I love fog.How appropriate that I saved my Pre-Resolution purchase for today, my grey dress:
Nabbed it for around $26 on a clearance rack at the Bay - regular over $100. The top part of it has cables. It was so snuggly warm on a chilly day. The jumping off point for the outfit was the tights; once I had them picked out, accessorizing the rest of it was easy. They're a nice red wine colour, so I pulled both reds and purples out of them for accents. Added the white jacket (new, Pre-Resolution) and the black accessories (both neutrals) to really finish it off. In retrospect, I would have liked the brooch on the hat instead of the coat because you can't see it with the scarf, but I didn't wear either for very long, anyway. 
I got a lot of comments on these boots today, I think because I rarely wear them with a skirt. Picked them up at my favourite consignment store about a year ago - I love the cutouts.
A close-up of the jewelry:
And another fog picture - there are usually downtown buildings visible through the trees: 
Dress (Mexx), jacket (Jacob), tights (Mondor), scarf (gift from Mom), boots (consignment, Zara), belt (Jacob), brooch and necklace (Plum), earrings (thrifted years ago).

Those boots are fantastic and I love the punch of color with the tights!
ReplyDeleteThose boots are sensational!
ReplyDeleteIt looks soooo spooky!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tara! Welcome.
ReplyDeleteMS - I don't know why I've been hiding them under jeans all this time.
Thanks, Alison - I hear you (73 pairs of shoes).
Jane: it was pretty spooky, but it burned off and was lovely and sunny.
Alison, that would have put me in the poorhouse! How many shoes did you buy? How many do you still have?
ReplyDeleteOoh, I'm a size 9, so you're out of luck with me.
ReplyDeleteWow, I've only ever owned one pair of Docs - and 150 pairs! I thought I was bad with my 73.
I worked in a women's clothing store for 2 years - I think I spent every penny on suits and dresses...and then gained weight and gave them all away!
What a lovely gloomy day, and what a perfect outfit for it. You look fantastic; a sweater dress really suits your body!
ReplyDeleteErica, it got sunny later on - that's how the fog is here.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I have been a fan of sweater dresses since I got my first one when I was 17 (back in 1984).
Alison, that sounds like quite a dress! Mine was cream with a wide cowl neck - actually very similar to this grey one. I wore it with a self belt...of course, I had no idea how to wear it any other way!
