Silver tweed suit
15 February 2010, 21:23Last week I finished the first half of my second Planned Partnership, so I think that makes me exactly one half finished (right, Sharon, resident maths professor?). Though I suppose if you’re counting individual garments, I’d be slightly over halfway finished…
But I digress. You remember the silver tweed fabric and my plans to make a cropped jacket that I could wear with either a matching skirt or with a nude sheath dress (yet to come)?
Well, I’m so delighted with the way both the jacket and skirt turned out that I couldn’t wait to show you! So in the tradition of that other tweed suit, you get a sneak preview!
We got a bit carried away with the photoshoot…
I do like a classy setting for a classy suit, after all…
And you’ll get the full details of both the jacket and the skirt later this week!
Classy outfit, classy lady, classy setting!

Very fun and indeed classy — maybe I need to make me one for those math(s) classes…

Elegant! Gray is such a sophisticated neutral, and one of my favorites. This really looks great on you.

There’s not a single thing in this outfit that isn’t fabulous!

Great suit. I don’t wear suits,they are a bit to classy for me, but this jacket gives it a loose kind of chic, with its big buttons and 3/4 (3/5)sleeves. Very nice!

Love it. The gloves are just the finish a fab suit like that needs. The cats pyjamas.

Love the outfit and your planned partnership combinations. An idea I might follow.
And you’re looking so well, glad to see that.

This is one of my favorite color combos – grey and Aubergine (I always feel I must capitalize it!) – and the suit turned out beautifully. Way to go!
