Now, you're each cracking me up with the "sack dress cat comments," which I love, of course! Thank you for your thoughts on these, and Krish, I appreciate your opinions and 4 was a bit of an afterthought as I seldom wear this dress, have very white legs and wasn't quite sure how to pull it all together. It's a comfortable dress on cooler days and your idea of a hat may have done the trick to bring the style quotient up a notch. As for my shoes in photo 5, (and, yes, I'd be most honored to have you copy), I "think" I was wearing some lime green Born flats. My white Zara booties, with silver toe studs, would have also worked. Angie's wedge Cons, which I don't own, would probably look pretty nice, too. Hope this helps.

HAHA! The cat is not out of the bag!

I love all of these, Vicki - you just radiate summer sassiness.

Oh dear, I'm no good with pithy cat comments. I'm in a dog household, and feline and canine charm are quite different, I'm afraid. Still, even as a dog lover, I must confess that cats seriously outshine their fellow mammals when it comes to modeling skills. Nothing poses like a kitty!

I don't know how you manage such consistency in your smart-casual wardrobe. I love the way you dress up basic, but perfect fitting, items with little things like a belt or colorful shoe. #1 and #5 are my favorites, although I'd wear all of them in a heartbeat.

You look terrific - what gorgeous colors on you, esp. in #5!
