And yes, I wore a sweater over it in the office.  Midnight blue jumper - Express cropped denim jacket - Levi's  sandals - DSW Anne Klein purse - thrifted I wore MY (new) PEACE of  jewelry - Necklace I was inspired by a necklace I saw in In Touch magazine A jewelry collection "designed" by Zoe Kravitz for Swarovski.

In browsing the lovely Fort Smith Stylista blog created by Jan in Arkasas, in the spirit of her being nominated for the Liebster Award (congratulations), she posted 11 questions encouraging other bloggers to answer. Well, here it goes 1. What's your favorite menswear piece in your wardrobe.  That's easy, my men's brogue shoes, which I bought at a thrift store. 2. How often do you edit your closet? (Isn't edit just a fancy way of saying clean out ?)  Not often enough, but when I do, then I store in my car for several months before I finally get around to taking the stuff to the Goodwill 3. What was your last clothing purchase for someone else. Ooooh! I can't remember!  4. What did you last buy for your own wardrobe?
