WIW: Deploying scrunch & skirt from the Angie arsenal

#3 Yesterday, I wore this fab striped Ralph Lauren shirt that I scored at the YLF swap party - only fitting to use Angie's scrunch strategy for the sleeves.

#1-2 Today, I'm finally implementing an idea I had ages ago when Angie posted her Dressy Skirt and Denim Jacket formula. I went hunting for an office-appropriate, denim jacket substitute, but came up short until - again - the YLF swap. MaryK, I cannot stop wearing this jacket! Look, the collar even stays popped! Rounding out the outfit is another YLF nod in a $1 watch purchased at the San Diego flea market.

My own touch? The watch doesn't work, and I don't intend to try and fix it! DH and I both use watches as bracelets nowadays. I always had difficulty telling time, anyway.

Wow Rae - #2 is AMAZING!

I like them both! I'm partial to #1 because I love Ralph shirts and dresses as jumpers. Funny about the non-working watch. I would die without mine (and feel quite naked without it) as I do not use my cellphone much (which I think most people now use for their time?)

Love them both! Wait, didn't you say on another thread that you can't wear fit-and-flare dresses? And isn't that one in 2? AND it looks fabulous on you?! I doubt there's anything you can't wear and make work for you.

*fist pump* for the K-rating - I only copy the best, you know!

Jeanne, yes, I've been using a cell phone to tell time for a long time. And before that, I didn't need to know the time, because I had no plans beyond those announced by a schoolyard bell, lol.

IS this a fit and flare dress? I always thought of it as A-line, hmm. I guess I was thinking that a fit and flare had to have the gathers/pleats at the waist. I need to find a fashion glossary.
