Macys Has A Good Sale 03/04/23

I found some nice slacks and this houndstooth jacket; I was looking for jacket close to this!  I prefer shorter jackets unless it's a black blazer.

I love Macys but being that I just retired not much use for work clothes.  I do plan on hitting up the estee lauder GWP, the double wear foundation is my holy grail foundation.

The jacket is very pretty and appealing in style and design, enjoy!  I love Macy's also and used to go to the one at Manhattan frequently.  It had everything and I'm sure it still does.

I like a short jacket when it is worn like this or over a dress.

For some reason, I feel somewhat overwhelmed when I wear a traditional long blazer.  It may be that at 5' 6" they are slightly out of proportion for me.  If I get a traditional blazer, I look for a shorter one.

I am just 5'5", so I do have to pay attention to proportion when buying a blazer. I tend to wear my clothes close to my body and need a strong shoulder and n i p p e d in waist. I do not do well with extra material around my waist and hips. Which is why a lot of the flowy, open neck, ruffles, and  cascade necklines are not something I feel comfortable about wearing.

Are you an hour glass like me?  I have "bony" shoulders and even pregnant my upper chest bones are very obvious. 

I have been enjoying a "little" dessert after years of having nothing!  I need to back that up.

Not sure if I am a classic hourglass anymore since losing about 20 lbs.  Big bosom, small waist and small, but rounded backside. I have fairly strong upper body, including my shoulders. I just prefer a strong shoulder in a jacket to offset my bosom.
