Gretchen, thank you. It is a asymmetrical hem, with a kind of fold of fabric to the right side. Lovely, wool, lined. May be it is strong saturated colours. Good thinking! A colour I have yet to try is the conker / saffron colour that I think you are thinking of wearing.
Jenni, thank you, these are long days on the commute, I am sure your sister finds it the same, because I leave the house in the dark and then arrive back when it is dark.
Suz, that is so lovely to read; I really don't want to lose a feminine look! I feel so easy wearing scarves (especially now I can wear the red one in a neat way - it doesn't boss me around now!)
Angie, thank you, yay, 20! Big smile and an inch taller! I was so pleased with the poufy blazer but the back is a little big, next time I need to remember to not just look at the front. Yes, I am energised and happy! I need to keep in mind that I want to keep all four 'p's including the pretty!
LisaP, I thought you would like the scarf. There is a new AMQ store that has opened recently on Bond Street, and in the double height front window, they suspended the various AMQ motifs - lots of butterflies especially. Thank you for your wonderful boosting comments.
Thank you Aquamarine. Jussie, thank you! Thank you kkards, I have been enjoying rediscovering my love of belts. Thank you Smittie.
Thank you bj1111, it is a very large square in a kind of light wool. It drapes so well.
Thank you Isabel!
