I was delighted to find a dark brown lace skirt on eBay for under ten dollars! Wowzers. The J. Jill denim jacket hasn't been worn yet this year, and this was the perfect occasion. My boots aren't as cool as Heidi's, as they don't have straps and things, but they do lace up the back (which you can't see in this picture.

The jacket has some interesting pleating on the front and the sleeves, which you can see in the closeup. The glass Evil Eye necklace came all the way from Greece via a friend, and the bracelet is Fossil, via eBay. The earrings are Kenneth Cole, I think, and of course I'm wearing my Rotary pin.

 
Most people don't understand my fascination with Ian McShane. It's the voice, of course, and those eyes, but it doesn't hurt that he used to look like this:

You're welcome.
