Hi all,

1) A decent portrayal of my shape. My shoulders are back trying to get my arms out of the way, but they are normally straight up from my hips. I like this silhouette, but would like to achieve it in more interesting ways - plus, I don't generally wear tight tops and bottoms.

2) a. Impressions of this sweater? b. With leggings?

3) I tried belting this sweater.

4) I've had these boots for years and outgrew them during pregnancies (feet flattened out/got bigger), so it's been a while since I bought them and I'm not sure if they're out of date. Thoughts?

5) Are these boots too skinny for jeans?

6) Sweater unbelted - the way I usually wear it. Preference?

7) Black ankle boots that I bought years ago. Are they frumptastic? I tried a little scrunch thing at the ankle...

8) ...and unscrunched.

9) My Grandma's oversized coat that I mentioned on Angie's Oversize Coat post. Too shapeless? The sleeves feel too short. I'm kind of tempted to make a long vest out of it and nip in the waist to make it more streamlined - thoughts? These boots are (were) also Grandma's and I think they're pretty but too small (my toes are pushing into the ends). Can suede stretch in length?

10) The coat is a little more closed here so you can see the shape (or lack of) - sorry, my camera ate the one where it actually was closed.

11) Is belting like this passe or otherwise inadvisable?

12) Can I get credit for bookending my shoes with a flower in my hair?

I hope that's not too many questions!
