So, here is another possible Banff look - going western and trying the knotted top - bought, by the way, from the boys' wear section.

Here with my Reports and the straight leg jeans I am bringing.

Also, with the down vest in case it gets cold.

And with my brand new rain slicker if it gets rainy. It is not quite red, not quite pink IRL. The colour is called red but it is more like a bright berry. This replaces an old EB rain jacket that was much too large for me. I got it on a super sale.

Also, showing the plaid shirt untucked so you can see why I am not a fan of cropped jackets with long tops on me. The proportions have to be JUST right...and they are usually wrong. I CAN do it with a top that ends right at the crotch, but any lower and I think it looks off.

This is my last post before I go. Hope to get pictures when I am away. In the meantime, thank you SO much for your encouragement and support! You really helped me out in a big way with inspiration and wise counsel.

Sorry to post and run but will check back this afternoon for replies.
