Hi Peacechick, Neel, SDMom, Beth Ann, AJ, GoldenPig, Word Lily and Scarlet --
Thank you all! Luckily I kept my balance while goofing around for that shot or I might have had to solict GP's professional advice vs style input.
I have to say channeling Emma Peel is about as "edgy" as I get but it's definitely a fun look. My pal, Mr Vix, and the dog all approved.
The jacket was perfect for the (mercifully dry) outings and the knit panels make it super comfortable. I tried to get a shot showing the thumbholes...tied with the knit insets and the extensive seaming for my favorite design element.
[I'm still getting used to the stiffness of the coated jeans but as you can see I can at least bend my legs in them, ha.]
ps Beth Ann, WLily and Scarlet -- an extra thanks for appreciating my earrings. After a few years of procrastinating I got them changed from screwback to post recently and wear them so much more now that I'm not worried about them sliding off my lobe. Wish I'd done it sooner.
