Jess - I bet the Indie cross back dress would look great on you. That's the one I got and you definitely need a smaller chest for it. Of course, it's strappy, so more summery which may not be what you are looking for....

I have the rosa hoodie which I think is the same cut at that Indie dress and I couldn't fill it out corretly (the top). Combined with the comments about the pockets on the dress, I decided to skip trying the dress even though it looks good on the model.

Thrift shop score! I got a really fine, lightweight merino cardigan for $1.99. It should be a perfect layer for spring cycling when the temp drops after sunset.

Of course, this sweater cries out for pearls, so I might look ridiculous. I hope pairing it with my screaming yellow windbreaker will change the look somewhat.

I picked up at short-sleeved Smartwool jersey (Ewetopia, maybe, in chili pepper red?) for myself for Christmas and finally had the chance to wear it today - fantastic! Slightly looser than I usually go for but it was the perfect layer underneath a windbreaker. I didn't stink nearly as much as the rest of my group at the end of the ride.

And it looked awesome with the dark red trim on my bike.

Tried posting to this thread the other day but my reply was swallowed by the cosmos (or operator error).

To summarize, thanks for drawing my attention to wool for biking. You're right, wool is odor resistant. What's up with synthetics holding on to smells? Any way to get rid of lingering odors in synthetics?

Thought I'd try the thrift store route looking for merino for bilking but I found out sweater season is over here. Bummer. Did get 2 merino long sleeve base layer tops at Overstock.

At last! I got a Mollie Jacket (thanks Catrin) and it's that felted or boiled wool and I am finally warm enough !
I have another jacket, it's the wonderful green but it's too lightweight for me that I am thinking of selling.... (it's Medium)

There's still a black one if you want it as well

BleeckerSt_Girl, you might have better luck on ebay.
