Daily Vanity

I haven't nattered about fashion lately, have I?  I've been making an effort to look more put-together when I go off to teach.  A while back we were at the outlets and I picked up a couple of shirts at Van Heusen - one short sleeved chocolate brown one with turned up "cuffs" and one "suit shirt" that I am just in love with.  It's white, lightweight cotton with an itty bitty bit of stretch and has variegated-width monochrome stripes woven in.  The front has bias-cut plackets so the stripes form a V pattern and loops instead of buttonholes.  It's nicely fitted... the sleeves are a bit too long but the cuffs fasten with one button so I'm able to turn them up into a pseudo-french cuff. Today I've got on that shirt with a reverse-pleated, knee-length red corduroy skirt and my favorite black sling-backs.  Yay.
