Chris - I had vowed not to take online risks and there I was doing it again. But I did figure that I could resell the jacket and for the colour it was worth it - so a risk but a calculated one.
Smittie - I love lace too. I have a few lace dresses, but they are more difficult to make casual, whereas the lace tops with jeans is a nice alternative to a blouse or knit and practical for my warm climate.
Nemosmom - I knew the sandwich would be appreciated!
Fashintern - thank you - it was just a photo that my husband took and so funny because hanging out on a Saturday morning for brunch is one of my most favourite things to do. Kiddo was off at a ju jitsu lesson, so DH and I have a Saturday morning "date" so to speak.
Christy - the tweed jacket is old (like about 12 years old) and I have not been wearing it much - so that was the main reason I was thinking about passing it on. I have other jackets that I prefer with this sheath dress. I do have a bit of a thing about Chanel and tweed, so I am sort of attached to it for that reason only. I have a tweed jacket that I adore, so maybe I should just wear that one more often.
LisaP - yes the quality is so evident and made me realise why VB jackets come at a higher price point than my usual clothing.
Janet - yes me too!
TG - your uniform is perfect on you and there is nothing wrong with sticking with a formula that works.
Karen13 - how interesting the definition is. Maybe this is my formula rather than uniform. I don't want to be monotonous but a certain amount of consistency is OK.
Angie - Queen Cheesy Smile - well that is just too fun!
Alyssa - turquoise and white is always such a nice fresh combination.
Sal - I think the red shoes would probably lift the black dress and tweed jacket combination. I will have to add some colour in the mix to make it feel more like me.
Column - that is fun that we have the same uniform.
Shevia - thank you - you have a smile that lights up a room.
Suz - glad you like the tweed jacket. I had a meeting with lawyers, so I wanted to tone things down a little that day. On the weekends I can be a bit more out there in my style. The new turquoise jacket is so lovely - I think that is now my new quality benchmark.
