  You look lovely, Meredith!
  It does pay to be picky and persistent. And whatever that third P is- I always forget!
  Purple is a great color for you.

  That's a great jacket, I'm so glad it's soft and you're loving it. Those sandals and crops are very good together!

  White denim perfection.

• Transcona Shannon replied 11 years ago

  Simple and lovely. That jacket is fantastic on you Meredith!

• MsMary replied 11 years ago

  I think the third P is "patient."

  Meredith, you look great ! I love how a white jacket brings dark pieces to life in the summer!

• Jilly replied 11 years ago

  You look classic and cool, Meredith. Your white AE jacket is great!

  I am loving the white denim, glad you were able to find one!! It looks awesome with purple!!

• Parsley replied 11 years ago

  Aha, MaryK! No wonder I forgot that one- it's a virtue that I'm completely lacking! But Meredith, it sounds like you were quite patient in the search or your nice soft jacket, and it paid off!

  @Claire,
  Yes, my new white jacket is like cuddling in a blanket (a very soft blanket) The crops are coming in handy and the sandals, well I wish I could find a nude pair similar to these.

  @Kiwichik,
  Thanks you very much! I am really glad you like the jacket!

  @Shannon,
  Simple and lovely is good to hear! Thank you so much!

  @MaryK,
  I really like the way the white makes colors seem even brighter! Thanks for the nice words!

  @Jilly,
  Thanks so much! Classic is definitely part of my style objective.

  @Ginny,
  I am really glad to finally have my white denim jacket too! Purple does look nice with it!

  @Parsley,
  I am all about comfort! I can't stand stiff uncomfortable clothing. Thank you so much for the nice words. I never wore purple much until I let my hair go silvery. I did indeed have to be "patient" to find the jacket.

  I really like it. Simple, practical and fun. I also like the gradual color transition from bright top to dark bottom. Because you wear capris, this feels very summery.

  Isn't it great when you find the *right* piece? This jacket is perfection and I hope you'll enjoy it for many years to come.

  Btw, you come up with such wonderful color combinations and I'm always attracted to them. Purple and white - I *must* try that soon!

• Meredith1953 replied 11 years ago

  Thank you very much Ornella! This is actually the first pair of capris I'ver every bought and I'm glad you like the way the color moves through the outfit!

  Simple, summery, and chic! Sometimes simplicity is such a winning formula, especially in the summer! You look fab.

• Aida replied 11 years ago

  Agree with Jonesy! This is a great breezy and comfortable looking outfit, and the colors are lovely on you.

• Deborah replied 11 years ago

  Agreeing with Jonesy that simple is often the winning formula. This looks well put together, stylish, cool and casual.

  Another great outfit in black, white and colour (after Amy's today) --- I really must learn to do this at home!

  Meredith, something about these proportions makes you look so tall and willowy --- long of leg (crops and a diagonal sandal strap?) *and* long of waist (the cropped jacket?). What a winner!
