With the need for toppers in the cold AC even in summer, some kind of topper is necessary. In my warm climate, with a 20+ temp difference between day and evening, sometimes between costal and a few miles inland, toppers are a big part of year round wardrobe, even though heavier jackets and coats only get a few months wear.

I have had little problem with blazers as they work well for me over everything except maxis. But with the addition of some oversized tops, and a couple of my recent fluid top purchases I am having difficulty finding toppers to work. Anyone have ideas about proportion, what kind to wear when more structured blazers scrunch the tops ?,,somehow drapey cardis seem like too much fabric.

I am 5' 3", with shorter body and long legs. I buy regular size pants mostly 4 or 6 sizes, but 10 or 12 tops and jackets. Mostly like petite tops as they are not too long on my short body. also fitting in jackets that fit is not easy as I have broad shoulders-actually if it weren't for my bigger boobs I would have a more masculine looking body,

So after the big shoe purge, getting new ones, getting my impulse shoe buying under control, I have to do something about my jacket collection, but reluctant to do so as even though I seldom wear some of them, I feel that with them gone I am at a loss for replacements..And maybe someone can give some advice as to the over wearing of the denim jackets--or an alternative..
