Totally agree about the oddness of the sweater under a cocktail dress, and it's also interesting that 'blue' is the colour of marriage here. The interior design of the fabulous apartment is also amazing - I have to laugh when one of the random girlfriends claims the room is messy!

She's almost childlike compared to the others. And thanks for pointing out that when Carolyn Jones finally uses her sleeves as the Lord intended, she means business. I love that kind of detail.
