WIW...inspired by WAngieW yesterday...

I apologize for popping in and out and being sporadic with comments. I love it here so much but every time I sit down to post or reply I end up rushing off in another direction...

So yesterday I was reading Sveta's post about JCrew sweaters. Angie has a few replies, but in one of them she comments on what she's wearing that day (yesterday):http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....o-consider

I have an immediate lightbulb moment as I picture how fab she must look! Blue with black! Light belt & boots with black bottoms! Ah! I could do something like this!

So today I met some friends for lunch, and pushed myself a little out of my comfort zone by pairing Blue with Black, and then pushed myself a little further by adding white belt & booties. How did I do? My friend was gushing over my boots so mustn't've been too bad? I felt pretty good. The pants are a local designer and are made of a sort of thick knit material. I rarely wear them, but am vowing to put them into more regular rotation. They are as comfy as sweats!!

Top - Costco (!)
Pants - JAC Jacqueline Conoir
Belt - Fossil
Booties - Bocage

Hah. I'm flattered, and you look divine, Jackie. Really fun to see you in trousers. Trendy change.

I popped the outfit I was wearing yesterday - the one Jackie is referring to - into a collection, FYI:

Oh wow - very cool - thanks Angie! I need to play around with the Finds feature. This is super helpful.

Carole

Wow, Jackie, love it! Blue and black is such a great color combo, especially with the light shoes! YLF!

This looks great on you! Light shoes with dark pants is out of my comfort zone as well. I think you pull it off well here. The light belt and the lighter cuffs on your sleeves make it work, to my eye.

I'll add the pieces visually here too:

Jackie, this is a great outfit - but what else could it be when it was inspired by Angie?
Interestingly I don't have a problem pairing light footwear with dark pants -it the way around for me: I find it hard pairing black footwear with white or light pants...

Karie

Very nice! I do have a hard time pairing light footwear with dark pants, and will now have to push myself out of my dark shoe comfort zone. You look fantastic!

You look great Jackie, surprise surprise :). How clever of you to take a written description of an outfit and make it yours. I might be copying this myself... :).

Jaime

Looks great! The belt really ties in the shoes beautifully.

Suz

Sensaational, Jackie! I love your interpretation and I love how your outfit sparked Angie to show us the original! So fun!

Love this look, Jackie! How ingenious, to copycat a look from the description alone!

Well done! I'm so impressed with your ability to take a description and pull it together...I am such a visual person that if I cannot see it, I cannot imagine it. Much less put it together and pull it off so stylishly!

You look very sharp & it's always nice when offline friends give compliments.

Deb

A comfortable look that suits you. Even more impressed by your kitchen!! It's beautiful!

Gail

Absolutely love it.

I love it, Jackie!! Such a fab nonchalant vibe. I love the fit of the trousers, adore the white booties and belt (excellent touch), and that shade of blue is so fantastic on you.
