Hi everyone!
I just got home from teaching all day and am going to meet hubby for dinner at a very casual place. I felt like being a bit dressy.(for me)
I thrifted this shirt because of the color. The jacket is a piece I found on consignment. The designer is Alberto Makali.
I never heard of him, have you?
I am not sure if the bracelet and necklace are too matchy. I usually wear one at a time but took off my watch and decided to wear both.

Love this, Jean! That jacket is so fab! Never heard of him either, but the jacket adds SO much to your outfit. Wow.

You look beautiful Jean! I love everything about that outfit, it is so you! I have actually heard of that designer, but can not remember when/how/in what context. Nevertheless, the jacket is gorgeous!

Jean, the jacket and rusty red top are great, but I especially like the subtle sparkle from your jewelry. Looks great!

Each piece in this outfit is fab Jean and then put all together - wow, gorgeous combination! That jacket is fantastic - I would wear that in a heartbeat. And I love the jewelry.

Loving the colors (you are genius at picking color, but you knew that I love the jacket silhouette too. But that necklace is to die for! Did you get that at a local boutique?

These are great colors on you and I love the whole outfit. I see a lot of Makali at Nordstrom Rack but I think it's usually more printed items if I recall but not on the cheap racks. It's an interesting cut and looks great the way you've styled it.

Love it!!! You are so lucky to find unique and beautiful pieces such as this jacket on consignment.

No, not matchy-matchy at all.

Jean, you look beautiful in these colors, and the jewelry adds just the right amount of sparkle. A fabulous outfit for date night and I hope you have a wonderful time.

This is so great. I love the slouch of those boots as contrasted to the ladylike jacket.

You are the opposite of eye strain - eye soothing? Ok a lame way to give a compliment - you look fantastic. The bracelet and necklace might match but that don't look too matchy at all to me.

Accessories are not too matchy! The boots are a clever complement to the dressier vibe of the jacket. As always your color combinations are sophisticated and inspire me to pull together my wardrobe in different ways.

Wow Jean, you are stunning as usual! Love the subtly sparkly rust top and jeans and matching boots and the jacket is great with it. The jewelry is so pretty too. The whole combination is just perfect!

God, I fall for those boots over and over and over, each time I see them on you!

Stunning!
Are those Frye harness boots?
The jacket has such a gorgeous shape. I've seen that designer at Nordstrom too, but mainly associate that brand with elaborately printed and scrunched-fabric blouses (how's that for a description??).

KILLER as always.

Know the designer. Quite big at Nordies.

I just LOVE this - the brown and gray are incredible combo. I see Makali at Nordstrom also - that jacket is cut well for you.
