You comments are are so helpful. I hoped that by tucking the top, the jacket wouldn't bee too short for pants. I'm still not sure. Next time I'll try a longer top worn untucked with the jacket. I've not tried that.
Claire, you do French style so well.
JAileen, thank you for chiming in on the neckline.
Ceit, I'll never think of this jakcet in the same way again )
Thistle, thank you for the kind comments. Do you think the jacket would be better with winter white (whiter) pants?
Suz, I new you'd love these booties and am so glad that you have a pair. The jacket zipped up to form a tutrleneck is still comfortable. It stands away from the neck a bit. I've not tried this jacket with a skirt. that's a good idea. I don't have a winter white skirt, but maybe the dove grey Halogen pencil skirt will stand in.
jwomack, I'll try a longer shirt under tha jacket soon and post photos. Good idea.
Lulu and Shannon, I can see what you mean about the unzipped jacket being better with the jeans. Thank you for your encouragement.
