Had a cooler start to the Seattle week. Busted out some blue and pink lightweight jeans instead of my usual one of 3 Summer outfit formulas. Hot again today - so I'm back in a summery co-ord!

Outfit #1 - Equestrian-Lite

RL horsey-blouse with blue BF jeans, cognac support act, and orange bag. New cognac NAS mules! Super comfy and an unexpected wildcard purchase. Had an old belt to match. THIS is the right brown for my footwear and accessories. Orange-y brown New initial necklace in action.

Outfit #2 - Preppy- Lite

Navy and cream striped cotton sweater with a webbing belt to match. Pale pink horseshoe jeans with pink specs and bag to match. Cream loafers are an essential, and the denim jacket went on in the morning.

New Classics (as Ralph Lauren calls them!) one day, and Playful the next. Everyday outfits for work, play, and my regular city life, which is busy

Thanks for looking. xo

I love a super sleek mule, and the suede gives it textural interest. They are perfect on you. And WOW do I love the stark stripe with the blush jeans. So good!

Dee

Veteran

Wonderful updated classic combos. Fresh, fun and as always well coordinated. Horsey combo is so stylishly relaxed with lightwash BF jeans and mules. Love that striped belt with the striped top too.

Roberta, the suede of the mule amps up the comfort level too! Stripes are versatile Thanks for the kind words!

Dee, I have an affection for the classics. RL does them most suited to my sartorial preferences. The striped match is fortuitous! Appreciate the compliments.

Outfit 1--I am getting such a Laurel Canyon vibe--I like it. I think it's the uber-American faded jeans with the faded leather.

Outfit 2--love the pink bag on pink jeans! I feel like if I wore that, I would have a spring in my step.

Wonderful blouse with jeans, love, love so much. You hair is very nic , romantic. I also like striped outfit, great classic but on modern way. You look stunning Angie.

Preppy Lite sent me rocketing up to Cloud 9! Pink balloon jeans and stripes. Now that’s my kind of preppy! And the equestrian blouse brings happy memories. Wonderful, wonderful outfits!

Kyle

The mules! They are so new and fresh for you, and fab with the belt and blouse. Then, your next outfit with both a striped top and striped belt? Doubly chic! You’re ready for the next RL catalog.

I love how your new NAS items seamlessly integrate into your wardrobe. And how fun you can sport things right away!

Of course, the equestrian inspired look is my favorite. The new mules pair so well with that blouse. Simply superb!

The horseshoe shape jeans are such a fun shape and really jazz up the classic striped top and jeans formula. They are such a great item in your wardrobe!

And the lighting in your loft is fantastic for WIW photos!

Super looks! Your new loft seems to have a great photo spot for you!

You are reminding me that many years ago I had a pair of absolutely perfect-fitting suede mules that looked a lot like yours — in that same cognac color. I wore them only occasionally, as they were not a color I wore much at the time, and styling them was always a challenge. They sat unworn a lot, and I finally gave them away. I wish I had them now!

I love those new Rag & Bone jeans. I have the featherweight wide legs but darn if you are not making me want that more boyfriend-y cut too!

Gorgeous all around! I love the striped top and belt together--dynamite! And pale pink instead of cream bottoms add a fun twist. I love outfit 1 even more though; the equestrian inspired blouse is fantastic on you, and perfect with the layered necklaces.

Irina

Veteran

Fab!
I love how your belly matches the top in the outfit #2, which is my favorite.

Your hair looks gorgeous!

Ket

Veteran

Those mules are terrific!! I love all of the fun here!

Helena

Love these Angie ... Great colours! I've noticed rolled jeans more lately after seeing it barely at all for a few seasons ... Is this a shift back to this being more common? I always love that look!

Thanks, everyone. Fascinating how faves come through!

Carol, had to google "Laurel Canyon" - and you had me with Christian Bale! I see what you see. Faded jeans with faded leather IS very American. Although I'm not American, the vibe is part of the RL brand, which I love

Mirjana, high fiving your classic sensibilities! Thanks for your always sweet and kind words.

Laura, your positive energy puts me in a good mood! So do fond memories

Kyle, blushing at your kind words! (Hope you find some fab mules too). Since RL is the one company in the US I'd like to work for - that's high praise

Lisa, waving back at my belt twin! And equestrian sisters unite! (Of course, #1 is your fave ) YES to amping up a classic top with on trend or fashion forward bottoms. Belts help too. That's my thing! (Lucky to be back in our loft with perfect light).

Janet, your ex-mules sound fab! Wish you still had them too. HIGHLY recommend the featherweight Rag 'n Bone BF jeans! Size down. And yes - outstanding light here!

Both outfits are plonk- worthy. Effortlessly coordinated & contrasted.

Thanks, Ket! Earth tones make you smile.

Irina, think you might mean belt instead of belly - although maybe I'll start a belly-and-top matching trend Thanks for the hair love!

Sharan, such care and kindness with your observations as always. It's quite touching! Thought you might prefer outfit #2 rather than #1, so aren't you full of fab surprises. Appreciate you!

Helena, thanks! Yes, there is a slight shift to bringing back rolled cuffs - not that it ever went away, though. Ralph Lauren continued to showcase rolled cut jeans and pants, big time. On ROOMIER silhouettes. New Classics - as they call them. I like to roll the hems of my fluid pleated chinos too. Fably '80s!

I'm intrigued by the proliferation of lightweight drapey denim right now- your R&B ones look really great! These are two really pretty Angie looks - and I especially love that striped sweater and matching belt combo - so you and so striking !

So glad you are happily back in your loft and able to treat us to more outfit pics Angie. I admire how you manage to keep your personal style sauce as you play through different moods and silhouettes. And I might have succumb to those mules (but it will be a long time before I actually see them).

Unfrumped, thanks for the chuckle and compliments

LJP, YES! I highly recommend lightweight drapey denim. Both pairs of jeans here are just that, and quite a new thing. Breezy and covered! Appreciate the kind words

Jaime, "personal style sauce" is an awesome expression! Happy to smother my outfits in it. And excited we'll be mule twins!

Angie and Jimi! I have always loved that picture.
Lightweight draped denim sounds perfect for warmer weather. Your loft has amazing light.

I particularly like how the pink pants look with the denim jacket.

These are beautiful!! So fresh and polished!

Ooh, so much fun! First of all, it's amazing how fresh the BF jeans are with your new mules and classic horsey shirt! What a fantastic outfit. I really do love the mules and hope that they will become available in more colours at some point. I can easily see adding a pair of these myself in the right colour or neutral. And yes! They are the perfect warm toned light brown for you.

Love the pink balloon pants. Trendy bottoms take it way beyond preppy and into Angie personal style territory. Plus, the matching bag!

Irina

Veteran

Angie, LOL. Autocorrect and rushing out the door is never a good combination!

Sal

Awesome Angie outfits. Love them both on you. A masterclass in mixing old and new.

Star (Lise)

Fab outfits. The first silhouette is totally for me. The new mules look awesome, especially with the light denim. Love the old belt and how well it matches.

I’m just awed by how soft and pretty your hair looks especially in the close-up in pic 5. I did love your previous pixie (a few years back now, I realise) but maybe I like this even more.
I know you’re not into Kibbe but I might now fall down more rabbit holes wondering what Kibbe image identity you are?!

Sisi

I like the colors and the silhouettes of these two outfits. The pale browns of # 1 suit your complexion and hair very well. Beautiful mules! In # 2 you look like a teenager ! Very pretty with your hair pulled back and in the iconic marine tee. Little Jo (is it she?) as always is perfectly put together and complements the looks.
