It was low 70s today and there's a feeling in the air that fall is rapidly descending on us here. I'm having a busy week and I threw this on pretty quickly, because I was running late:

My DD14 gave it the stamp of approval - she liked the turquoise pop of color, and the ruching at the waist. I was impressed she noticed such details. She said, "Hmm, that style would work good on me" and she's right, since we are built very similarly.

My DD15 kindly took the photo after a verrrryyyy long day of work, errands, and shuttling kids here and there... and also spending half the day starving because I missed lunch! Be very glad I blanked out my face - because by end of day I looked positively haggard and run-down and 10 years older.

I do like the new top - I usually steer clear of pink because I'm so short I don't want to look too cutesy. But I think the top has enough "edge" to get away with the pink. I think however it will look much better with long jeans. I couldn't shake this weird feeling all day that there's something wrong, wearing elbow length sleeves with knee length pants... like my clothing has shrunken???
