Red Jacket and Stripes





 I came very close to not posting this simply because of a strange offhanded comment on my ensemble today.  At work, a friend commented that I looked like I was selling real estate.  He meant it as a compliment he said, but somehow the compliment sounded a bit back handed.  I took it to mean I either looked conservative or old.  I'm a bit sensitive about my age these days:-/ So I'll take conservative.

This skirt seems to be difficult to pair with anything other than a Chambray top and even more difficult to bring into Fall.  Because it tends to ride up with each step, I prefer to keep the waist either belted or covered by a jacket, cardigan, or sweater.  Equally difficult to pair with anything is this jacket but I thought the ensemble came together quite well despite the visions it produced of me carrying For Sale signs to prop up in front of homes.
  
I've worn this jacket before here. I also paired it with a skirt then.  The intent when I purchased the jacket over a year ago was to pair it with a pair of bell bottom jeans.  I've yet to do that but when I do I assure you I will post the pic.
