The trench sounds fab and I love coral against navy!<br />Did your mom ever say "Change not a clout / 'Til May is out"? Mine did, regularly, whenever we pestered her to be allowed to wear our shorts on sunny days in April or May.materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-30234976304687001402010-03-28T12:53:38.431-07:002010-03-28T12:53:38.431-07:00The dress over skinny jeans look is one of my favo...The dress over skinny jeans look is one of my favourites and that is a particularly nice example - love the colours and pattern. I'm afraid I'm very slow to change over to spring wear - since I have been conditioned since childhood (Scottish weather!) to expect changeable weather and I walk and go on public transport, I usually am still in layers and coats and scarves for a long time. I shopped in the time-honoured fashion this weekend, spending 2 or 3 hours in a Max Mara outlet and got a navy short trench, a lovely coral wool and silk scarf and a navy long-sleeved silky t-shirt, around $120 for the lot. I'm sure they will freshen up my wardrobe a bit!

(altho' I note that you've been doing some de-stashing lately!)<br />LPC: I seldom wear them either, so I'm always a bit unsure. Sales assistants are always assuring me that anyone can wear a belt, but I KNOW they're wrong!<br />Pseu: When the waist is about 1/4 inch long and the belt is 2 inches, the logistics are just not cooperative!<br />HHB: I've done leggings with this dress (and Hue make great ones, don't they!) but I wanted a different look. And yes, Aritzia one of my main suppliers . . .<br />LBR: This tunic is from the year before last -- I think the same year you got that fabulous skirt, the one that came in orange or black, and had a great jacket as an option. Seems to me I went looking for that piece, it wasn't there anymore, so I needed a compensation and this dress was it.<br />Tiffany: A woman after my own heart -- you use the word "eschew"!

I think I agree with you on the belt, I'd put it at the hips.

I am so inspired by your stylings - new ways to put things together. <br /><br />It occurred to me recently that I have a barely worn black suit blazer that I could wear with the cuffs rolled up for that menswear inspired trend without spending a penny. And that's exactly what I did - with a bright aquamarine t-shirt, dark stick jeans and 4-inch wedge platforms. Love that feeling of shopping from the closet!jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05864066847052675219noreply@blogger.com
