  I got more compliments on this outfit today than anything I’ve worn to church in years: (Mr. Bennet always had this thing about marrying a girl with really long legs. Sorry about that. But I didn’t get an independently wealthy gourmet who disdains professional sports, so I think we’re even.) pinstripe jacket: DI, $4 gray [...]
