To hear Susan Plagemann, vice president and publisher of Vogue magazine speak at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in support of the WNY Women’s Foundation, chose to wear a skirt suit.

Not the usual pick but given the venue and the speaker wanted to wear something a little modern and perhaps a little graphic. This textured print cocoon jacket made me feel on trend in a room of over 300 fashion forward and very well dressed women. Fabric, 100% cotton, and jacket being unlined, made this skirt suit feel easy while the shape and the strong pattern made me feel well dressed. Will probably wear the two pieces as separates, they are strong enough to stand on their own, but for this event a matched skirt suit felt right.

Bag and shoe? You’ve seen those before, plenty. Invest in a few fabulous accessories and wear wear wear. Bag is a little oversized but wanted to have someplace to stow the event program and any other papers that might be distributed. Shoe? The absolutely most comfortable footwear in the closet at present.

Susan Plagemann was outstanding; articulate, intelligent, interesting, focused, impressive, human, and inspiring. She wore what looked to be a completely matched white linen pant suit.
