LOL @AmericanBulldogMom...speaking of socks...

You might remember that I had a major sock hoarding problem...it was sick how many I donated...which resulted in a new rule, no more socks--it'll be years before I need socks!   So, I'm at the Rack the other day and some weird gravitational pull occurred and I found myself in front of the sock display with 2 pairs of sale socks in my hand!   I came out of the trance, and actually said to myself, "Min would get a good chuckle out of this."     (@Magny) Didn't buy them, but here's a small sampling of some of my socks (oh, brother--this is taking things too far!)...Handsome is doing his Vanna White bit...he calls me Pippi Longstockings hahaha.   I wore the socks in the top pic with the pink LDO.  The 2nd pic are (L to R) Kate Spade, 2 Smartwools, 2 Betsy Johnson, and 2 Kate Spades--I have duplicates of all these!!

Yeah, what is it about boatnecks!?  I hate bateau necks, too.   I think it's because it highlights my wimpy shoulders.  I, too, could wear off-the-shoulder, so go figure.   That touch of grey gives it a dingy look.   It's always something I tell ya!

@MacDUFF LOL - yes bateau another NO.  No it's not your wimpy shoulders.  Mine are very straight and I look like "qwap" in them.  I think it makes the neck look bad?  Hey, things are bad enough as it is and don't need to add to the situation!

Not to mention the whole bra strap showing thang...the constant fiddling!  I hate that!

Thanks @SouthFlorida321.  I used to be a big pink girl...any shade.  But...and at the risk of getting slammed for this comment...not only do the lighter, paler pinks wash me out now, I think I look like a sweet little ole grey haired lady wearing her sweet little pink outfit!   It's a fine line if you ask me.   I liked this color so much, that I caved and purchased LDO's embroidered baseball jacket in the same color...the embroidery could take it over the edge, though...we'll see.

@MacDUFF no, I disagree, it's not the pink color, it's the garment type.  As long as it's sophisi-cajj, it's good.  That shade pink your wearing is very attractive and youthful on you.  Like it a lot!

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah!!   Blah blah!

@MacDUFF Oh it's been so long since I wore that bateau, boatneck look I forgot all about the constant yanking on the straps!  Remember some blouses had these little fabric strips with "snaps" where you could attach bra strap?  Yikes.

@SouthFlorida321

Thanks...only reason I took a chance was because it was LDO.   I think it does qualify for our curated Sophisti-cajj line of clothing!!

Here are the 2 things in my closet that are violet.  LDO's original swing sweater and my homemade plaid wrap...

@ECBG, this is the LDO jacket in parfait pink I was telling you about.   The video shows the hood/collar, but does not show the hood as it rests on the back.  Because of the zipper/trim, the hood creates a giant hump!   Someone should have noticed this, but nevertheless, I love it.  It's as light a pink as I'll go...love having a light, bright color for fall/winter.  Trim is navy (that might as well be black) and I'm wearing it with Marla Wynne's slim leg indigo jeans.  If I wear a heavyweight base layer, I can wear it in even 40 degrees weather, so it's versatile.  The only way I could keep it was to adjust the weird hood/collar the way you see...I unzipped the hood and pulled the wings forward and made a built-in scarf out of it...

@MacDUFF,LOVE IT!!!  The pink is yummy.

I had actually intended to order the cream one!  Now it's wait listed.  Spit!  What on earth with $5.00 postage???  It isn't even remotely heavy!  Love Lewis, though, so I'm on wait list.  Grrrrrr.....

I am not a fan of the Linea Leisure line but at the clearance price I could not resist.  I purchased the pink and also the green.  I do not care for hoods so I was just going to leave it unzipped like a collar.  When you are talking about the hump is that with it zipped or unzipped?   Having navy trim the both will go well with dark jeans.
