Holy smokes, this is a powerful color and suit! I wore it during the holidays to several gatherings and parties. Now that it’s January, I’m wearing it as a power suit to meetings. I love the beautiful pomegranate color and the high-waisted pants. Maybe I’m channeling Annie Hall.
These three pieces are all by Lafayette 148 and I love them together. It makes a powerful statement! The jacket has shoulder pads, an homage to the 80’s and the pants are high-waisted. All three pieces have a generous fit so I suggest sizing down one size. I forgot to and I think they look a little oversized in these pics. The material is satin cloth and it feels divine. All pieces are sold separately which is great because I think the jacket totally works back with skinny jeans or black trousers. Imaging the pants with a soft, white blouse. Endless combinations!
I’m in LOVE with Lafayette 148 as evidenced in previous blog posts. Check out this look, this post and this one too. The quality of their pieces is incredible! I hope you will give them a try. The lucite handbag is from Charlotte Max and my shoes can be found here.
Happy Thursday! We’re almost to the 3-day weekend. Yippee! xoxo – Tanya
P.S. When I want to ensure my décolleté is nice and smooth for a neckline like today’s outfit, I use SiO Beauty patches as detailed in this blog post.

This Color is beautiful on you, I think the proportions aren’t the most flattering look on you. Even if you sized down the silhouette Is boxy and matronly.
I made a similar purchase ie suit cut like this brought it home my husband bluntly said I looked old lady in it. I returned it the next day.
I’ve had mixed results with this line, I stick to the more cropped with princess seams or nipped in waist jackets and blouses they make.
Kris,
Thanks for your input. Everyone is certainly entitled to their opinion. I will tell you that I LOVE these three pieces and wear them often. The brand is spot on for me and I’ve never had any issues.
Thanks-
Tanya 🙂
I’m wearing Lafayette today — a fab navy suede blazer with black leather trim. I always feel super professional and stylish in their clothing. I’m definitely going to look at this for purchase!
I love that you let me know when you are wearing this brand Paige. It looks so good on you!

Beautiful suit, Tanya! The color is so pretty and rich!
Thank you so much Kelley!

Haha! I bought the same suit last month. Except my pants are flat front. Love this color and the feel of the fabric.
This is so YOU Ruth. I’m so glad you got it.
The fabric is amazing isn’t it? LUXURY!

Beautiful outfit and it looks great on you, I like the minimalist look and if shoulder pads ever come back, I’m in luck. The color is amazing.
