I think this outfit looked better in person that it does in the pictures. The blouse has beautiful colors in it--gold, brown, and several blues. The jacket has a subtle texture, kind of chenille, and looks richer in color than it does here. I wore this outfit to do some shopping and running errands. We also went to Carlos O'Kelly's for a late lunch/early dinner. I remember a time when people would dress up to go out to dinner. Do people in your area dress nicely to go out to eat, even in casual restaurants?
I stopped in a local boutique, Ann's Fashions, and tried on some FDJ French Dressing Jeans. I tried on some of the side zip overdyed leggings and really like them and they fit me quite nicely. I have seen FDJ advertised as great jeans for older ladies, but I had never tried them on. Ann's is having a FDJ fit clinic next Saturday and are supposed to have all the different styles in stock. I hope to go by and find out more about the fit clinic. They are also giving away one pair of FDJ jeans every hour. I haven't won anything for a long time so maybe I can get lucky and win a pair.

I have never heard of these jeans...but you have wet my appetite to know more! I will begin to look for them in my area...I really like your jacket and necklace...very visible!
ReplyDeleteI like how the blues and browns of the shirt, slacks and boots tie together. I have tried FDJ, but like most jeans, if they fit me in the hips there is about 6-8 inches of gap in the back waist(sigh). I wonder if a fit clinic would help me.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really pretty blouse. It's nice to have a switch from the leopard booties with the blue suede shoes!
ReplyDeleteI adore those blue suede shoes! We don't get dressed much in Florida for *any* occasion, but I love it when people do : > Thanks for participating in Visible Monday!

Cords are my ABSOLUTE favorite!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove these, you look great :)
Lovely necklace! I love the blue suede shoes and how they set off the blue in the shirt. Good for you dressing up for dinner - it seems like a dying practice - even big cities like London can be so dressed down and what could be nicer than getting dressed for dinner?
ReplyDeleteI love those blue suede shoes. You do a great job putting outfits together. Usually my eye goes to one or two details, but the overall look is always perfectly coordinated.
