Brenda- another ovation from me! You look fabulous in this! Love this cropped cardi on you-- so cheeky looking.
I really don't think it's a coincidence that your new stuff makes up the best outfits. The new looks add freshness that styles 5 or so years old just don't.
Also, I will admit that my first impression was that the dress could stand to be a tad shorter. Right at or above your knee would make it perfect IMO.
