Curious about the school boy.

How is this different than a navy blazer? Gold buttons, wool twill... Also, love that my boys wear a school boy too.

Don't overlook the Tippi!

The most flattering sweater I've worn in ages, 3/4 sleeves, wide neckline, curvy fit. More colors here.

Some shoes

More Jackie

Basics.

Well, not exactly but this does hit at the high hip. Good length for me, dreamy color, anxious to try on!

Stripes.

Heavy, stiffer fabric, XS too big. Not so sure I like the horizontal boxiness. None of these are just right, the perfect drapey, navy and white, think petite bateau.

Let's talk J Crew.

Love the love a-line skirt. Strange length? Maybe I don't need to be all a-line all the time? Certainly don't like the frumpy vampire styling in this pic. Wonder what other colors it comes in.
Looking forward to hose, boots.

Great vest, will a Jackie shell suffice?

Mmm... color. Silhouette, not sure. Maybe just go for a great jacket instead.

The shoes, colorway of fall. Blue pants, ordered. Shoes: must have. Grey shirt, and the brown... where does that come in in my wardrobe? Of course the outfit is the coat. Love the haphazard mixing of neutrals.

What I bought.

J Crew skirt (above) not nearly as flattering, feminine as Talbot's below. See waistline.

Returned. A disaster of a dress. No zipper, hard to get in to. A stiff fabric balloon around my body, without the exquisite legs peeking through.
