Rae, Beth Ann, Anne, Debora, and Ali, THANKS for your sweet compliments. I really appreciate them.
Parlsey, Suz, and Una, I am tickled that this is your favorite outfit that I've posted. Thank you!
AJ, "pattern mixing expert level"? Thanks so much. YES, I did feel fab. In fact, I wasn't planning to take a pic, as I had some trouser jeans on. Then, right before leaving the house I changed into the skirt and thought *snap* and got hubs to take a pic. I knew I was onto something : )
Aida, you are right. I do feel so much more comfortable about the arrival of summer this year. It's sweet of you to remember how I struggled last year. I'm glad you like this outfit!
Suz, Angie, Sveta, Jeanne, Jonesy, and Shevia, thanks! I feel rather sheepish that I totally forgot that these shoes might be the right color. Honestly, I thought that they were more PINK than they actually are. They're the color I've been looking for all along! I'm glad I gave you a good laugh, Suz. How embarrassing!
Jonesy, thank you! This is the Gap blazer, that, interestingly, got rather mixed reviews when I posted it as a K/R. But Angie gave it the thumbs up, and I felt good about, so I held onto it. Just goes to show, sometimes you have to go with your gut. I'm glad you like it!
