WIWs: WFH

October 2, 2023

Quick snaps since I haven't posted for a while! Haven't had a chance to share my Greece wardrobe capsule and pics either. Life and work are very busy till Dec. But I'll try to share soon! 

  • I WFH some of the time, and I err on the dressy side. VERY comfortable in fluid fits, luxe fabrics, dressier bottoms, and at-home-only sneakers. Styled hair, pearls, and daily make-up. 
  • On WFH days, I am also out and about doing errands and walking doggies no matter what :) - in which case I add a topper, bag, and outside shoes.
  • I LOVE wearing wide full length pants and jeans! I feel elegant, cheeky, very comfy, and long in the legs in them. Modern Retro too. I don't wear heels, so the same length works with all my footwear. 
  • Here are two WFH outfits I wore yesterday, and right now. 
  • New houndstooth United Colours of Benetton jeans, and Wit & Wisdom brown checked pants. Different fits on me than on the models!

  •  Sam matches my lime sweater today. Jo is sticking to fuschia :) 
  • Hair wants to flip out, so I'm letting it do just that!

Back later! xo

    Gorgeous all around. That green sweater is super flattering on.

  • Angie replied 11 months ago

    Thanks, sweet Tanya :)

    My favourite colour!

  • Suz replied 11 months ago

    Gorgeous lime sweater (and cute Sam!) and love seeing how you wear brown your way, wth brights. It's unique and special. I am completely in love with the houndstooth jeans! 

  • Angie replied 11 months ago

    Thanks, Suz! Hope the grey version of these pants work for you too. SOOO comfy. Jeans too. No stretch! Both bottoms are crease-resistant. 

    Wearing brown with my brights feels right and is authentic :) 

  • Joy replied 11 months ago

    I love your flipped out hair and lime green.  The hair takes me back to the 60's and trying to get my very straight hair to do that.  

  • Indigoprint replied 11 months ago

    Love your houndstooth jeans especially.
    To my eye the print elevates the jean- casual in addition to how you wear them.

  • Angie replied 11 months ago

    Thank you!

    Joy,     good to know my flippy hair is working - YES, feeling '60s with it! You can wear your hair straight for me :)

    Indigoprint, Yes! The pattern also adds a playful touch. To my eye it's the dark wash, wide silhouette, and dressier denim fabric that elevates the jeans. I love them! :)

  • Irina replied 11 months ago

    Fabulous! You photos with doggies are so precious!

  • anchie replied 11 months ago

    Love those outfits. Simple but striking. I especially like unusual combination of brown amd lime green. Hair is also
    matching playful vibe.

  • Helena replied 11 months ago

    Love love love both of these. Perfect WFH inspiration! Thank you Angie!

  • Dee replied 11 months ago

    Such cheery WFH outfits, and of course cute doggies too. Especially love those houndstooth jeans, they’re right up my alley.

  • Bonnie replied 11 months ago

    So fun to see your wfh outfits. Love those checked pants!

  • Runcarla replied 11 months ago

    Love the colours.  Too warm here for long pants or sleeves!

  • Kyle replied 11 months ago

    Great find on the houndstooth jeans and I love them paired with yellow. Love you in lime, Angie!

  • Firecracker (Sharan) replied 11 months ago

    You are rocking the wide-leg jeans, Angie. And wow, that green sweater! I just ordered a couple pairs of wide-leg jeans from Madewell during their 25% off "insider" event. If they work, I'm thinking of trading out a pair of jeans I didn't wear last year and maybe one other less-than-fab pair.

  • SarahD8 replied 11 months ago

    Really nice -- simple but such pizzazz! I can see how a relatively subtly patterned pant can really add interest to an outfit without being over-the-top loud. You have got my wheels turning!

  • Angie replied 11 months ago

    Thanks, everyone!

    Lime is my colour ;) 

    Irina, Sam and Jo complete me. 

    Anchie, appreciate the praise, and especially about the hair. Playful is one of my 5 adjectives, so YAY! Chocolate brown goes with every colour, IMO.....

    Helena, humbled to have inspired your own WFH outfits. 

    Dee, high fiving a wide leg jeans style sister! 

    Bonnie, Kyle and Carla, thanks for the kind words.

    Sharan, let me know how they fit, and good idea! I love you in wide legs. 

    SarahD8, as a Seattleite, you know that we wear jeans and pants A LOT in the PNW. Can't have too few options, and variety is the spice of life :) 

  • Style Fan replied 11 months ago

    I love wide-leg jeans.  I wear them a lot.  The lime top is gorgeous.  
    I remember trying to get my hair to do the flip in the '60s.  No luck.  Always went back to being straight.

