Too often I find myself doing the same with skirts and matching jackets: otherwise it just feels more conservative than I tend to be style-wise. ;) Still, they're both beautiful pieces and fit you perfectly--I'm sure they'll get loads of use!Caseyhttp://elegantmusings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-58123009937606104342012-02-09T20:22:49.674-05:002012-02-09T20:22:49.674-05:00Lovely and the brooch is genius.
