Is it finished?......not sure

Thought it would be but although you could say it is finished it's still not quite right and I am not sure what's wrong yet.....
Added a row or two for a jacket length..
but decided to make it coat length..well on me anyway only 5' tall so i suppose anyone else it would be 3/4 length lol
added the neck band but something isn't quite right yet, even though i have worn it out on a couple of occasions......
there are a couple of button holes in the band too but no buttons as yet and it really does need to have the fronts blocked in this picture that hasn't been done yet
 
Very cosy and warm and although quite colourful it's not too over the top, wearable anyway
 
Looks like our holiday might be bought forward, cat sitter arranged and wardrobe planned lol
It's all happened over the weekend so crossing everything...a 7day cruise, something we wanted to go on last year but just couldn't get it sorted.
WE ARE SOOOO EXCITED.
 
OYSTER LACE TOP
Almost finished the lace top too, not sure the jacket to go with it will be suitable (too hot) but I will definitely have the lace top finished in the next couple of days.
 
 
Happy Hooking everyone
I promise to catch up with the weekly Granny Square and flower asap.

  6. What about a belt? I don't think it needs anything more in the way of crochet. It looks great.
