I'm thrilled that #3 is getting so much approval and even a Killer from Angie! Thank you so much for your enthusiasm for this outfit.
I'm wondering how to improve the first outfit and Jonesy, you have a wonderful idea to try a denim shirt instead of the black turtleneck. Looking at the photos, I'm thinking that maybe those boots are not so fab with this skirt. I have to cinch the buckles tighter than they were meant to be to fit the leg for skirts, but it may be too much. The skirt, like several I own, is a size too big so that it sits low on the waist and gives more length. It's a pencil that fits more like an a-line. It's Brooks Brothers via Goodwill. Should I have it narrowed to be more fitted?

I also think #3 is pretty killer!!!
I also realized something from this post I never realized before...I like vertical stripes MUCH more than horizontle...in fact I don't like horizontally at all...but the vertical stripes in your blouse really appeal to me
Thanks Joy...you may just convert me...vertically of course!:)

#3 rocks my boat!! You are quickly becoming a pattern mixing expert!

#3 is TDF! #1 is pretty too but much more subtle. That last outfit just WOWS with style and fabness - what a terrific pattern mix.

I can't stop thinking about #3! I think I'm adding a flowered cardigan and striped shirt to my list... Love it!

joining the #3 fan club! That one is just fab!

Geez you've got it going on Joy!!!
And 3 is BRILLIANT to the max!!!!!!!!!!! B_R_I_L_L_I_A_N_T!!!!!
