I enjoyed the description of your outfit.  It sounded great in every way.

It is fun to dress nicely and feel put together.

I had to laugh  too because sometimes I really get fixed up for a rather

casual lunch.  My husband who loves to garden takes a look and laughs

with a funny line," I better put my better shorts on---everyone will think I'm

your gardner".

Here comes the slob to ruin the thread!  Cover your eyes!  I don't have any outfits that I'd say really make me feel put together because I don't wear tailored things.  I do have some items that suit me and that I enjoy wearing, though.

I love the look of pencil skirts and heels, but I can't walk in the heels and the skirts feel confining.  I also don't feel I'm someone who looks good in them because I don't feel like myself.  I always wear pants (mostly dungarees) and tunics or a sweater coat.  Unless it's hot, I wear ankle boots.  I picked up a couple of Jamie Gries' sweater coats at 2/3 off (same item, different colors) and am just insane over them lately.  It's still so cool here that I have four sweater coats hanging by the front door.  I hope to be able to put them away until next fall soon.

I am an underachiever in the fashion department.  I could never pull off the beautiful outfits posted above, especially Stylish Lady's leather suit.  Woe is me!

Hilarious!  Presumably he's not dressed up enough to be mistaken for the butler.

I try to look put together and feel good in most of my outifts.  At work I tend to wear straight leg dress pants with nice tops and/or cardigans.  I love a jean with boots and a turtleneck for casual wear in the fall and winter.  My favorite outfits though are my knee length dresses and skirts.  I am a bit self conscious about my heavy legs and wider hips, and my dresses and skirts flatter my shape more than pants.
