I will always love a suited moment and I think there are so many fun aspects to this that I love. The black and white palette, the high neck of the top, and the general chevron pattern.

For a television moment, I feel like this print overload could come across as a bit dizzying and overwhelming. And sure, a simple swap of the top to a black one would have pared back the print overload enough. 

But I think she actually pulls off this print well – and it’s also so fun but with a slightly retro 70s nod with the power shoulder and flared shape of the pants. By creating a big block of pattern throughout her entire body that is almost overwhelming in its graphic overload – it actually forces you to look at her face for a respite. And I kind of love that in the craziness if you needed a second of calm for your eyes, that her face is where you need to rest to get it – especially because that high neckline stops just at her jaw.

Truthfully my only major complaint is that she should have quickly unbuttoned her jacket when going to sit down. Not just for a more comfortable seating experience for her, but also a cleaner line for still images.
