Would you believe it was 25 degrees in Aberdeen when FL and I got out of the hospital at 1pm? Of course, by 2pm it was about 15 as usual... but we had our moment in the sun!
Today I wore:
Va va voom top, from 1950's pattern, blogged here.
Eva Dress 1940's trousers, blogged here.
Two-tone shoes, as before.
Besame lipstick :)
This top is for confident days. I wear it when I am planning to save the world.
Hospital visits have this effect on me!
There is no possibility of appearing shy and retiring when you are wearing figure-hugging polka dots and a peekaboo neckline.
Its only functional issue is that the back-buttons are domed and it is therefore: deeply uncomfortable to lean back in my chair, driving is a pain and I have to sit up straight at my desk - not such a bad thing!

Absolutely gorgeous outfit. I'm now on the hunt for your top pattern! x
I think I would make myself more clothes if I looked as fabulous as you do in them!
the top is lovely. Jane good luck with the pattern search.
I am still looking forward to the day when i will have a trouser that fits me like yours does you.
I was in Aberdeen last year, and it was really sunny. Sometime in February.
The top in particular is lovely - I love the shape and fabric you've used.
Hey Jane - you can borrow the pattern if you like! I have emailed you.
You look lovely! I love the top and those trousers always make me envious :)
That outfit is soooo good. I can see why it a confidence boosting outfit. Thank you for your comment. By the way have you looked at the Sew Lisette flickr group - not that I want to give you more internet-based distractions but there are some portfolio trousers in there. Mine are coming on okay, I am not 100% sure yet about the shape though!
You look like a 1930s movie star, Roobeedoo! Probably helped by all that sitting up straight.
You look lovely!
I hope one day I am able to sew clothes the way you do, you're so talented :-)
Stunning outfit and you look fabulous:)
I looooooooove that top!! Polka dots!
I still love that top. :D
