LA and Lady, thanks for the "boost", it really does help me. I am trying to step out of my comfort zone and luckily I have more than enough clothes to do try it with.
Aida, fab, fab, ideas. The scarf is actually a long rectangle. And I WILL be using Mary's board. I just love scarves but I don't have a tying repertoire. I always forget about pushing up sleeves. I will have to start keeping a small notebook with everyone's suggestions so that I remember next time.
Karie, LOL !!! Yes that would be going for broke !!!!
JJ, yes, I can role the pants. They have zippers, but they are flexible and dark. I tried it after you suggestion this morning and I think it will work.
Krish, I am strating to think that it is the length. I have long torso and I am 5.5 but most of it is torso. Luckily my mom is a great seamstress. The pants have ankle zippers, but in the past my mom has removed them, shortened the pants and put shorter zippers on. That may be the route I go here.
Thank you Shevia , Aubergine, Angie, Jackie, Acarambola and Janet !!!
Jen, yes that made sense. It does seem that if you touch them there will be texture. They are really, really soft. I really like them. I just need to fix the length. I LOVE your idea of a silky T or something more A line. That would solve the tummy problem...DUH! : ) I tried the jacket, I am not sure about the color scheme. I will have to play with it. Maybe with a white shirt it would look better.
Beth, I think that I have to go shorter because of the zipper thing. But I am starting to see that the length is off.
Tracy, yes the shoe is a low wedge. It is navy leather with a raffia wedge. I really, really like them and have worn them quite a bit already this mom.
