I was so excited I was unable to focus long enough to calculate the actual price. But they're worth a blog post so, thank you so much!<br />Sorry to hear about the Gaultier Jackets. Ouch.<br /><br />Mater: Sounds like a great outfit. Aren't you glad you don't have to go the matching suit route if you don't want to? I'm way past wanting to feel the least bit self-conscious in my clothes. Absolutely bang-on flattering and relaxing to wear!<br />Mater:L'age moyenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03297717031402619963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129559055667641398.post-90499739498364465772011-08-16T18:45:12.086-04:002011-08-16T18:45:12.086-04:00All summer (we've had a cool-ish one, unlike y...All summer (we've had a cool-ish one, unlike you), if I've dressed at all, I've relied much on a combo of jacket (Smythe, 3/4 sleeve, black), a white T, and jeans -- a low-key version of the pant suit, in a way. I find it remarkably reassuring to wear, and like you, I'd be happy to have a matched version, but like you as well, I want it to smarten me up, not expose my flaws and make me feel I have to live up to its sleekness.materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129559055667641398.post-55377752245801986422011-08-15T08:53:07.205-04:002011-08-15T08:53:07.205-04:00There's one brand worth a look: "Peterman...There's one brand worth a look: "Peterman Company".

I hate those kind of suits.<br />Marlene had theirs from a men's tailor what declares that perfect fit.<br />Unfortunately I'm not a passionate collector and preserver, so, a few years ago I gave my wonderful Gaultier Jackets (double-breasted, slim waist, long enough) to a thrift store.<br />Now I could cry into my pillow.<br />Since I saw your shirtwaist dresses, I remember my mother wearing a blue/white striped one (a lighter version of blue from the Gitane's package). I remember white gloves, dark hair and blue eyes, and a hint of red lipstick.<br />I'm on the track if you become an online dealer...barbarahttp://www.bodografie.denoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129559055667641398.post-34478102200125426252011-08-14T08:39:30.635-04:002011-08-14T08:39:30.635-04:00Absolutely!

I don't know why women hadn't revolted against the short jacket pants suit ages ago - they really do look out of proportion, and the uncovered derriere is always a tricky look. For now I am keeping my trouser suit bought 7 years ago when jackets still covered the posterior, and won't buy another until the longer jacket comes back.ABhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15611901332671769364noreply@blogger.com
