Okay, so I was just going through my closet and found this jacket that I've had for awhile.  I've only worn it one way: with jeans and a white v-neck shirt.  I have no idea how else to wear it without looking too "ladies who lunch" ya know?  Here's a pic.  What can I do with it?  (Please excuse the fact that I'm wearing pajama bottoms with it.

how about trying a different color shirt underneath it like yellow, purple, teal.  It would change things up from the white you usually wear.

What about wearing something lacy or victorian under it? Or a colorful cami? I always try to wear something a little "sexier" if i'm afraid i'll look like a lady who lunches.

I keep picturing it with a chocolate brown v-neck sweater. Something fairly low-cut would definitely make it look less ladylike.

I like all of the ideas that have been posted so far.  Something sexier or edgier will keep you from feeling like a lady who lunches.  Maybe something like this?  The top is still pretty feminine but the neckline and the cut are a bit sexy and the patch pockets and wash on the jeans make the whole outfit more casual.  I also like the idea of a low slung belt.  You could wear either heels or sneakers, depending on how dressed up you want to be.

Love the idea of wearing a really feminine (maybe lacy) cami under it!  That's a cute jacket.  Don't you love when you rediscover new ways to wear an older item?
