Blue Suede Shoes

Warm, sunny days made a fast exit several days ago and now we have clouds, more clouds and rain.  Temps are cool with periods of downright chilly. I made vegetable soup yesterday.  Ah, it's layering weather and dressing is easy. 

The jeans are a basic wardrobe replacement and if I try on enough pairs, I'm always able to find a pair that fits at Talbots.  The leather trimming this Banana Republic sweater provides an updated twist to a classic Chanel cut sweater. If you're a longer-armed girl, this one's for you.  And if you're not, the untrimmed sleeves make it easy to turn up.  It's a lovely, warm non-wool layer.

Throw in a little animal print and a color punch with cobalt and there you go. It works.
