Hey Hey!
So last night I quickly popped by Angela Simmons’s Indique hair launch event:

The entrepreneur collaborated with Indique to create Bikini, a multi textured wave pattern seemingly perfect for a day at the beach (read more about it here).

Pretty!
After sipping a few seltzer waters, I headed out to dinner with friends. Since it was epically hot outside, I wanted to sizzle, so slipped on a neon orange jacket the kind folks over at Members Only sent my way:

I resurrected my YSL Tribute sandals (last worn here) to play off the jacket’s neon hues, then toned it all down with an athletic inspired, zippered Diane von Furstenberg shift.

How would you wear a Members Only jacket?

Leave a comment, and we’ll give away one men’s jacket and one women’s jacket to the Bomber and Bombshell with the best outfit ideas. Check out a few colors here:

123 thoughts on “Claire’s Life: Angela Simmons’s Indique Launch Party + Our Members Only Jacket Giveaway!”

  1. I would rock it the same way Claire did, white dress and the neon pink jacket with neon green shoes!

  2. I would keep it casual with cut off shorts, a white tank, and a statement gold chain necklace, similar to Melodi Ehsani jungle necklace, and a fly pair of wedged sneakers!

  3. I agree with everyone – love your look here Claire. You look so happy and fresh faced also.

  4. For the summer, I’d definitely rock the neon classic bomber jacket. It will pair well with a white racer back tee, the mint green kandee shorts from Virgos Lounge& M.E. accessories for the win. Since this is a post about Angela it’s only right to rock the new Pastry pop tart strap coral shoes, the neon bottoms are a perfect match for the jacket without being too flashy.

  5. As a male I would wear the members only jacket with some distressed cut off arm shorts, oversized black tank, and black converse. I live in LA so im on the relaxed tip hahahahha!

  6. I love Members Only!!
    Having a flashback from High school so I would pair the Neon bomber with something super fun like silver metallic “sparkle” shorts, wedge sneakers (Rebecca Taylor’s ), my neon yellow oversize beaded H&M necklace, layered bright bracelets courtesy of Etsy and the Young Designers market balanced over a white Zara tank and complimented with diamond studs.

    A little specific but Mama has a vision. LOL

  7. I LOVE to combo Claire put together but I would wear a neon color bomber jacket with a graphic racerback tshirt, perhaps a Grace Jones graphic tee, with denim shorts and a pair of metallic sneakers (perhaps a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti if my bank account allows). I’ve been looking for a reason to buy a pair of sneakers. Lol

  8. For the summer look right now i would rock one of the neon Members Only jackets with either some ripped acid washed jeans(Rag and Bone) with a cute graphic tee and of course some colored pumps… Or I would rock the Navy Blue one for guys with red denim jeans from Zara along with a tee shirt and some simple flats (i.e. the spike slip on flats(Kanye’s).

  9. I would pair the neon orange jacket with cropped denim jeans, white tee, 5 1/2 heel sandals I just purchased with cool fringe detail in front, gold name plate chain, large gold hoops and chunky bracelets

  10. I love that colour on you!

    I adore the Members Only jacket. They have stuck to what works and haven’t messed with the style since they popped back in the 80s…my brother had one.

    What would I pair it with? With the coral colour one, I would slip on some slim jeans and a colourful pump or white tank and a mini for a night out.

  11. I love this outfit!! Personally I would wear it how you have it. But I would pair mines with dark wash boot cut jeans, a plain white tee shirt, a chunky (Gold and silver mix) necklace with some lavender wedges. I love simplicity with a twist!

  12. I love the look Claire. I would wear the neon orange Members Only jacket with a white racerback tanktop and zebra-print loose fit trousers, Poparazzi statement earrings and a killer wedge shoe to finish off the look for daytime… I would switch the pants up for high waisted sequined shorts for an effortless yet chic night time look!

  13. I’d pair a Members Only with skinny white jeans, a white tee, stilettos, overloaded accessories, and pink lipstick- badness!

  14. The Members Only bomber jacket I would wear is the neon green jacket. I would pair this look with all black, inspired by Kanye. Black shirt, black slim-fit jeans/leather pants, with the black Air Yezzy 2. This look will easily work for females also. Ladies, who want more edgy, look just pair the same neon green jacket with black bra, high waist black pants/leggings, and Air Yezzy 2.

  15. I would rock the lilac/purple jacket with a white button up, statement necklace underneath the collar, dark skinny jeans and bright platform heels from Jeffrey Campbells. Love!!

