When I saw Inge's blogger post back in February, I planned to do a version. Here it is. What do you think? My sunglasses are not white but a light yellow-green. The fuzzy ball is not really part of the cap but a bag addition. I got this one to amuse DGS when he was younger. I also felt the outfit would look better with a belt. My boots are whiter in R/L. I'd appreciate your thoughts and suggestions.

So cool! I like your version. I think I prefer it without the hat, though you do look cute in the hat!

Fabulous!

Wow, I am amazed by the enthusiasm. Unfrumped, when I saw the outfit I knew that I had white jeans and the shirt plus pieces similar to the rest. It was a new way to wear things I have. The reverse might be fun too.. black jeans with a black and white top, black boots, and white hat and jacket.

WOW, what an amazing rendition, Joy!! Love it from head to toe! Brilliant how the colour of the boots echo the belt. Sophisticated and polished with that gorgeous animal print blouse and the blazer. Crisp with the white jeans. Fun with the accessories.
You absolutely nailed it!!

Joy, I'm smitten!
Of course, anything with white denim has me halfway there, but this rendition is particularly delightful. -

Excellent outfit!

Joy replied 7 years ago
Again I am astounded by your support fit this outfit. I needed to be warmer and used a black Gap trench for a topper when going out.
Thank you each for your comments and encouragement. -

I really like this outfit in you. I think the fit of tour jeans is better than the inspiration...

Joy replied 7 years ago
Thank you, Chiara.

Nailed it!
I also prefer it without the hat. Perhaps because you are inside so it looks a bit seasonally confused? -

Wonderful! I remember that picture and I remember thinking that I would like to copy the outfit but was never able to do so. You did it successfully! Even better than the original.

Well done!
Is that shirt from J Crew? I don't always love animal prints but I remember seeing that one and thinking it was so fab.
-
SarahTheWhite replied 7 years ago
Wow, you nailed it! I wouldn't change a thing. You look wonderful!
-
Joy replied 7 years ago
Thank you all for your encouraging comments. I will repeat this outfit.
Greyscale, the shirt is JCrew. I found it at a consignment store. The fabric is great and looks good without ironing. -

Amazing copycat! Love it.
I'm curious as to what this outfit would look like if the black and white were switched around, since the blogger has dark hair and you have light hair. So...you would wear an ivory hat, ivory blazer, etc., with dark bottoms and shoes. It would be an interesting study to see the two side-by-side.

Sal replied 7 years ago
I really like it too, and am also intrigued by Gigi's suggestion. I am tempted to give it a go myself although I don't know that I quite have the right pieces.
Fun concept:)
