Pretty Happy Now

I am thinking I like the jacket now. What do you think? I came home, changed my blouse, put on a new knit shirt, added a necklace and the lace jacket. A white long shirt would be the best, but I am liking the cream shirt with my new brown shoes.

A couple of poses, as Lindsay T said one day, what do you do with your hands?







Pictures are a bit blurry, I used the self-timer and the camera focused on the leaves.
Lest you have forgotten - this was the before:



It has come a long way and all for the better, I think and hope. The true test will be in an hour, my 14 yo fashionistas will be home and I will show them the pictures!
Off to pick them up from school and buy some flowers, it is going to be gorgeous here all week, time to get my hands dirty.

    It passes my test. I like it but then maybe I don't count because I'm over 30yo. ;)

    I think it has done a complete change over and I like it. Can we get a close up of the new and improved jacket too?

    Yep, much improved! It is good to have this feedback isn't it? In the past we may have just thrown it in a corner...(or the bin)

    This is so nice, Lori! And your tunics and your purses, too! I also wanted to say that I just listened to your latest podcast, and I'm so sorry that one of your daughters has been having some health problems. I'll pray for her, and for the rest of you during this busy season of life. Thank you for taking the time to blog and podcast. It's good to hear and read from you.

    It looks so much better on you than on your dress form. I finally got to listened to the two latest SFN podcasts today and heard the woes of the jacket. Glad you were able to save it.
