I tried knotting the top but prefer the way it looks loose. I  searched on ebay for a three-piece skirt suit. I found several. Most were dull classics, boring fabric, dull designs.  Advantages of Long Sleeves Then I saw the green outfit. I wanted long sleeves, not short sleeves. Long sleeves protect you from cold weather and cold air conditioning, and insects, or sun's rays. They hide any imperfections of arms, freckles, age spots, wrinkles, veins, elbows. Longer sleeves are useful when visitong temples requiring you to cover up. I bid from very little. Bidding Wars & Strategy I was outbid. I was bidding against one other bidder.

 The Jacket The label is Indigo Moon.  My current favorite. Ebay has many jackets, tops and tee shirts with matching skirt suits, and a few coats, bags and dresses. I have several jackets.  This one is medium size. My husband said. 'The sleeves are too long.' I was going to fold them underneath, inside.   Then I realised I could fold them back on the outside of the sleeve. The sleeves are edged in braid.

A bit like sacrificing a child in primitive people, in this case, sacrificing a bit of oneself.  She went to hospital and had apparently recovered and came to dinner with us. I noticed she had a pretty lace covering over her forearm.  Fingerless Long Lace Gloves It wasn't until I looked at it a second time, and was about to ask her where she bought it, that I realised it was on one arm only. It has looked like a fashionable, attention-getter, like a one-shoulder dress. But it was just to cover the bandage on her wrist. Better than a bare bandage. Less inviting comment. Less of a reminder to her. Totally ...
