Thank you for your kind words about the outfit and your sympathy re the sudden end of the jacket! I could see that Jacket being worn alot through Spring and not so hot Summer but...
Angie, thank you! And my pleasure, I have a very strong sense of social justice and fairness and I couldn't not respond
Christy, lol, nothing stalkerish about it. We did start participating here about the same time and I really relate to your style, so I too have really enjoyed following your outfits and journey here. Correct me if I am wrong but I think we may have shared a similar challenge in terms of casual wear. Until YLF I always struggled with putting together casual non-work outfits. I love corporate and work wear and had heaps of it but didn't really wear jeans and had no idea how to translate the look I like into casual wear. And then going from full time to part time work meant my need for smart casual became more important. Not to mention our shared love of neutrals!!
And for the record, the skirt I wore in my first WIW was never really 'me'. It now lives in my mother's closet and she loves it.
And if anyone sees a similar jacket please let me know I love Angie's Zara jacket, however I felt the abstract pattern was more me than a floral.
