Isabel - I’ve decided he doesn’t need to see it before I wear it.
He may or may not like it, but when I decided not to look more once I had it in hand, I’ll seek my approval here instead. It will be very comfortable too, and I like that it’s different than what I’ve worn in the past. The sales lady said I looked very confident in it, so she could tell I felt good.
Next, like Angie said, I’ll need to sort out shoes and jewelry. I will probably need to get new shoes, since I’ve recently given up heels over 1 1/2 inches, and that means pretty much all of my dressy shoes are now gone. The length of the pants is quite long. I’ll definitely need to test out the shoes with the outfit to make sure length is appropriate.
