Thank you so much for your kind comments. ladies!
OK, the combined YLF wisdom confirmed that I can wear this blouse in public so I will! Carla, I may just try it with the white culottes.
For those who like it better without the vest: this is how I wore it for the most of the day because it was very warm. The vest went over just in the morning and at some point during the day when I was feeling cold.
Yes, I will try different boots with the culottes next time - I am not ready to give up on them yet. Stay tuned!
Jules, I ordered the rust pants online - only black were available in our store. I tried black on for sizing and ordered rust online. The only problem is that online it is more expensive as the price is the same but in US$ but I got a discount so it was not too bad. I see they are back in stock for some sizes, hopefully you can get yours.
Aliona, thanks for the hair comment. I really struggle with my hair which is fine, thin, straight and defies any styling so it is nice to hear it does not look too awful (I cringe every time I see my pictures).
Laurie, actually my legs are average length for my height. Angie also rocks these flares and she had average length legs as well so unless your legs are on the short side you should give them a try!
Ginger, your variation of the Ukrainian blouse outfit sounds really nice, I hope to see it here!
