Thank you all so much for your replies!
Carter, I think this is the first time I've tried a half tuck, but the blouse was difficult to tuck at all. I ended up doing a full tuck, but the back part kept escaping.
April, this is pretty radical pattern mixing for me and not one person said anything which probably means that no one liked it. I did the same mix about a year ago but buttoned the cardigan. That seemed more successful.
Inge, out are so kind and encouraging. The v neck over the white tee was very comfortable and just the right weight for the day. I was thinking column of white with a third piece.
Suz, it has sometimes been warming up to jean rolling temperatures at mid-afternoon, but I have to confess that I wore sheer nude stockings under the jeans for more warmth. It's too cold for bare legs and feet.
Thank you, Celeste, Ingunn, MsMaven, and Runcarla, for your kind words.
Lyn, those loafers are lighter toned blush in real life. The belt is too long but I love the blush color.
Caro, you are right that the weather messes with my mind. I 'm wearing old round toe shoes in some of these because I didn't want to ruin my newer pointy toed shoes in the rain and mud.
Aida, thank you. I'm working on finding low heeled pointy toe pumps that are comfortable.
