Sometimes I think I'm being too picky because the sleeves are either too tight, the body looks too much like a "box", or the body isn't long enough for my torso. <br /><br />I want to see your final outfit!!katrinahttp://elementnineteen.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711916785635061879.post-32701127773757406532009-10-06T15:41:31.396-04:002009-10-06T15:41:31.396-04:00love the 2nd blue dress with jacket & scarf!!love the 2nd blue dress with jacket & scarf!!UUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16252685601079661010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711916785635061879.post-56419004584390477282009-10-06T10:52:07.283-04:002009-10-06T10:52:07.283-04:00I'm wearing it mainly with jeans but I love th...I'm wearing it mainly with jeans but I love these looks with dresses.

I think I must be maturing when some of the 80's reruns leave me cold. Although I think a long early 90's grungy flowery dress would make that jacket work. The short sleeves and short skirts are just... short.Clarityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05705409395605833495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711916785635061879.post-12281415649833866462009-10-05T17:31:48.383-04:002009-10-05T17:31:48.383-04:00i'm pretty sure there's not anything you c...i'm pretty sure there's not anything you couldn't pull off.Lesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377408234974604209noreply@blogger.com
