WIW: Sharp Shouldered & Suited

With lots of softness and a '70s flavour

Colour inspiration is from a dear client who was inspired by Trinny Woodall!

I wear my burgundy suit A LOT. In different ways. LOVE THE FIT AND QUALITY! Flared pants and shorter blazer = WINNER for me. I wish I had the same suit in a plaid or sour bright.

Wear the suit to work with clients. It's a VERY easy and comfy outfit!

10 year old citron turtleneck. Not a hint of pilling! Wish J.Crew made things the way they used to......

I also wear the suit pants as separates. Perfect colour match with a '70s sharp shouldered pleather jacket that cost me $40 a few years ago, and the quality is superb!

Wore the '70s jacket with the pants and citron support act to a fancier birthday party last week.

Wear my old citron cocoon coat over suits and jackets quite a bit. My favourite coat of all time! It's cold on foot outside and I need to wrap up!

Citron Pom Pom crossbody because I must be hands-free, and I like to match.

White boots....well....because it's my thing....

Wavy hair doing its own soft thing.

Sam and Jo always curious and close-by!

Hubs Greg does NOT like puffy sleeves. If I showed him this '70s jacket off my body - he would have discouraged me from trying it. But as soon as I put it on - he loved it! Now I only show Greg puffy sleeved items ON MY BODY

Thanks for looking! xo

wow!

Tanya

Wow! You look spectacular! I would have never thought of putting those two colors together, yet they look amazing on you. I have the same suit, and have worn in much more predictable way: with white, blush, pale blue, and browns. ** Waving to Sam & Jo**.

Bonnie

Love your burgundy and citron outfits! Your legs look a mile long in those flare pants.

Joy,

bonnie, it's the high rise and tucked top that makes my legs look long!

Tanya, my suit twin. Love that, and Sam and Jo are send snuggles back

Runcarla

I don’t pick up on silouhette’s so well, but colours have resonance for me, and I love colourful outfits like this that are full of positive energy. Dynamic and dynamite!

Jaime

Gasp! I can't say this is one of my favorites of yours, only because I feel that list is already too long to be meaningful. These combinations are truly awesome. Love the flared silhouette (I actually pulled out a very old denim suit and wore the flared jeans yesterday!). The color combination is amazing - yes it does remind me of Trinny but it is also very Angie! Greg is quite right to only appreciate your jacket when it is properly styled on you . Jo and Sam may not match but they always go!

Suz

Stunning!! WOW!

I love this so much. What a fun and entirely unexpected colour combo -- but it works amazingly well! Love every rendition. The flares are amazing on you -- your legs look a hundred miles long. So interesting that Greg does not like the idea of puffy sleeves but likes them on you. It makes sense, in a way -- they do seem a bit much off a body. Sort of standing up there on their own the way they do...

I. can't believe the pleather jacket is such a great match. Brilliant shopping and wardrobe management over the years.

LJP

This is all just fabulous. What a great package of pieces that work together so well. Wish I had your talent for this!

Brooklyn

Drop dead gorgeous!!! I can see the Trinny everything-looks-better-with-neon influence. Your hair looks fab too.

I think this suit is my favourite outfit of yours. And the pinstripe suit. Do you still have that?

Bijou

I die!

I wish VB did more of these suits for you as well - it is stunning on you and a fabulous colour combination with the citron.

MsMaven

Gorgeous suit and wow! the color combination is so great on you.

Paging through NYT fashion section this morning--I saw very sharp-shouldered suit jackets.

The pleather jacket combination makes me swoon!!
Love the wavy hair, but I am biased in that department.
Angie, if you ever start your modeling agency, you should be the star talent!

jussie

You look amazing. Very beautiful and sharp.

slim cat

Gorgeous looks - just wow!

anchie

Wow, you look fantastic in this, your legs look miles long. Can’t decide if I like better suit or leather jacket. I may steal the idea for color combination:)

Olive Green

Your hair looks perfect. Soft and happy and the colour is warm.
The pleather jacket is just right with this, the shoulders seem to frame your face.
The dang dogs are so cute.

bella

Gorgeous suit and suits you to a T.
I used to own a burgundy pleather jacket in the 2000s and loved it to pieces! Yours is looking fabulously 70s.

Vildy

Love how you have both the sharp and puff shoulder options to extend this great look.

Dee

Stop it Angie! Its just TOO much Fabness!!
My goodness, I adore everything!

ChristelJ

Two of my favorites together, the puffed sleeves and the flares, sublime! Modern 70s the way you do it is fantastic. I also appreciate the longevity of some of your items.

Anonymous

Love that suit on you- and what a great color combo!

April

Chuckling at the wisdom of your "husband husbandry".

Smashing outfit!

Irina

Looks fantastic, Angie. And what an unexpected color combination!
It makes burgundy look fresh!

RobinF

Wow, gorgeous! I love that puffed shoulder jacket! It is like two suits in one!

unfrumped

Super fab!
I can’t believe how the pleather jacket matches.

WOW! Thank you for the awfully kind and generous words. I'm blushing

Adore that even if the colour combination is not your thing, that you can appreciate it on others who enjoy wearing it with a happy heart. Like me.

I don't have long legs. They are regular length. Yet when I wear flares with a high rise and tucked top - my legs extend, even in a one inch heel. It's visual trickery!

YES! The pleather jacket was a very lucky perfect colour match. I LOVE that little jacket

Lucky to find a VB suit with a short jacket. 99% are long, and not my preference.

Brooklyn, to answer your question I passed on the pinstripe burgundy suit. This one has replaced it, and then some. There is only room for one burgundy suit!

Fun to hear I have team mates on Team '70s, Team Flares, Team Puffy Sleeves, Team Shorter Jackets, Team Burgundy, Team Pleather Jackets, and Team Pants Suit!

I'll be back! I have a busy week.

I feel a need to break into your house. Scale your building like Spiderman. Hehe, KAPOW Looks!

kkards

Love the suit! And the leather jacket with it is inspired. I’m able to appreciate the yellow, even if I’m not quite a fan, sorry.

CarolS

Wow! I love burgundy with orange but hadn't really considered it with yellow. You carry off the look beautifully!

I don't have a burgundy topper, but you inspire me to see if I can pull something similar together with my burgundy pleather pants and bright yellow sweater....
