I apologize for taking so long to chime back in for this post. I am usually right on top of my thank you's but work is being rather selfish and taking up far too much personal time lately. Now onto the thanks!
Kellygirl-Thanks! The shawl was love at first sight. So was the pink blazer. Two additions I am very happy to add to my wardrobe.
Angie-Thanks! Work has me dressing up more than in the past, and it's been a challenge to find trousers that are flattering. Especially since I prefer bootcut and flairs for business style trousers. The skinny jean style has definitely overflowed into business wear bottoms.
Shevia and AM and Karie-Thanks! The shawl and blazer are my two favorite pieces right now.
Laura-Thanks! One of my favorite things about blazers, they instantly make an outfit feel more polished to me. Especially with jeans. It's a go to formula for me at work.
Ruth M-Thanks!
Suz-Thanks! The idea to pair the blazer with the Theory jumper is a great suggestion! The jumper is too bulky for the blazer, but I'm adding a lighter weight knit to my list for next year.
Isabel-Thanks! I'm a big fan of blazers dressing up jeans, I feel like it makes an outfit look more polished and I'm happy to hear that vibe is showing in my outfits.
CocoLion-*waving* It's nice to be posting again (or at least trying to keep up with it). I agree, I think the bootcut jeans I have now WERE straights at one point. I don't really see 'bootcuts' often anymore. In fact, out of my two pairs of cowboy boots, only one fits underneath my 'bootcut' jeans anymore without showing a bulge.
Retailgirl-Thanks! BB still makes some of the best quality clothing around, at least that I've been able to find in my area lately.
Jackiec-Thanks! I'm a big fan of blues and the cranberry blazers pairs perfectly with blue!
Tanya-Thanks! I adore the drapey vibe of the cape. It's a fun change of pace from blazers for layering. You would ROCK a cape!
Diana-Thanks! I know the warmer weather is coming, but it's been one heck of a winter!
Rachylou-Thanks! If you try out Abeo I'd be curious to hear if they work for you. I've been sporting heels often lately for work and very pleased with them since I have problematic feet (and after having foot surgery I will NOT bend of the footwear comfort).
Christinana and Frannieb-Thanks!
