Thanks, Everyone! I’m excited to play with the new jacket! It feels very me and is a nice change from a blazer.
@crutcher: Thank you! I think you are right--the bomber will likely become a summer work horse
@Astrid: Thanks! I thought the addition of the denim vest made the shoes more intentional. (I’m still working/thinking on my black sandal purchase--afraid to cut the tags until I try one last pair.)
@pil: Thanks! I saw the Caslon blazer at Nordies too. It is almost the exact color. Glad that you are enjoying yours!
@Marmee: Thank you. The H&M ones are a good way to test them out. I’m pretty sure the exaggerated crotch drop of the EF ones would have put my kids over the edge. I’m going to have to work up to those.
@JG: Lol! I’m taking that as a compliment
@Caro: Thanks. Ha--“baby” harem is a great term!
@Aida: Thank you. I’m glad that you think the flax color will be versatile. I am making a mental note to try it with brights too. The arms are definitely a little long on me. I think my arms are average length--no TRex action over here I could see the bomber working very well on you too.
@sarah and shevia: Thanks!
@Firecracker: Thank you! Yes, scrunched is definitely better but I’m happy with them down too. The lining feels like a stretchy pima and is so nice against the skin. (It’s probably poly masquerading as pima but I’m afraid to check.)
@Denise: Thank you! I see your read my post in Anna’s thread It was a nice change!
@jackiec: Thanks for encouraging me to try it. You must be really tall if this was too short on you. Perhaps this years version is longer? I feel like my torso is average even though my height is below average. You might want to take a look at it again.
@Angie: Thank you so much! You made my day
