Inge, you have such an eye for detail. I appreciate your compliments, along with your explanation of what you're seeing.
Approprio, Karie, and Museumgal, you're right that I don't wear ruffles much anymore. I was trying out a different way of wearing the cardigan. In the past I wore it all fastened (it has hidden hooks up the front), over a cami or scoop-neck layer. Here, I tried a more casual boho effect, open over the tee. I think you are right that it still doesn't really look like my style.
Museumgal, you've now put Katharine Hepburn in my mind as a style icon--thank you! Wait till you see the most recent pair of pants I made. They are very KH-esque. They will come out on a relatively dry day, though, as they have a wide, straight leg.
Windchime, thanks for the idea of adding the scarf--good thought!
Rachylou, I'm smiling at the Princess Di reference.
Thanks, Shiny. My Paul Green shoes are some of my very favorites. They are so comfortable. Even though they are expensive, I feel like they are a great value, because they're so well made, too. So far I've taken the same size in each style that I've bought in the brand.
Oh, and Dianthus, I'm so flattered! Thank you.
