Sorry to take so long to get back here. Friends are with us for Easter so have had to sneak away to drop by .
Kari, thank you so much. Knowing you Are putting this on your inspiration board is so humbling! I can certainly see you doing this combination of layering to perfection.
Suz and Meredith, the dress is a number of years old and is a light weight summer knit. I generally like a more structured and substantial fabrication and I sometimes don't feel "secure" in this dress. I may see if I can replicate this look with another more tailored
black dress.
Suz, the shirt was $20.00 from a chain store. It's just polyester, but is exactly what I had been looking for. It sits nicely, fabric hangs well and this was it's second outing. I wore it a week or so ago untucked over my black skinnies with a long silver and pearl necklace (collar open).
Angie, the ultimate compliment FROM a woman with impeccable and amazing style...thank you.
Thank you all for your generous comments, I was not expecting so much love for this outfit. xxx
