All the holiday eating has taken a toll on my waistline so it's a good job that the waistcoat can just as happily be worn unbuttoned!
They've used the same fabric throughout.
I'm wearing it here with a cord skirt but it looks really good with jeans and a white shirt, an outfit I shall probably be living in on a daily basis as soon as the weather becomes warmer.
I have several waistcoats, it's an item of clothing that I've always liked. I used to wear my father's fine wool tartan waistcoats to college when I was an art student. They are warming but unrestricting. Himself has a variety of waistcoats, bought at my suggestion. I think he looks great in them but I've always to remind him to wear them otherwise I don't think he would bother!
Linking up with Patti for her Visible Monday.
That is really pretty and you look great in it, Rosemary.
ReplyDeleteI'm delighted with it - what a lovely surprise present!
DeleteI love the colour and the fabric, and it suits you very well. If you think it is too tight right now (until your waistline adjusts itself after the holiday period is over), you can simply adjust the strap in the back, can't you?
ReplyDeleteYou are right, it has a forgiving rear strap. What I like about waistcoats, however, is their ability to create a neat body shape.
DeleteStill polishing off the last of the festive chocolate and biscuits so there's a way to go on the body shape!
Great color and shape, Rosemary! xo

My only concern will be to not spill anything down my front!
DeleteI have only just discovered how flattering baby pink is as a colour. It looks lovely on you!
ReplyDeleteI imagine that living where you do you don't need to discover how cozy a waistcoat is!
