Not what you're thinking, but I had to get you to check out my more-exposed photo from tonight's Cocolion gathering (couldn't add to MaryK's thread)! I missed all the shopping, but still had the BEST time. Since I knew most of the gals from previous meetups, I was less reserved than usual... my giant (strong!) mai tai helped, too. I miss everyone already and can't wait for the next event!

And what did I do when I got home? Why, I tried on an Ann Taylor haul, of course. That's my personal afterparty.

2-4 black aviator, size 0. I knew it fit loose from the photo, so I sized down - could have gone down one more size, probably, but I like this fit, too. The shoulders are stronger than I'm used to. Is it too much for me or make me too IT? Orange top going back because of scandalously low keyhole.

5-6 Detail shots, since black is so hard to photograph. I like the dual closure w/ zipper and buttons, plus the "neck spat" or whatever it's called at the collar, and the cutaway hem.

7-9 "Lime Twist" top that looked citron online, but came out plain ol' yellow if you ask me. I don't have this color - is it sour enough to look good on me? Does it look okay tucked for business days?

ETA some better pix. of jacket. Shoulder pads extend about 1/2 inch past shoulder seam. Could also investigate removal of shoulder pads.
