  You look fab, Suz! Now you've reminded me that I can wear my own cashmere hoodie with this ensemble. What a great idea! I really like the black skirt/booties combo with this.

• greenglove replied 10 years ago

  Love this Suz- you are a vision in blue and cream.
  The skirt fits so well- I have the same one!
  Love those Zara booties!

• Golden replied 10 years ago

  The colors in your outfit are great! Love the skirt and the booties

• Lisa replied 10 years ago

  This outfit echos today's ensemble perfectly, and it looks nice and cozy too.

• Emily replied 10 years ago

  Love this take on today's ensemble!  What I notice is how very fab you look in a not-conventionally-flattering midi skirt, "bare" legs, and higher-cut booties.  Do the booties have a bit of height to the shaft, or are you wearing socks?  Either way, it looks a bit edgy and very 2014 to me.

• Angie replied 10 years ago

  Wow. Very 2014. Killer. 

  You nailed it the Suz way. I love how your specs bookend your booties. Brilliant look. Rock on special lady. xo

• carter replied 10 years ago

  Very nice! Love that blouse on you too...what a great color!

• AviaMariah replied 10 years ago

  I love the blue color of your blouse and how you've added the booties. :)

• Mo replied 10 years ago

  Funny, I was just thinking, I don't really have a bomber to do this . . . and here you are subbing beautifully.  Love that you are getting so much wear from the hoodie!  

• kellygirl replied 10 years ago

  This is perfect, Suz! I'm taking notes. YLF!

• Erikajl replied 10 years ago

  I'm so glad to see how a midi can actually look great IRL. You look terrific.

• rae replied 10 years ago

  Totally awesome!! Hey, I think the hoodie may add some of the edge you had been wanting in your style without going too drapey/avant garde. Just a thought - regardless, love this whole look on you!

• Neel replied 10 years ago

  Wow!! Hoodie and midi :) ... Gorgeous outfit! Are you wearing socks Suz?

• Suz replied 10 years ago

  Thank you all! It is a fun outfit to wear -- as comfy as PJs (except for having to wear nude hose....)

  Emily, Neel -- these are not socks. The booties (from Zara) have a neoprene top to them. 

  Rae, that's an interesting insight about the hoodie. Hmmmm. 

• texstyle replied 10 years ago

  Looks great Suz!  I agree with rae about the slight edge of the hoodie with this outfit.

• replied 10 years ago

  What a fab version of todays ensemble. You look great!

• merwoman replied 10 years ago

  Smashing look! Hip and comfy...and flattering, it's a winner :-)

• Karie replied 10 years ago

  Wow - I LOVE your version of today's ensemble post. That kitty print J.Crew blouse is gorgeous, and the hoodie looks fantastic with your outfit. I also bookend with my glasses - although I forgot to swap them out today, so it's brown glasses with black footwear *sigh* hopefully the second graders won't notice!

• Debra replied 10 years ago

  You look fabulous, a great outfit. I love the way the hoodie softens this look and those booties are stunning :)

• Sarah A replied 10 years ago

  Great intrpretation of Angie's formula. Love you in the booties and hoodie ... the two items are such a great polished/relaxed compliment and foil to each other thus elevating the look to perfection.

• Kiwichik replied 10 years ago

  Oooohhhh this looks great - love the boots

• Suz replied 10 years ago

  Karie, I have found that bookending with glasses is one great reason to wear them! I hope your second graders understand that black and brown are no longer a fashion faux pas when worn together.  :)

  Thanks, all. And thanks to Angie as usual for the Friday inspiration!

• Sussi3 replied 10 years ago

  this look is awesome. love it!!!

• Phatgranny replied 10 years ago

  So cute -- love your interpretation of today's ensemble!

• Lyn D. replied 10 years ago

  This is cute Suz!
  I too thought you were very cool to wear sox in this way till I read further- love the boots.

• Beth Ann replied 10 years ago

  So glad to be reminded that we can be inspired by an ensemble and pull off a great variation without having every item in our closet.

  Love navy and cream!

• Caro in Oz replied 10 years ago

  Fab outfit - love the colours :)

• pil replied 10 years ago

  Nice interpretation, Suz, silk and cashmere - yum. The blues of that shirt are so nice on you.

• cciele replied 10 years ago

  Wow, this is brilliant, the swapping of the bomber for a hoodie (and cashmere, at that). Well done!

• Nicole D replied 10 years ago

  I am feeling the bomber vibe.  Nice skirt on you too.