  • Olive Green replied 11 months ago

    That lime top is so very you. Cheerful, polished, bright. 

  • Angie replied 11 months ago

    Style Fan, I like straight hair, and dare we say wide legs forever? I love wide crops too :)

    Thanks, Olive Green! 

  • slim cat replied 11 months ago

    Absolutely perfect WFH looks! Love your hair that way as well - fabulous!

  • Kate replied 11 months ago

    The lime sweater is especially delicious. A beautiful combination with the brown plaid trousers.

  • Eliza replied 11 months ago

    Angie- love that WFH becomes an in-house show stopper. Wow, what you do with color and unexpected combinations. Great to see!

  • cjh replied 11 months ago

    Both wide leg pants are really great! Thanks for sharing how you put together your look.

  • Jaime replied 11 months ago

    Brights and wide legs are your look! Well one of them anyhow :) . I love the hair flip, modern retro for the win!

  • Roberta replied 11 months ago

    Love LOVE an acidic green with brown! Such a pleasing combination, and you look smashing in it!

  • rachylou replied 11 months ago

    Ultra cool, ultra fab!!

  • Barbara Diane replied 11 months ago

    Especially loving the lime green sweater and seeing you sans glasses. Your glasses are so signature that I am not sure if I have ever seen you without them.

  • Sisi replied 11 months ago

    Wonderful outfits, such happy colors! I love your doggies in their colorful  collars!

  • lyn67 replied 11 months ago

    Not to press you or something Angie but You know I cannot wait to see  your gorgeous greek capsule in action!:-)
    Looking sooo lovely in grass green and bright rays of sunshine! And, You  put me on work to try AGAIN some full length pants- which I generally hate on me (too dressy, not my life, etc etc)----but after seeing your fab looks lately here their obvious and drastical "lengthenning in the legs" feature have been proved more than 200%!!!- and are soooo  sooo very appealing now....

  • Star replied 11 months ago

    Love the green and brown combo especially, and the look on Sam's face, and the flippy hair!   Thanks for posting.

  • Brooklyn replied 11 months ago

    Gorgeous! Love the houndstooth jeans in particular. Your WFH style is TDF!

  • replied 11 months ago

    I want to see the Greek pics too! Your legs look miles long!

  • sabimct replied 11 months ago

    Absolutely stunning!  You look just gorgeous Angie!

    I know I say this often, but I find these 'real life' pictures super helpful.  They inspire and guide me. Thank you for sharing!

    Angie - are full length pants the new direction?  [I know we don't adhere to trends the way we used to, but I feel like pant length is a very obvious way of staying current.]. Thanks for any insights :)

  • RobinF replied 11 months ago

    Wow, I can see why you love wide leg pants - they look fabulous on you! I love the color combos.

    I dress more casually in the office than you do for WFH :)

  • JP replied 11 months ago

    Beautiful outfits! Those colors are gorgeous on you.

  • Angie replied 11 months ago

    Thanks, everyone!


    Slim Cat, you are always kind and supportive. Appreciate the hair affection :)

    Kate, Star and Roberta, as lovers of chocolate brown, I’m happy to be on your team! It’s a VERY versatile dark neutral.

    Eliza and Jaime, that is high praise and I’m blushing :)

    cjh, lovely to see you chime in!

    I’m smiling Rachy, Sisi, Barbara Diane and JP! You are lovely. 

    Lyn67 and Suntiger, will try to get some Greece pics up soon....

    Brooklyn, we must live to wear clothes that delight us! Go Team Wide Leg and Full Length Pants and Jeans :)

    Sabimct, ALL pant lengths are on trend. Full lengths and puddle lengths are having their fashion moment!

    RobinF, HAH! Appreciate the compliment :)

  • Jonesy replied 11 months ago

    I love the cut of those pants and jeans! And your gorgeously bright yellow and lime knitwear is fabulous! Very chic WFH, as expected, Angie :). And your hair is so beautiful and healthy--I loved your hair when it was short, but this length and style really suits you too. Sam and Jo are looking stylish and adorable. I'm sure they love it when you are home all day!

  • Cee replied 11 months ago

    Well, I've just hit maximum Yorkie uber cuteness overload !

  • Angie replied 11 months ago

    Cee, yes! Sam and Jo are adorable ;)

    Jonesy, thanks for the generous compliments as always! Appreciate the kind words about my hair and babies too. You are so lovely :)

  • Cee replied 11 months ago

    If only we could convert their cuteness to a type of clean energy !
