For once I actually had the components to do one of Angie's ensembles without even needing to think about it.
RATE as always. I swear these pants aren't as rumply in real life. I was going to roll these and wear them with my Doc oxfords, but I forgot to bring them to work, so I just used my old faithful Fryes.
Lemming jacket: Spiegel
Top, pants: Gap
Belt: H&M
Boots: Frye Engineer 8R
All comments welcome!

I like the rumple! Top and pants look terrific. Jacket looks heavy for indoor wear, but it is probably really cold there.

The rumply pants add to the RATE factor which you do really well. I love this combo and you nailed Angie's ensemble :-)

Love the whole ensemble. Leather jacket is great.

i like this....
Love your style. And this is a great combo on you too!
shevia: It may look heavy, but the warmth is really appreciated! It is a soft thin drapey kind of jacket, so I am sure in person it works a little better. Soon I can wear it as outerwear!
Neel: Thank you so much, I am chagrined sometimes seeing all the pretty polished looks on this forum but have decided to just embrace the RATE!
Sara, Mona, citygirldc, kkards, lisap: Thank you so much!

Looks great rate to me! :-)
It's warmed up here considerably after a slightly longer, colder winter than many expected.

It is great to see you back and Fab as ever Ceit!
Still love that leather jacket- I should have sourced one out when they were available- a long-term HEWI for me.

Great rendition of Angie's ensemble - I love your style!
rachy: thank youuuu!
texstyle: If you google "Rick Mercer Plus One" there's a comedy sketch that illustrates how everyone has been acting here :)
Lyn: What size are you? If this will fit you, I will mail it to you! It's a fun jacket but I am ready to pass it on.
AM and Ruth: Thank you so much!

More jacket love here (I don't know how I missed that lemming bandwagon!). Your rendition of Angie's ensemble is super fab!

I like how the shirt tucked in, yet sleeves and back peeking out, is such a great balance. The pants are just the right amount of baggy. Cute!
Thanks Karie and annabelle!

I admire your ability to wear the nautical-ish Breton stripe with moto items! Very cool, and it really lightens up the edgy stuff for Spring. Cool as always.

Great interpretation, especially like the mix of stripes and moto items. I also wore somewhat similar outfit with my lemming jacket that I need to post.
Great look and I agree with Shevia and Neel: I like the rumple. It echoes the stripe on the top and adds an intentional touch to my eye.
