Good morning everyone!
Today is the debut of two new items - the Express Editor trousers (back from hemming) I bought off of eBay and a jersey abstract print tank.
I can see why so many of Angie's clients love these Editor trousers - the fabric is substantial, the fit and rise perfect and the drape lovely. Many shorter women would probably find the legs too wide but I don't mind that at all. I like the way they move when I move and I find a wider leg trouser can help to balance out my wider hips.
I added an abstract print drapey tank that I found on the weekend at Laura Petites that has black, cream, yellow, and taupe in it. Love the colours and it will work with many of my bottoms. It also has substantially wide shoulder straps so won't have any issues wearing it without a topper when the summer heat arrives.
On top of that I added my light cream (not quite white) leather jacket and for footwear, my three-tone patent leather oxfords which have the same colours in them as in the tank. For my handbag, I'm using my yellow leather clutch.
I feel classic and modern in this outfit and am pleased with how it all works together. I can tell all three of these pieces will be workhorses for me. What do you think of this outfit and its components? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.
Leather jacket: Danier Leather
Tank: Laura Petite
Trousers: Express Editors (eBay)
Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell
Clutch: Gap

Love this outfit! It looks fantastic and completely fresh. You have a gift for picking up just the right pieces to complete new capsules. Shopping instincts and karma borne of long practice, I guess. -

The length of your pants looks just fine to me. It's hard to see without a back view but from the front, it looks fine.

You had to get that top to go with the shoes. It's such a fun pairing. Love the jacket. Love the outfit on you.

The jacket and clutch just catapult the blouse into spring/summer. This is amazing Shannon -- slam dunk!

I started playing dress up when I was 4 years old and haven't stopped since! My income doesn't match my tastes so it's all about figuring out how to thrift my way to a fashionable life while tossing in a few delectable items.