  16. Looking good, Claire! Looking at the jacket, makes me want to rock in a girly MJ way. So, I would try rock my Members Only jacket in a neon pink (since it’s one of my fav colors) and pair it with a Michael Jackson t-shirt with a faded blue jeans shorts. For accessories, I would rock some funky studs, bangles, as for shoes, probably gladiator sandals (since it’s so hot outside), aviator shades. My hair would be in a twist-out fro, natural make-up and off to go!

  17. I would wear the neon green jacket with a nude fitted/ spandex catsuit and Jessica Simpson’s Dany heel in Oatmeal Vintage. I would then top it off with a gold statement necklace – probably my Chanel medallion necklace.

  18. Love your outfit diva, keep m comming! I’d wear this jacket with my star spangled banner denm shorts, a white top a new pair of Nike air Jordan’s . I’d wrap my locs in an Aztec print scarf.

  19. I would love to have a red jacket and wear with a black tank, black skinny jeans with cheetah print heels. By the way you look great!

  20. I would wear the orange members only jacket with the citizens floral shorts ciara wore. I would pair the two with a plain white tank and grey isabel marant wedge sneakers : )

  21. I’d love to have this updated jacket in the peach color. I’d showoff with
    the perfect with camouflage baggy shorts, yellow tank & yellow wedge sandals ;)

  22. I would wear the Members Only jacket, in the same color as yours with boyfriend jeans, for a relaxed fit, white loose tee with statement gold

  23. I would wear the Members Only jacket, in the same color as yours with boyfriend jeans, for a relaxed fit, white loose tee with statement gold assessors. And strappy black heels, edgy and classy! Can’t forget my round glasses and top knot bun. I’ll take two, please! :-)

  24. I would rock the neon pink jacket with a white tank, black leather DKNY pleated skirt, a black Alexander Wang top handle, Isabel Marant sneakers, with a pair if Ray Bans with an assortment of small black leather bracelets with silver accents with a Holy Bauble statement necklace. Very downtown chic.

  25. I would wear the purple Members Only jacked with some light washed destroyed denim shorts, white tee, statement necklace & wedges

  26. I didn’t mention earlier but I’d Rock the peach or the lime green jacket :)

  27. I think I would wear it to add some edge to an outfit. So, I would either wear a black lace blouse, with a black cami underneath,a super dark denim skirt, and a pair or hot pink platforms. Or, I would wear a white ruffled blouse, grey pants, and a hot pair of heels

  28. I love, love, love the neon green jacket! I would wear it with my lite denim cutoff shorts, a coral color tee (with side pocket) and white chucks! Makeup: fresh face, hair: high soft bun, accessories: large gold watch, middle size gold hoops and avatar sunglasses!

  29. Since were going classic why not pair this jacket with vintage Levi cutoffs, white tank, and neon high top reeboks classics…and since I’m a LA girl we can’t forget gold chunky accessories, bamboo earrings and arm candy ;)
    Bee. @thestylelover

  30. I would wear this jacket with a pair of cut off Levis shorts and low top leather Chuck Taylors. Neon statement necklace and a couple of wooden bracelets, but then again I probably would have to play off your style too :).

  31. Everyone is talking about the outfit, but I want that hair so badly! I’m going to be placing my order next week!

    As for the jacket, I’d do the orange over a tribal or Aztec print dress, nude pumps with the Indique bikini in 10-12″ in an funky asymmetrical bob cut!

  32. “How would you wear a Members Only jacket?”
    I wouldn’t. Stop trying to make fetch happen. You however look very cute, and I would agree with previous commenters you look fab in peach!!

    @Char…great ideas I could totally see that being cute.

  33. Maybe I would wear the orange jacket over a leopard shorts jumper with flat sandals and shades.

  34. Claire I love this look on you! I would wear the peach Members Only jacket with my Rag & Bone goetz jeans with a white bandeau top!

  35. Claire you look so very pretty, I always love your ensembles but this is one of your best looks and Ilove those tribute sandals. :)

  36. let’s see … it looks great with white, like you have it, claire. i would probably do something similar. maybe a white tank, and long white flowy maxi skirt… or a tan tank with light denim shorts.

  37. I would wear a neon members only jacket with some boyfriend jeans and some wedges..

  38. Wow I really like that jacket!. It’s the perfect pop of color.If it were in my closet, I would ware it with a pair of cut off, high-waisted, studded, light- blue jean shorts. Then I would pair it with a white tank top and my favorite beige sperrys. So the jacket would be the highlight of the outfit!

