WIW 10/26: New version of an old favorite

I've posted before about how much I missed my teal swing jacket from Talbots after it got too big, and how thrilled I was to replace it with the Amber Sun jacket at this year's NAS. Here's an old favorite outfit with the new jacket substituted for the old. Big fun!!

Gray pencil skirt: Halogen
Gray watercolor print blouse: Halogen
Teal jacket: Amber Sun
Gray "snake" pumps: Jessica Simpson
Gray "croc" tote: Talbots via eBay

Thanks for looking. Which set of accessories do you think look best? Gray (photos 1 and 2) or blue (photo 3)?

P.S. Fun fact: I think photos 3 and 4 show the last time I wore the old jacket, whereupon you all convinced me that it was indeed just. plain. too. big. LOL

Love the grey accessories--grey and teal are perfect together. Thanks for the inspiration! I love #2, the jacket is perfect for you. Your arm is crying out for some arm candy though with those 3/4 sleeves...how about a bronze cuff to bring out the copper in your blouse?

I love all the grey color with the teal jacket. I always enjoy your post so much. I have that same blouse wish i had bought that jacket. You look amazing.

YAY! You are the best at replacing old favorites - just thinking of when we saw you in action hunting for olive pants. The new jacket gives the same vibe but fits you much better.

Great replacement! You look marvelous is teal. I like it with the grey bag best too -- lets the bag and the jacket stand out from one another.

Fantastic outfit. I can see why you love it. I like the grey....it is very sophisticated. The blue bag gives it an edgier vibe. You could go either way.

Definitely grey! Lovely outfit. The new jacket is gorgeous and the shape more attractive to my eye than the old one.
