There are days when I still feel funny when I'm wearing what I consider weekend wear but those are the days I usually get compliments on my attire.

The sense of style comes thru in the maquillage and one or two well-chosen accessories. I wore a similar outfit as a young woman back in the 1980's and you are reminding me of the appeal of this style of dressing :)tinyjuncohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03614867046924013061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-80189159494441886332015-06-08T10:02:57.793-04:002015-06-08T10:02:57.793-04:00Carolyn I'm so glad you've 'turned the...Carolyn I'm so glad you've 'turned the corner' about giving away some of your corporate outfits that no longer fit. I retired 2 years ago and it took nearly that much time to give away the corporate outfits I no longer wear. It's hard when you've hand sewn these babies but knowing that others can use them helps. Love all your new separates.

And I was using this to test the top pattern but it came together so nicely that I decided to just wear it. It won't work for when it's really hot but it will be fine for spring/early summer/fall wearings.
