Dear YLF,

Thank you for your kind words on my last post, I usually don't like to bring up to the front old posts but would like to let you know that all the comments are appreciated.

I guess the best part of both the following outfits is that the weather has been warm enough to wear them.

I have been more introvert (online and IRL) than usual because I have been reevaluating my life. Nothing dramatic, just a question of needing a change of pace. I have been doing a course online, volunteering, taking care of my family and friends and overall trying to be truer to what I believe is the right thing.

Going back to Portugal and having a gravelly ill parent was a really wake up call in many ways.

Anyway, I just wanted to explain somehow my on and off presence.

Back to the outfits

1- I bought this Danier leather jacket 2 years ago but haven't worn it much in the past . This year it has come out more and it makes me happy because it is a interesting mix of very dark burgundy, almost brown.

2- Do this count as cropped pants? I have been wondering about that.I bought this faux layered sweater this year and have really been enjoying it.

Thank you for looking. Comments and suggestions welcome.
