Sal, I get that a short sleeved sweater works well for your climate. I think it can work well here too, actually. Thanks for the palette suggestions! I'd like to wear the toffee with bright red, orange, pink, lime and citron - as well as navy and cream.
Appreciate the sweet words of support bonnie, Sarah, Vintage Dawn and nuancedream!
JAileen, thanks for the extra birthday prezzie enabling. I like the way you think
Suntiger and Jules, surprisingly, there is no layering problem with the ruffled sweater. (Read my comment above). Thanks for the kind words!
April, always good to have definitive NO THANK YOUS!
Dana, you're a honey pie! Such a sweet comment. I hope to get whiskey short booties to match
