Thanks for the lovely compliments and suggestions, friends.
BethT, the earrings are available from Nickel and Suede, a featured blogger here a while back. They're great because they are large but super lightweight. The cuff is a present from my brother that I've owned since I was about 8.
Elizabeth, it's hilarious that we both want to wear PJs to our dentist. Ha!! But seriously, what else? You have to lie there in that chair....
Beth Ann, you're right -- these pants don't photograph as nice as they feel.
CJ, thank you. I have a Pleione top not unlike that one you pictured. It's a tough silhouette for me to wear because with my small frame and smaller bust, the fabric sort of overwhelms me. But I really love the look so I keep aiming for it anyway, ha! And I am glad you found one that works for you.
Mary, Lisa, Vivian, it really is the cobalt, isn't it? I think I wore this same outfit last year with my black and white colour block tote. I love that bag, too, and of course it worked with it -- but this one seemed to add a little something special.
Jackie, I think you're right that this top works for me in summer because of the blonde. I get more blonde (like it or not -- just happens) and I get a bit of tan, and suddenly the chartreuse and blush are not as horrible as they are in the winter, LOL.
Maneera, isn't this pattern lovely? I couldn't resist it, even though I was aware that the colours might be a bit tricky. It seems like I always want one new printed silk top in my wardrobe each summer, and this was last summer's. I predict I will keep it for a long time.
