I have been laughing myself silly over the ridiculous puns we have all been making, and couldn't resist yet another.

Just when I thought my wardrobe couldn't be tauped, the sweet, generous, and thoughtful Celia sent me a package. Inside, this beautiful taupe silk top from Cassis.

Thank you, Celia!! This is a really beautiful top, in a style that I didn't previously own, from a store that I am so sad to have lost! Cassis had the BEST things, and when they still existed my budget was such that I never could buy from them. So I am triply thrilled to have this piece.

Here it is; on the front it looks like a stain but it just shadows there for reasons unknown.

As you can see, it is longer in back than in front. The back view shows why I find tunics tough to wear. They shorten my already short legs. Would this work better with darker jeans not cuffed, do you think, or is it just too long for me, period?

I am also showing it with my Halogen seamed skirt, and here I have another question: Which booties work better? Could I wear the black ones sans hose as long as I am wearing my glasses (or add a scarf with some black up top?) Would the blonde ones work better when I am not wearing my specs? If I wear the black ones with hose, I assume I would need to bookend with something up top, correct?

ETA: while I don't love the back view, isn't it interesting the way my hair actually matches the shirt?
