Last December, I showed you a new floral blouse with jeans and a smart jacket and told you to imagine another jacket and pants combination. I described it with specificity.
A year later, I am retreading that ground.
I only have so many things to show you and I can’t afford to throw away any ideas that can be turned into posts.
Here is one of my reliable outfits for Casual Friday and travel.
The idea of wearing a jacket with a belt (another Important Thought) saved this blazer from the give-away pile. You may remember I had deemed it “too boxy.”
And a Hot Tip, to go with the Important Thoughts: A floral with a floral can be very charming.
Why is this? Two reasons. First, flowers are intrinsically appealing. Second, wearing a floral with a floral has an off-hand, bordering on insouciant, feel about it. It doesn’t seem like it should be intentional and therefore seems unintentional. Even though it is very contrived, as proven by this protracted analysis.

Have a fantastic weekend!
Yes to the usefulness of the very becoming jacket. I like the florals with the calmness of the jacket.
Floral with floral is good, floral with floral plus those matching burgundy leaves in the background is perfection !
Nice combination.
Floral with floral is all very nice, but I find myself distracted by the distractingly chic-yet-comfy-and-practical black wedge-heeled low pumps with the cute twist on the front. Deets on whence they came?
I love these shoes, too! I don’t know if you can tell in these photos, but the wedge heel is wrapped in patent leather. They are Taryn Rose from almost 10 years ago. I bought two pairs (identical) at that time and the extra pair has been patiently sitting in my storage closet all this time waiting to be activated.
I love this outfit.
