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.

New jacket

I picked this up on clearance at JC Penney, but had to take it in for tailoring, of course. I still feel like the waist is a bit big. Your thoughts?



See what I mean?



I'm also wondering whether I should baste down some of the pleats on the back... just enough to keep them from sticking out too much.



Hair and accessories... fail. I love this necklace and earrings, but the necklace doesn't work with this top as well as I hoped:

(Curses! I thought I had a stored pic, but I don't see one in my photobucket! It's the same necklace in the header photo)

The earrings went OK, though:



I couldn't figure out if the jacket is black-and-white, or if it "reads" gray. Because I want to wear it with my navy pants, I puzzled on this. I decided to take my cue from the buttons and lining, which are gray. Good call?



Jacket: Worthington from JC Penney
Top: via Goodwill
Pants: Lane Bryant
Necklace: Premier Designes gift from M-I-L
Earrings: Premier Designs gift from Hubby

    The jacket details are nice, the colour is great ( definitely looks gray) and I love the length. I think the jacket looks a little big...you've lost weight since you took it to the tailor. You're right about the pleats they need to be basted.

    According to your sister (who ought to know), your birthday is sometime soon. Happy Birthday!

    I was walking around town yesterday, shopping, and saw something that reminded me of you. I wondered what you'd think of it. It's funny how we've never met and yet you own space in my head.

    I like the detailing of the jacket, but it still looks like it could be taken in some. It looks a bit big in the sleeves and in the mid section.

    Like the pop of blue next to your face, flattering colour :)
