I love this, Joy! This combination is quite classic, actually, and if the young want to make something their own, they're going to have to stop selling classic blouses and crew neck sweaters! I think the whole think is terrific. The cocoon sweater does, perhaps, overwhelm the rest of the outfit a bit, but then, when it's cold one makes certain trade offs!

Thank you all for your comments. I will wear these pieces and not worry about being inappropriate. Shelia, I suspected that maybe the SA didn't want an old lady to wear their things and cause younger customers to have second thoughts.

Beautiful as always, Joy. I'm loving silvery grey myself this winter. Just bought this scarf at H&M!

Thank you for showing us the scarf. I may need to find an H&M in this new-to-me area very soon.

Joy, I'm glad I could be helpful!
