Can't believe it fit like that with no swayback alteration! <br />You've harvested stash from the deep freeze, but created a momentary orphan--can't have everything! In the meantime, without knowing the dress code of your office, what about a knit cardigan in a complementary colour, like--yes--orange? Orange and navy look great on jeans, and it would set off your hair. A cardigan isn't such a big commitment as a jacket, an a RTW knit cardigan is also good.