  39. I would wear the hot pink member jacket (just like the one I had a kid) and color block it with a yellow flowy tank from H&M, some cut off j.brand shorts and keeping it retro with white low converses and a rebecca minkoff bag! so casual :)

  40. I would wear the orange jacket with something leopard. Im thinking a nice fitted leopard shirt or dress with some hot pink heels. A few gold accecoriess and since its soooooooo hot here in TX I would have to pull the sleeves to the elbows. (night idea)

    for a day look some skinny jeans with a white t shirt and some leopard flats (green jacket)

  41. I love, love, love the lime green jacket! I would wear it with my light blue cutoff shorts, coral color tee (with pocket) and white chucks! Makeup: fresh face, hair: high soft bun and accessories: large gold watch, medium gold hoops, and avatar sunglasses!

  42. Claire you look GREAT!!! What kind of makeup did you use to get such a fresh faced summer glow…foundation, gloss, etc…

  43. Claire, by far one of your best looks to date. Love the way you have your hair pulled back.

  44. I would rock this with a pair of colored skinnies or khakis with a pair of Toms and a white tee. Simple and casual

  45. This is probably the best I have ever seen you look since I have been visiting this blog from last year.

    I need that jacket to pair with my form fitting sleeveless fuchsia v-neck top and flowing long white skirt.

  46. I would do a nude short romper, funky neon stone accessories with a neon colored sneakers( pink) and nude bag ( the same shade of nude as the romper of course)
    Btw you look fab love the color of your shoes

  47. As always you look great Claire!

    I’d choose the neon orange jacket and pair it with a white tee, skinny blue jeans and leopard print heels for a casual night out with the boyfriend :)

  48. I love the lavender and orange jackets.

    Claire-Love the makeup. You looked so pretty. I also loved the way you put the outfit together.

    The jackets would also look good with some skinny jeans and a 5″ to 6″ peep toe sandal.

  49. Grey maxi skirt, off blue converse, white tank with some gritty writing or slogan on it like this cute on from the site sportyafros.com/shop and let the jacket to do the talking.

    other things – chain necklace, studs, cool nike watch, small ring (if any) and shoulder strap leopard printed bag.

  50. Instead of wearing the jacket with summer apparel, I would wear the bomber to transition into fall with pieces from my closet. For starters, I would wear the tangerine-colored bomber along with a black and white tribal printed shirt and a black wool scarf. Along with that, i’d wear a pair of black skinny jeans from Forever 21, black oxfords and bejeweled earrings.

  51. You look great in that peach color Claire, it compliments your skin tone beautifully.

  52. I LOOOOVE this. I would rock the lime green members only jacket with a floral romper, chunky gold accesories, and chunky wooden platform sandals!

  53. You look radiant Claire! And Angela has come into her own, she looks very pretty.

  54. From a male perspective, I can easily see this jacket paired with a v-neck t-shirt, fitted jeans and a pair of TOMS. I enjoy mixing styles yet this combination would give all attention to the jacket.

  55. I love the peach color that you are wearing! I’d wear it with my mint green shorts, a white tank top, with my white/pale yellow turban, nude strappy heels, and gold accessories.

  56. Claire you look fabulous! I would definitely pick the neon green to match up with a pair of distressed aztec print shorts and a bustier of some sort. As far shoes, I’d rock some open-toed shoes with a front strap and rubber soles from H&M. Accessories: a chain necklace with a sharp bullet pendant with a collection of cross rope bracelets.

  57. Claire, you look darling!!
    I would wear the Members only jacket as follows:
    Neon green jacket, with Ikat print bralet , something like this http://www.freepeople.com/Ikat-Crop-Bralette/?cm_mmc=GoogleFeed-_-MerchantCenter-_-24171274-_-1

    ring something like this http://www.etsy.com/listing/102577292/nature-springs-eternal-stag-deer-antler?ref=pr_shop
    Have a great weekend!!

  58. I would rock the green jacket with a white “wife beater”, and my black silk acetate tuxedo pants. I’d pair it with my coral platform eyelet open toe pumps and a cute little multicolored clutch. Big gold jewelry would top the look off perfectly!

  59. I love members only and I love that jacket on you Claire!!!! I would dress it down with some peep toe booties in an electric blue cut off shorts and a simple white tank or dress it up probably the same way you did! You truly are a style inspiration! Stay cool in this NYC heat girlie!!!

