White Jacket

Even on a cold winter day, a white jacket can brighten things up. I wear white all year round on dry days.



We were on our way out to lunch when Mr. Mickey snapped these photos. The sun was shining on Sunday, but our temperatures had started to drop.




The gray long sleeve tee and jeggings are old from Chico's. The vintage St. John winter white jacket was a gift from my dear friend Mitzi. St. John is known for knits, but this cotton and elastane jacket is from their Country Collection they did a few years ago.



The sunglasses, Zac Posen bag, and Calvin Klein booties are from Saks Off 5th.




The fun rhinestone mixed media bracelet is from S.M. Bradford Co. on Hilton Head Island.


Jackets are my favorite wardrobe item. They can be new, vintage, or even menswear, but they complete basic pieces beautifully. The fit is essential. If the jacket is too snug in the back of the shoulder seams drop down too far, you will need to pass on that one. The tailoring charges will likely be more than the cost of the jacket.

Double-breasted jackets are in vogue again, but if you are busty like me, you will never close them. Worn open, they look great, worn buttoned, I look like a barrel.

White Jacket

Until just last year, I never owned a white jacket. Now I have several, and I enjoy wearing them very much with jeans.


Mr. Mickey had an appointment in Burnsville, NC, yesterday, so I went along for the ride to give him some company.



I wore black jeans from Chico's and a white tank from Kohl's with a white jacket from Express last year. The necklace is old from Chico's. The bag is by Michael Kors from T.J.Maxx. The shoes were by Vince Camuto from Nordstrom last year.

Sunday Drive

The weather was beautiful on Sunday so we drove out to the country to view the changing leaves against a clear blue sky.




I wore a vintage St John Country white jacket which was a gift from my dear friend Mitzi. The long sleeve gray tee is from Kohl's. The straight leg jeans are from Chico's. The reptile and suede short boots are by Vince Camuto from Nordstrom.







The earrings are old from Stein Mart. The ring is one of my favorite gifts from Mr. Mickey. The pony hair belt is from T.J.Maxx.


White, orange, and green pumpkins in a huge field along the way.
