Goodness ladies, thank you for all the really lovely comments! Re the fitted silhouette -- it makes me feel very exposed in a way that slouchier outfits, or even those with one oversized element, do not. Just something I'm working on getting past since the alternative with the majority of my pieces, overly slouchy outfits, are now making me simply feel sloppy which feels much worse. I'll get there!
Angie, that looks delightful! Liking the double-gold. I could do that, too ^^
Liz A, here is a link to the jeans. They're from LOFT and I think might come in a curvy fit as well.