  60. id wear it with my hair up in a bun (its too hot) aviators, a chunky serpentine necklace, a white tee, floral skinny’s and killer pumps (daffodilesque)

  61. Claire you definitely look FAB!!

    I would rock the lavender Members only jacket with an off white fitted crop top and a pair of my very own DIY Ombre Cut Off Shorts. Not sure of the shoes…Maybe JC Litas or even Isabel Marant Wedge Sneakers. The jacket is so versative you can pair it with just about any style shoe. As for accessories I would probably add a few cool/funny buttons to the jacket. Silver HUGE hoop earrings to compliment my afro and rainbow bangles. The jacket is my statement so I would wear a simple necklace. <3 <3 I can see it now…I'm in love!! I need this jacket in my life.

  62. I would wear the neon orangina jacket with a white lace dress and blue chambray dr.martens with some nice flower print shades

  63. That jacket gives me life. It’s the perfect jacket for a date night . Since those jackets have great neon colors i would keep that going. I would pair it with my high-waisted shorts, bronze charm open-toed sandals, and a simple fitted white tank. For accessories I’d keep it simple with my chocolate diamond studs. I can see that outfit in my head. Now i need the cute chocolate boyfriend to complete my look, lol

  64. I’d pair my MembersOnly jacket with multicolored frayed denim shorts,a bright yellow tank, and a bright yellow suede platform heel! I love color and the hues of these jackets would be a perfect compliment! I even thrifted a khaki MembersOnly jacket last year- you guys rock!

  65. I love both the neon green and hot pink, but the hot pink would look great against my skin, the green is gorgeous, too! I can’t decide! I wish I had hair to try the Angela Simmons Bikini Collection; maybe I can get a wig made…

  66. The both of you are just so pretty! I love your blog it’s fresh spirited,fun informative and fabulous! These pics of you show a glowing spirit … A true black beauty.

  67. CLAIRE, that’s nice and all, but…………..WHAT JACKET IS ANGELA WEARING???? Do i need to do a mail bomb??

  68. I love both the neon green and hot pink, but the hot pink would look great against my skin, the green is gorgeous, too! I can’t decide!
    I’d wear the jacket with a pair of skinny stone/ acid washed jeans, a sexy fitted v-neck tee ( in a neutral color, like cream), a wild crazy necklace like the Dannijo Betty Dee necklace you mentioned earlier this week, a pair of stud earrings, and pair of peep toe wedges ( probably in cream, also).

  69. Hey Claire! Love the look! I’d style the jacket as follows in two different ways:

    #1
    – Purple bomber jacket
    – Flowy, white or cream colored chiffon mini or midi-length dress (Flowy like a kaftan but not floor length and the hemline similar to that of a high-low dress but of course not super low in the back haha)
    – I would wear a variety of shoes depending on what look I’m going for: 1. Jeffrey Campbell black Lita Spike’s if I’m feeling edgy 2. Platform wedge red or leopard print shoe with an ankle strap which would compliment my 5’11 frame (the Nine West IVORIE platform wedge or the Giuseppe Zanotti wedge are the styles I’m envisioning)
    – For jewelry, I’d wear either a metal collar necklace (if the dress has a lower neckline) or I’d layer 2-3 simple, dainty necklaces (different lengths) on top of each other.
    – With this look, I’d keep arm candy minimal either with a nice rose gold watch or a dainty bracelet or two and a nice cocktail ring on the opposite hand.

    #2
    – Green bomber jacket
    – Destroyed ombre denim shorts with or without studded detailing on the front inner pocket worn with a simple thin, black belt
    – Clean white button-up, sleeveless blouse with a pink bow tie OR a plain white tank top
    – If wearing the tank top, I’d wear a simple necklace with stacked arm candy. I have a princess ring that was passed down to me by mother on my 16th bday that I’d wear and that’d be the only finger candy.
    – For shoes I’d keep it extremely cool and wear a pair of my trusted Chuck Taylor low-top Converse sneakers in black or gray.

  70. I love members only!
    I was born post this lovely era and i never got a chance to embrace the trend :( But for the last few years Ive been coveting this jacket and ive rummaged through my grandmother’s and great aunt’s houses trying to come up on one but no luck :(
    My style is very chill, laid back, tomboyish so I would definitely rock this with some sneakers, vanilla hightop converse or a pair of Jordans. With the sorbet orange jacket I would pair it with a bralet/bustier (floral or patterned preferably) and some high waist denim shorts. For accessories, I’d rock some major super retro aviator throwback stunna shades, and a multi chain necklace.
    Not to mention my boyfriend would look finnnee in that jacket lol :)
    We would kill in these jackets!

