emboldened



Emboldened by one of my favorite fashion persons, Sheila, I donned my fairly recently-thrifted black slacks (Talbots).  I'd bought them off the rack at a ridiculously low price.  Didn't try them on.  They are a bit short.  I contemplated doing SOMETHING to lengthen them, but after seeing Shela's, I just rolled up the bottoms and decided to wear them with confidence!

Mine aren't as swishy as hers; neither is my cotton  lacy blouse quite as fancy, but I tied them together with a black patent-leather belt and look forward to a busy day - starting at 9:00 when I meet a friend for coffee.

I got ANOTHER idea when I saw a flower pin she was wearing in one of her posts.
I'm going to dig in a craft drawer I have,
heat up my glue gun,
and show my creation here later...

    I think you look very chic. I roll up my pant legs a lot.

      :) I'll bet you DO roll yours up - especially when working around your yard, right?

    I haven't rolled my pant legs up since childhood...I usually cover my tree stumps to make them look longer. I love your dash!

      Actually, Bookie, I'm not sure that it doesn't help mine look longer! Hmmmmmmm. I wonder.

    You always look great lovely lady. I love your style, keep it up, as it's wonderful to feel good..but it's also a responsibility to keep our weight at a healthy level, like you do my friend. Have a terrific weekend.

    This is such a great look, Rebecca! Well done - it's a very Audrey Hepburn type of vibe, with the shorter trousers.

    Thank you so much for the shout-out. :) Have a great weekend!

    I love this look, reminds me of the chic European ladies of Barcelona and Milan, they always roll their trouser legs! x

    You really worked with what you had and came up with a perfect outfit. I can see this being worn on so many occasions.

    You look very nice. I think just about any length is in style right now.
