Orange is such a happy-making color! I do have orange gear (and this bag is in my favorite baseball team’s colors), and an orange bike. So I work orange into my life when I can! A bag is a perfect way to do that. There is even a little bit of orange in the fordite ring I am wearing in this outfit, but that may be hard to see in the photo.

Absolutely gorgeous on you. Between you and Angie, a hoodie is now on my most coveted list...The orange bag is a great way to add colour too.

FABULOUS look - works so well for your lifestyle, Janet. KILLER new bag too.

The hoodie effectively relaxes the blazer, doesn't it. Perfect package timing indeed. And I'm nostalguc about the Boston BCBG blazer.

What a great example of how to do a perfectly polished but casual look. This really suits you, too. I’m furiously taking notes.

LOVE this. I wish my blazers would allow for layering underneath but most of them are quite tailored fit. I want to copy this if I can!

I had a very similar merino hoodie tee that was a staple for years. Wore it til it was full of holes -- great layering piece!
