The Power of Suggestion...lovely daughter my favourite fashion advisor.

Our daughter has a great sense of fashion and when she lived here at home in our Humble Bungalow I would ask for her opinions on what to wear and what NOT to wear.
I miss having her around and not just for that reason...
daughters are lovely!

We were out and about browsing the shops and she looked so well put together... a mix of vintage and new.
Frye boots, skinny jeans and her super soft black leather "moto style" jacket.
I mentioned how great she looked when she commented that she was surprised that I didn't own a leather jacket...

I thought about it for a second and then I said something about my lifestyle change from working woman to retiree and living on a pension...


Dream Catcher made by lovely daughter in my favourite colour ~ green.

I did some thinking...
  I dreamt that I might find myself in Paris next Spring 
 I'd be wearing a buttery soft leather jacket...


Simple luxuries need not cost the earth...
Mother and I looked at W and J Wilsons and their leather jackets were in excess of $800.
The sumptuous one I spied at Eileen Fisher was over $1200.00
Much more than what I was comfortable spending...


Creamy and buttery soft...


I found this lovely Banana Republic jacket in the WIN Thrift Shop.


 My cozy cashmere pashmina will keep my neck warm when I wear this jacket.


They look good together.


love the zipper details...


Darling J...

 and you have made me so very proud and happy to have you in my life 
for so many many reasons
I'm very grateful...
thank you.

Hugs