• Aida replied 10 years ago

  Oh Suz you look super! I love the cashmere hoodie in place of the bomber, that is a fab substitution and looks even more luxe paired with the silk. Now I am really thinking I should look into getting a midi knit tube skirt...

  (Also, I have this cutie kitty blouse too /highfive! The shade of blue is gorgeous, isn't it? I almost wore it today but it was cooler than expected so I changed into a heavier top.)

• Suz replied 10 years ago

  Aida!! We are triplets! Tanya also has this top. 

  I got it on Diana's recommendation and I could not be happier with it. It's just lovely. 

  I now have TWO Siamese kitty tops (one like Rae and MaryK's, and this one.) 

  There was a great Anthro one, too, that Peri tried. I loved it but knew the black, red, white would be too much contrast for me. I'll bet it would have looked great on you. 

• Aida replied 10 years ago

  Suz I cannot tell you how happy I am to hear that I'm not the only one with multiple kitty tops (and yay for triplets with Tanya)! I also have the periwinkle BF button-up from the GAP from last season, so not only do I have two but I have two in similar colorways. Hm that Anthro one does sound like something I'd wear. Three kitty tops is still an OK number, right? ;)

• Suz replied 10 years ago

  Three is a totally cool number. And in your case, I do think four would be perfectly okay. Not to enable or anything, but here is the link .

  Great sale price. :)

• Aida replied 10 years ago

  WELL now that is a lovely blouse! Appears to be sold out, I wonder if any of the stores near me would still have it. Although, it looks like it runs long so perhaps the petite version would fit. Hmm, hmm...

• karymk replied 10 years ago

  Suz, it's a great WIW.  Does your skirt stay in place? I love the midi on you.  Looks comfortable.

• Transcona Shannon replied 10 years ago

  Love this Suz! The cashmere hoodie is a great bomber substitution and aren't those VC tube skirts worth their weight in gold?

  I think I might need a kitty blouse...

• Suz replied 10 years ago

  Karen, the skirt works great. It's best without hose but these ones work okay. It's totally stretchy, made of a jersey knit. So very comfy. Lots of us have these, by Vince Camuto. (Inexpensive, too -- I own three). 

  Shannon, Gain would approve a kitty blouse for you. And they have those Anthro ones in petite on sale!! 

• K. Period. replied 10 years ago

  (I'm the quad!)  Hellooooooo Kitty Shirt Sissstah!  You look beautiful.  I can't get over how well this works for all of us.   I've got to get in gear and wear mine with my pencil skirt.  You make it look like perfection.  

• Aida replied 10 years ago

  I totally bit and ordered a range of petite sizes that may or may not work. The size I think I'd need is sold out in both regular and petite (which rarely work for me anyway), so we'll see. Thanks for the link, I've got my fingers crossed!

• Suz replied 10 years ago

  Ooh! I love being an enabler! I hope it works! 

  And K.P. how could I forget you? Mea culpa. You were my other inspiration to buy this!! 

• replied 10 years ago

  awesome combo!

• catgirl replied 10 years ago

  Suz, you look fantastic.  Of course.  Great use of a cashmere hoodie!

• Gigi replied 10 years ago

  Just lovely! I really like the juxtaposition of these elements. Body-con/conservative skirt meets laid-back/fluid shirt and hoodie. And the glasses look fab too and are an integral part of the outfit.

• fathenry replied 10 years ago

  Love it! You look amazing. I want to try this look out!

• Lantana replied 10 years ago

  More applause from me. The hoodie substituion is inspired.

• Janet replied 10 years ago

  Leave it to you to make a midi pencil skirt look effortless! The hoodie definitely works, and it's nice to see that adorable blouse again.

• viva replied 10 years ago

  I love this on you, Suz. It's making me think about wearing my cashmere hoodie this way, and about looking at that kitty top, and about how much I miss you ..... :)

• Parsley replied 10 years ago

  Very cool and casual, Suz,
  Great idea to substitute your cashmere hoodie for the bomber!

• NDMom replied 10 years ago

  Suz, how do you do it? I love your interpretation of Angie's post AND how easily and effortlessly you make looks your own and then look this stunning!

• Jaime replied 10 years ago

  You look fantastic and agree this was a great use of the inspiration ensemble.

• sarah replied 10 years ago

  Terrific, Suz. That shade of blue is so lovely on you.

• Firecracker (Sharan) replied 10 years ago

  Great outfit and an inventive interpretation! I was inspired by Angie's post, but the bomber jacket and pencil skirt I have in mind to try are too wintery for the weather here right now. But I have a lighter weight hoodie that I might be able to style as a bomber. (Oh, but no pencil skirt to go with it, oops!)
