WIW: In honour of Angie and in memory of Boston

Sadly, none of my pieces come from Boden. But Angie's post this morning made me reconsider this retailer; I am hoping to try some of their items soon because she's showed me how they might work for my style. 

In the meantime, in a hurry and out of my suitcase, I pulled this outfit. Thank you, Angie, for the inspiration! 

Later, when I go out, I might switch this up with my bought-in-Boston Reiss blazer! 

ETA: I am wearing

Converse Hi-Ness shoes

Kut from the Kloth Diana skinnies, rolled up BF style to show the shoes and copy Angie.

Leopard belt (cheapie no name)

VC mixed media top -- for a bit of fluid fit

Land's End Mariner sweater (more fluid fit if I wear it)

Fuchsia specs

Danier bag

And the waiter at the restaurant this morning LOVED my matchy-matchy outfit. :)

    Looks beautiful suz - love that deep fuschia color on you, esp. with the white.

    I did a double-take when I saw this photo - thought it was Angie with a 'wind swept' look to her hair. Needless to say - you look gorgeous!

    Love your outfit Suz!  I am a sucker for anything striped!!  The fuschia and white is such a lovely combination.

    What's not to love.  I think you're right about Boden, their pieces would be great in your wardrobe. 

  • Lisa replied 10 years ago

    You look gorgeous and fresh, and it's so nice to see your lovely face this morning!!

  • Day Vies replied 10 years ago

    Sporty, polished and visually compelling. I love this outfit. I think it's absolutely perfect for a casual meal. I'd copy but I generally don't have tops in this color. Clearly I need to reconsider ;-)

  • MsLuna replied 10 years ago

    You look great Suz! As always, you can rock that cranberry colour like no other!

  • Beth Ann replied 10 years ago

    Love me some modern prep in the Springtime.  Prep style, done well is so, well, optimistic!  You excel at the details here, and that is so crucial to good modern classic style:  perfect proportions and easy fits, careful details and --- a great smile!

    Wear this again!
