When I saw Angie's cinnamon post, I knew I could do this but needed a warmer day. Yesterday was the first day that it felt like summer. 1-3 is what I wore to church. The skirt is dark blue denim. Top and topper are EF, silk top and linen cardigan. Photo 3 is a necklace of my mother's from the 40's, an early plastic.
4 is the top part worn more casually with cropped jeans for an afternoon trip to a farm run by the Denver Botanical Gardens. 5 is Angie's ensemble from her blog. I changed into the flats shown below.
Looking at the photos, something seems off. I welcome your comments and suggestions.

Pretty! I don't know, I don't see anything off. I have to say that I have a preference for outfit nr. 2 - the different hem lengths make it more interesting in my opinion .

Thank you, Sisi. Angie, I'm sure that I don't look as fab as the lady you saw, but the happiness factor was high. Cinnamon is something I usually wear in fall or late summer, so this was a big change. I think it could also work with some peach and cream for spring.

I really like the combo of the topper and the tank, and especially like the polished nature with the crop jeans.

Thank you, Sara, Lisa, delurked, citygirldc, Jane and JAileen. I plan to repeat these outfits and others with cinnamon, maybe with peach or melon and cream :)
Any time I can wear my mother's necklace adds happiness. I think my Dad made it or bought it for her. -

Nothing is off. I prefer the outfit with the jeans, it looks more modern. Maybe the skirt length which matches the duster length comes off more traditional? Appropriate for church services though.

Oooh I love this Joy. I prefer the jeans outfit. I think the hems of the cardigan and skirts are too similar but that is a minor detail. What a great necklace! And such a lovely memory that goes with it.

Nothing looks off to my eye at all! I love this shade of red for you! It looks great! Your bag is beautiful! Wow!

Thank you all for your encouraging comments. The bag was a gift from a friend, so another high happiness piece. I wonder if a lighter denim skirt would be better than the one I am wearing.

Looks great, Joy. But I have to say, the second outfit hit it out of the park for me. So current!

Joy replied 6 years ago
Thank you Dianna and Aquamarine. The necklace is a good balance between casual and a bit dressy. The second outfit was my favorite too.
