sam and Jo threw that lasso!

Cardiff Girl, I'm all for school uniforms! The only way kids should go to school. Yet we seem to need a recovery period

I saw the Bear Grylls episode where he demonstrated how to get out of quicksand without any help. It's amazingly easy if you're moderately fit and most importantly DON'T PANIC.

Most people who get stuck just did all the wrong things at the time.

I'm swooning; please fan me. That suit! Those tops, especially the AllSaints one! YLF. Makes me want to live my imaginary life.

Go, AC! I'm glad you got over your aversion to brown.

That is a beautiful suit and I love your stylings. Yay for brown being available again.

Thanks, everyone! Appreciate the kind compliments and giggles

Wow! I love your brown. I am hoping to find a pants suit with pull on pants in brown velvet. I have dark brown eyes so it is a good color if warm. My brown eyes are rimmed with gold.

I hope you find your brown suit, Joy!

My goodness, stunning all around, Angie! This suit is SO great on you--the proportion and silhouette are spot on for where your style is at this moment. Polished, ladylike, current. Not prim. In charge, capable and ready, but not the "power" look. You wear jackets beautifully, and this fitted, shorter jacket with the wider pleated high-waist trousers is just the best!

Here it is, sports fans ! Just follow the Bear

Sharan, that is very high praise and I’m blushing. Thank you so much!
