  O.M.G.
  And I never say that!

  Gorgeous! You look about 6 feet tall.

• Sarah A replied 10 years ago

  I am very impessed at how you wear draping layers such a this without looking overwhelmed at all. Fab in my book.

• Suz replied 10 years ago

  Beautiful, Deborah! I love the peep of your toes coming through here and the collar bones! 

• Deborah replied 10 years ago

  Thanks pil.  You are so sweet.  I am trying to put a photo without the jacket but my silly iPad wont play nice.

• Peri replied 10 years ago

  Huge success!

• Thistle replied 10 years ago

  Gorgeous!  One of my favorite ever. Architectural, elegant, and so chic!

• karymk replied 10 years ago

  They look elegant. 

• deb replied 10 years ago

  I really like these!!

• Jaime replied 10 years ago

  Super! I love the top and the wide leg trousers are stunning! Cutting your hair increased your powers :-)!

• Grey Rainbow replied 10 years ago

  Wow! Completely works! What a fabulous top, you've given me inspiration for another shape to hunt down for my extreme wide leg pants, now that our weather is getting warmer. You look long and lean and cool and elegant.

• Day Vies replied 10 years ago

  Oh so fab. I adore the draping on this!!!! I can't stand it. The proportions are perfect. I love this with or without the jacket. Speechless!!!

• Gracie replied 10 years ago

  I love both, with and without the long tailed cardi. The outfit looks like it would move beautifully when you walk, just gorgeous!

• amiable replied 10 years ago

  I'm amazed every time I see you in these drapey layers.  No one wears them as well.

• WingGirl replied 10 years ago

  Wow. You look statuesque! Beautiful drape on this.

• anne replied 10 years ago

  I really like how you've put this together!

• Caro in Oz replied 10 years ago

  Sensational Deborah - YLF.

• Ginkgo replied 10 years ago

  You look incredible!  You've really honed your style and your proportions are just perfect.  Draping is elegant and does not overwhelm you -- your style does seem to express the "real you".  And I can't believe you're 5'1", surely you meant 6'1"?

• Deborah replied 10 years ago

  Ginko, I am 5"1 and my sister is 6ft.... I am not sure what happened???

• Beth Ann replied 10 years ago

  Gorgeous drape!  I bet this outfit looks fab in motion, especially!  The new top is a great addition.

• Debra replied 10 years ago

  Another beautiful outfit !!!!!!! Fantastic :)

• unfrumped replied 10 years ago

  I really like this. You are the guru of drapey styles.

• Style Fan replied 10 years ago

  Gorgeous Deborah.  Your legs look a mile long.  One of the powers of wide legged trousers.  Love the drape of the top.  It all comes together beautifully.

• jenanded replied 10 years ago

  Oh so lovely! Where is the top and jacket from? Its lovely too and really pushes this up several notches. J

• Deborah replied 10 years ago

  Jen the top is this season from Katies and the cardigan is old from Portmans.

• jenanded replied 10 years ago

  Truly. Whoa... I am googling now... thanks Deb!

• jenanded replied 10 years ago

  They have similar in indigo and my style variation is to do tonal midnight w my blacks. Thank you thank you! One happy bunny here

• Deborah replied 10 years ago

  Ooh Jen I must take a look. I think I know which top you mean. This black one I am wearing is currently reduced with another 30% of the reduced price:)

• Helenedith replied 10 years ago

  This looks so very good , I think I am going to have a little browse at Katie's

• gryffin replied 10 years ago

  Deborah - you totally hit this out of the park!!  Your legs do look about 2 miles long.  Perfect with the peep toes, I really like them.  Love the arty draped top and I really like the long topper. That's a surprise because intuitively I would have thought of wide legs with a cropped topper but this works brilliantly!  Love this outfit.  Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo elegant!! but edgy, interesting, and so chic!!

• Neel replied 10 years ago

  Wow!!! Another stunner of an outfit!! You do look realllllyyy tall!! Now if only I could copy this ... Sigh!

• Karie replied 10 years ago

  Deborah, I love the draping on this outfit. ! A good friend's daughter is designer Lauren Bagliore, http://www.laurenbagliore.com/, whose signature style is artful draping, and I have always loved her clothes. Your outfits always remind me of her designs.

  Another fabulous outfit!

• lyn67 replied 10 years ago

  Huge succes, I'm amazed!!!! And bet for a K2K rating from Angie, now off to see if she haven't awarded you with it, yet:-)

• claracluck replied 10 years ago

  you just elevate black to a new level..stunning.

• kerry replied 10 years ago

  Deborah, I love this outfit! It looks amazing. I'm a shortie and need your help. I'm surprised how elongating this outfit is on you, given your short stature. I'm trying to break down why it is working so well for you so that maybe I can copy some of the elements! I've tried wide-leg denim before but it was totally stumpifying and I think the problem was the stiff fabrication. Your pants are so drapey, which totally works. What are they made of? I'm also thinking the heel height and the peeptoe are helping keep things long. How high are they? Thanks Deborah, gorgeous look!

• Eliza replied 10 years ago

  Deborah- may I sign up for your advanced draping and proportion class, please?  I absolutely love these looks for you.  That neckline rocks and look 1 could take you anywhere. I also like look 2 so much.  Sometimes, I love my outfit with the topper on, but less with it off.  This works both ways.  It reads so sophisticated, yet comfortable.  Perfection! 

• Transcona Shannon replied 10 years ago

  Stunning, simple elegance.

• Angie replied 10 years ago

  I love the outfit with your beautiful bare arms. More skin - less black. That's a pretty and elegant combination. 

  Debs, have you tried playing with texture? I've noticed that your black pieces are all a similar texture - if not the same texture. Wearing textured back - instead of flat black from head to toe - livens up the dark neutral. Perhaps your pieces are textured - but that doesn't come through in the photos? Black is a mare to photograph accurately. xo

• greenglove replied 10 years ago

  Sublime, elegant- very beautiful!

• Deborah replied 10 years ago

  Kerry thank you, you are very kind:). I do think the flow of the pants has something to do with this working and my heel height ops 7.5 cm (it's a wedge heel.

  Angie very good point and you are quite right. My summer pieces are mostly a similar texture because they are light, easy to wear and cool. Our summers are quite brutal. I also find this fabric forgiving on my figure in summer when it's not always possible to layer to hide lumps and bumps:) My winter wardrobe contains more textured pieces:). I do agree it is a way to keep black looking interesting xxx

• PamelaK replied 10 years ago

  I love this look. Wide-legged pants connote sweeping elegance, absolute coolness, and confidence; all of which you embody.

• Angie replied 10 years ago

  It's so much easier to create a textural outfit with cold weather clothing, isn't it? 

• Deborah replied 10 years ago

  Angie I love winter dressing ;). But I will keep in mind to consider more texture for my summer clothes:). I love how you gently challenge me to step out of "my usual" xx

• Angie replied 10 years ago

  I'm inviting you live in Seattle. xo

• Lyn D. replied 10 years ago

  No-No- we are keeping her right here Angie :)

• fuzzylogic replied 10 years ago

  Completely gorgeous, Deborah! 10/10!

• viva replied 10 years ago

  Stunning.

• Eliza replied 10 years ago

  In terms of texture for summer, it seems that some sheer black fabrics mixed with heavier fabrics (didn't I see that here recently?) can lighten things up, while adding texture and a hint of coverage.  Sorry for my failure to remember the details of the photo/s I am remembering.
