Long Jacket Love and A New Contest!!

AHHH, Mr. B sent beautiful yellow roses for Valentine’s!

Gigi and I both showed up on Valentine’s Day in our fun long jackets!! I have worn this Chico’s jacket several times on the blog…there is a bit of padding in the shoulder so it is a little more exaggerated than I like. But, my favorite way to wear it is with leggings….cannot wear those to work. I would love to have a couple of jackets like this that I can wear with leggings…but it will have to wait for a while.

Gigi’s hot pink “hot” jacket is from Stein Mart!!

You may notice that Gigi has on sandals and I have on flats with bare feet…we went from freezing cold rain in 24 hours to 80 degree sunshine!! Such is the case around here…I think we are expecting cold rain again this weekend…it is challenging for the wardrobe.

  2. Hey, I love your new header! (Is it new? Or have I just been oblivious lately?) Great jackets, too. I don't wear button-downs so I'll sit this one out, but thanks for offering so many great contests!

  3. Anxious to try Foxcroft… would particularly like to try the blouses. I do follow your blog and "liked" Foxcroft on Facebook!

  4. I love Foxcroft! I have several of their blouses. I liked them on FB and of course, I
    follow you. I sure hope I win this contest!!! I think I would go with the aqua or blue wave. We have a store here in Wichita, Ann's Fashions, that sells a lot of Foxcroft blouses. Love that store.

    Love your outfit and especially the necklace. It is so something I would wear. I wish we still had a Stein Mart here. I used to not like longer length jackets, but now I realize they make me look thinner. A BIG bonus.

  5. I love that jacket on you! Sometimes longer jackets work, and other times shorter is better. I think it depends on the outfit as a whole and the person's body type. You look fabulous!

  6. Hi Pam! I've been reading your blog every since I found a link to it on Une Femme's. (And I'm just up the road in Austin!) Probably love that blouse the best; a good basic one for work is hard to find. I've liked Foxcroft on FB . . . but I don't like them as much as your fab necklace!

  7. Hi Pam! I am a follower too and i like the blouse in yellow size small!
    I did the like on Facebook as well
    I prefer short jacket but will wear long as well

    Thanks Pam

    Love you!

  8. I "liked" the Foxcroft FB and took a look at the collection. I like the classic blouse in the blue or deep purple (or is it called violet!!) Love the long jackets!!

  9. Foxcroft got my "like" though I actually love their collection. The geoprint blouse with the pop of purple on the inside collar stand is so fun.

  10. It's hard enough to be "over 50 feeling 40" without standing by the ironing board all the time. I like foxcroft blouses because they're wrinkle free so I can leave the laundryroom behind!

    My favorite is the aqua-blue. It's all ready for spring.
