I continue to be inspired by all of you and your beautiful outfits, so many thanks.
Just some clothes here for teaching and meeting days. I’ve included a couple of outfits that I wore for play or non-teaching days. Your comments are most welcome.
Pics 6 and 7 are of a “structured handbag” made for me by my dear SIL. We celebrate Sinterklaas and this was the package he created for my present. I thought you all might enjoy seeing it.

Polished and lovely as always. I adore that sweater coat in 2- Fairisle fabness. And those boots! Actually, all your boots! And cobalt is soooo good on you.

I want your green purse! SIL clearly has a future in fashion design. What are the details Of Sinterklaas?

I love #2. Tell us about your coat, please. It’s very intriguing.

There is never a glitch in your styling. You certainly know what flatters!
But I have to applaud SIL for creating the faux handbag! What a treasure!

Ok. Your boots and sweater in 5 are an amazing perfect match.

I love the coat in #1. I have a weakness for taupe, so #5 with the taupe and black is my favorite outfit. Love your Sinterklaas bag.

The sweater coat is lovely and really unusual.As always you provide a masterclass in chic ,understated dressing.

These are beautiful outfits. I love the way you play with silhouette and proportion and the coats in particular are fab.

Your "structured bag" is so much fun! Great wrapping for a fashion lover.

Karen13, we draw names. Each person writes a poem for whomever they drew. You then create a unique “package” for the person and enclose the poem and a gift within. It’s frequently making fun of the person, also. Sometimes it references an event from the past year or a personality characteristic.
JAileen, nothing special about this sweater coat. I got it several years ago at TJMaxx in Duluth. I have seen similar at Marshall’s in Reno, if you’re looking.
Bj111, my clothes are all pretty basic so I don’t do much changing around from year to year. I do have a rule that if I buy something, something else has to go.
Thank you all so much for your kind comments. I treasure them.

I love all of your polished outfits. My favorites are 2 with the red boots and 5 with the drapey cable sweater. Looks great!

I always feel like a hot mess after viewing your outfits, and your living room . All of these ensembles are great, but I love, love, love the outfit in photo #5. Love it. *runs off to throw out all jewellery, scarves and extraneous home decor items*.

I love your style, all the outfits are just excellent. I can’t pick a favourite. You are so elegant. I like your scarf in no 3, very pretty. Is it an infinity scarf or have you tied it somehow? It looks very chic and interesting.

Oh, and the feaux handbag is fantastic, so much fun!

Katerina, I sewed the scarf together to make in an infinity. Nevertheless, it was in my desk by 10 am. Can’t stand the fuss.

Wonderful!! 1,2 and 5,are my favorites. I, too, enjoy sweater jackets and coats but I certainly don't have those red booties. Scarves are difficult for me to wear; I often tug and pull and then yank them off my neck unless it's ice cold outdoors. Can't stand the fuss.

SUCH great outfits, all of them! I really enjoy your style. I have a Dutch friend who always tells me about his Sinterklaas poems and gifts.

These are all just right - not too little, not too much. Fit is perfect too. The gift package is so clever!

I like the simplicity of outfit #5. Gray and loose shirts are my thing!
