Thank you Shevia, Colette and Rachylou. I will definitely wear this with a sleeveless top. I have much better looking black tops than the one in the pic, which will make me happier to wear.
Ladypainter, your ideas are good ones. I can easily wear maximal jewelry and add a belt to a simple top. I can do New England flair, too! I had to laugh about the new wave cowboy look.....I should have put on my red cowboy boots with the plaid jacket. If I ever get invited to Go Texan Day I will be ready!
