DJ/Radio Producer-turned-Lawyer attempts to dress like a grown-up. Sometimes I comically fail. And I occasionally post fun stuff, like music videos, book-club reviews, or photos of beauty or oddity.
FYI: I was doing this entire blog from my Android phone, snatching moments out of my busy life for quick photos. But I hate auto-correct with a purple passion, so now I'm using the computer for most of the work. I am still using my phone for the photos, though. My photo sizes may be erratic, and the quality isn't stellar. I am not a professional blogger, and do not have time for lots of scenic poses with a great camera. I don't even own a great camera! However, I DO appreciate your continued feedback, even in the absence of photographic artistry.

Raiding my Space Bags

I finally got this jacket back from the cleaners, after raiding the Space Bags for clothing I've shrunken back into:



I had court and office work all day, then a bar association party in the evening, so I decided black would transition well.

It was part of a suit, but the skirt never fit me. I decided to follow my inspiration from other blogs, and actually wear the matching belt in a way not intended by the designer. The jacket is still too small to button up, and I removed the string beltloops ages ago.



Hubby thought I should show a side view... not really sure why, but OK:



The jacket, obviously, is crucial to the outfit... I just love the texture of the jacket fabric:



I love the contrast of the ruffles with the jacket tweedy fabric... but I'm glad they are black. White or purple would be "too cute" IMO.



And I broke out the big shiny earrings I'm still trying to get used to.

Jacket and belt: Gianni Petite via consignment shop
Pants: Lane Bryant
Earrings: Lia Sophia

    What a great jacket... and I love the way you used the belt...looks awesome! I also like the look you're giving your husband in the sideways photo- Mmmmm- He just wants us all to see how good you're looking. Nice.

    Boucle! Argh! It was on the tip of my brain yesterday... yes, it is.

    And the lighting was truly dreadful lol. I hate flourescent lighting, and often leave my office light off if I can.

    I always remove those awful string belt loops (my waist is never where they want it to be anyway). I love this jacket on you - great cut - and it's very flattering worn open like that, as it creates a nice long column down your front. Great idea wearing the belt with the top! Might have to steal that. :)
