Thank you all so much for your lovely kind comments
Jenni, thank you. It is brown and black stripe in colour - our bedroom was quite sunny (rare - it’s been raining a lot recently!). I’m going to try it with a shirt and see how it looks. Looking forward to seeing your waistcoat.
Thank you Cardiffgirl, I love the denim jacket - it is four years old now, it doesn’t get a huge amount of wear but I do enjoy wearing it when I do. Thank you for noticing my nails. I look forward to seeing your waistcoat too. I’ve worn the bomber a couple of times over the weekend - thank you for your encouragement.
Thank you Brooolyn, yes that’s a good idea, I’ve a pair of culottes that I think it could look good with.
Thank you CarolS!
Thank you Taylor!
Thank you Avicenna - it’s a good call on the formality of the waistcoat vs blazer - thank you. I like to wear new clothes so I expect it will get an outing soon.
Thank you so much Angie! That is so nice of you to say, happy dance! Ahh yes a dress and the waistcoat I hadn’t thought of that. It’s super isn’t it that DS can pass things on to me!
Thank you Sal, that’s kind of you. I honk the waistcoat could be interesting to see how I get on with it!
Thank you Rachylou!
Thank you Shevia - ah yes vests - I couldn’t remember what the US term for waistcoat was!
Thank you Notsaf!
Thank you Kellygirl I never know when an item is going to create static for me! So it was risky with the pleated skirt but so good it wasn’t a problem!
