lyn67- I don't think Spring is quite on its way to us here yet - it is bitterly cold today at -36 with windchill.....brrrr......
Elizabeth - I think you could pull off the light jacket and dark pants no problem. Give it a go! And I'm giggling at your comment about "for now" with my short hair
Shevia, TrekkieGrl, Diane, Robidi - thank you all so much
Celia - I forgot you had this jacket! Isn't it just the best? Who knew a light colored leather jacket would be so versatile. I don't think the purple highlight in my hair will limit my color choices. I had a slight concern that it would clash with my red specs but the two look great together IMHO.
Eliza - I'm thrilled with my how my stylist made the purple just peeking through. I don't want it to be super obvious but just enough that people will go "hey...did I just see a bit of purple?"
Suz - you would rock a colored streak in your hair. Just sayin...
Jackie - thrilled that the Clarks worked out for you. They are incredibly comfortable all day long. I actually went back to buy the cognac too since they are so fab but they were sold out of my size - might try to find them somewhere else though.
Olivegreen - thank you so much for your styling suggestions. Unfortunately the top is sleeveless so not practical to wear without a topper in our cold winter climate.
Lisa - I definitely would not feel the same about the colored streak had it been super obvious. As my stylist said "sweetie, you're not 20 and you don't want to play Rainbow Bright with your hair" - ha! We wanted the color to be subtle and she totally pulled it off.
Sara - I love the asymmetry of this top and would definitely like to find more with this type of angular shape.
Ruthe - you are so sweet! Thank you
