I am deeply relieved to tell you that it went below 70° today in Chicagoland. It will be 90 again tomorrow, but today I could try on the jacket with jeans and actual shoes and socks. I also wanted to share with you the fantastic packaging that the jacket came in. An inner plastic bag to hold the jacket full length, several layers of protective paper, including cardboard button shields and then a full length garment bag. I was very impressed. I will definitely change the buttons on this jacket, and I'm hoping to find some dull silver or pewter Western -looking buttons.

Yesterday I wore lime green cotton gauze and white linen pants, so as to have as little clothing touching my body as possible. The top is Oh My Gauze. Very dusty mirror!
