I got pulled in many different directions this week and did not get back here even though I had grand plans and good intentions.
In my last post, there was a page I neglected. Although the main image, the model with the simple turtleneck, red skirt, and matching boots, is an outfit I would absolutely wear, it is actually the smaller background images that captured my fancy.
I like both outfits in the back, the low round neck of the Carven jacket with the white shirt is lovely. But I love the dress, the navy Chanel tweed dress with the coordinating solid fabric at the cuffs and neckline and along the button closure at one raglan seam. I don't know if this is just decorative and there is a zipper hidden elsewhere or if it functions, or if in fact this is a functional opening and there is a zipper. I might fancy both a zipper and working buttons. This dress appeals to me because it seems modern and sporty, whereas I tend to think of tweed dresses as being rather formal and old-fashioned. It seems I have a generous collection of tweeds, boucles and textured fabrics so new ideas are always appreciated.

Thanks for pointing out that page. I have been thinking of a tweed dress but wasn’t sure about the sleeves. I do like the length sleeves on this dress. Can’t do the raglan line, though – my narrow shoulders don’t do well with that line. So I will have to adapt the idea somehow…

Im actually not sure if the raglan line is that good for me either. I used to have problems with it, and I think even my improved fitting knowledge will not make it so. I might be adapting the idea as well.
