The jacket looks great on you and it 's suit you. <br />Marion Cotillard 's dress was stunning but nothing else appealed to me. Some of them needed a trip to Dani's tailor.<br />When do you go to N.Y.?

I would like a camisole shell under the jacket, because I think they are more youthful, and I think light colored boots would look fabulous too. You are so fortunate to have such thin legs, leggings and boots would be a great look, too. I love Marion Cotillards ensemble. I think it is one of her finest looks. Julianne Moore needs a more fitted dress. She is so pretty, but never seems to wear clothing that fits her correctly.Pat Olskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08122299121164106652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-12559657643790796582013-01-28T18:22:02.709-04:002013-01-28T18:22:02.709-04:00Oh Lane, I cried and cried all through that scene!...Oh Lane, I cried and cried all through that scene!

The first season has some questionable looks such as white tights, however they are still in high school at that point so no one will mistake anyone for a nurse impersonator (because nurses don't wear white tights any more, do they?). The characters are mostly well-off New Yorkers from the Upper East Side who apparently have a limitless budget for clothing and shoes. Plus it's a good soap opera/drama that doesn't take itself too seriously. See? I'm hooked! <br /><br />Speaking of fun with fashion (but not rogue!), I change my mind and say keep that peacock jacket, it is very You and you will find more ways to wear it.
