Cardiff girl & nemosmom - I really love it too.
Janet - Sigh, I hear you on full-length pants that are long enough! Also nodding about the V-necks. And yes, I could totally see you rock that top as you described.
Re those Theory trousers: YESSSSS!!! The second I saw them, I could totally picture you wearing them and making them your own with pieces like you added above. Amazing with the black booties, and my word, the animal print booties would be so gorgeous too!!!
Joy - Those pants would look wonderful on you. And I'm all for that mint jacket or sweater