  71. I would pair this cute jacket with camoflogue pants, and a fitted white tee or tank. I would accent the outfit with bright (purple, pink, or blue) platform pumps. I would pair gold hoops, a couple of tiny gold rings, and a simple gold necklace to finish off the look. I would keep a nuetral face, clean winged eye, and a nude lip. To finish the look off I would style my hair in a side fishtail.

  72. I would wear the purple jacket with a pair of multicolored tight-legged jeans and a pair of black pumps. Mixing the new with the old. Keeping it simple. =)

  73. I love the peach! It goes perfect with white and gold! I’d keep this fun and flirty with a printed circle skirt or even a solid mint green paired with a racer back white tank. I’d wear a chunky chain link short necklace with some pearl studs! I’d pair this with some wedges or to play it down even more some cute jelly flip flops!

  74. I would wear every color! I love the jackets bc they are so versatile. Love your legs. ..you look nice!

  75. I would wear the neon green Members Only jacket with a light colored denim shirt with a Topshop printed maxi skirt (I have had my eye on for a while which has just been put on sale!) and a pair of leather chunky heels or wedges.

  76. I would rock anyone of these jackets with some camo cargo pants, a fitted white tee or tank, and some brights platform pumps. I would finish this look with white nails, gold hoops, a few small rings, and a small gold necklace. I would keep a nuetral face, small winged eye, with a nude lip. I would style my hair in a side fishtail braid. What a cute outfit.

  77. Oh Claire , you indeed a friend in my head !!!
    I love 98% of what you wear… I think you should raffle off a 5 min spree in your closet—all that you can grab. I would elbow a child, pregnant woman or an old lady for that chance— no shame !
    I love that members’s only jacket— I had one back in the day !

  78. you look AMAZING claire, and definitely changed my mind on how that jacket could look. Sadly I have ZERO styling talent (which is why I stay stalking TFB for tips haha) On a practical note, I think the purple jacket is a perfect light summer jacket that I could wear both on casual work days (with dark – navy or black – cigarette trousers, a blouse and heels or brogues) or alternatively on a cycling/activity filled trip with cutoff jeans or even workout wear and trainers – it looks fun on, but light enough to tie around the waist/shoulders or just fold into a rucksack.

  79. This is by far my favorite look of yours Claire. You look like perfection from H2T! and Im not even trying to flatter u either (lol.. with a side eye)
    Anyway, I love that purple jacket, it will go perfectly with my… OPI nail color I picked up recently and can’t get enough of.
    The coral will do too, I will pair with either a white dress, or a burnt orange dress…
    Thanks for the opportunity. Good luck y’all!

  80. I would rock with a solid white fitted tank with some high-wasted bleached destroyed shorts a turquoise or purple thin belt. a turquoise or purple Jeffrey Campbell Lita. Throw my hair in a high messy bun. And a nude lip.

  81. I would wear the neon orange jacket w/ skinny jeans, a white top,and my Sam Edelman slingback pumps.I would love to add this jacket to my wardrobe ;-)

  82. I would wear the Member’s Only jacket(green or orange) with a pair of khaki skinny jeans, multi-colored Steve Madden wedges and with a white tank under the jacket and pair it all with some nice accessories.

    Simple Chic! It can be worn to any event.

  83. I would wear it with my fav. Denim Skinny’s a basic white v.neck big glasses thick gold chain bracelet to match hair up n a high bun with some wedges…comfort clothes :)

  84. great jacket! this can go from work to play with the quick change of accessories and shoes!!! all the bright colors are so cute and now!!! members only have really made it possible to “stunt like my daddy”…who wore his m.o. jackets throughout my childhood!!! lol

  85. I would wear the purple bomber jacket, a basic black corset top, Current/Elliot neon arrow jeans (all neon jackets match these jean!!), and purple giuseppe zanotti asymmetric eel pumps. DIY neon accesories. The motel Batik Tie-dye body con dress is also nice with these jackets

  86. Go ‘head Angela & loving your look Claire! The neon pink bomber jack would look perfect with my own Express black ruched mini skit, white racerback asymmetrical tank, Aldo white and neon green lined summer wedges. And to add the finishing touches, I’d have my wrist stacked with gold and silver mix bangles and simple crystal studs. Hope I win & if not hope you dig my outfit idea :-)

  87. I love the “Member’s Only” jackets…I personally would rock my “Member’s Only” jacket with some cut-off shorts and my new Reebok Classics’ for a girlie casual look…I so need a “Member’s Only” jacket in my life

  88. I think they’d all look nice with a solid colored body con dress or for a casual look a nice pair of cut off jean shorts and solid black or white tee with a bad pair of shoes.
