Ah, another late night. I stayed a couple of extra hours at work to get some stuff done, then met up with some friends for a "12-12-12" drink. And now it's late and I'm so tired...
But let's move on.
That's my same burgundy velvet top, grey jacket and shoes that I last wore together here with my wide-legged high-waisted pants. Not exactly creative, but I wanted to showcase this gorgeous wool plaid skirt. I like this outfit better.
One thing that I didn't love wearing all day were these shoes. Arg, these are just too high for me to wear all day. However, I love them and I don't plan to get rid of them after this month's capsule, but they will move up into the "party shoes" section of my closet. Strangely the other Fluevogs that I have with this heel don't hurt my feet as much as these ones.
All day, I was singing Patty Griffin's "Burgundy Shoes" while I wore this. Do yourself a favour and listen to this YouTube clip (there's no video, so just listen). I am a big fan of hers, so I'm linking 'cause I love. It's a beautiful song about a little girl with burgundy shoes and her mom, riding the bus.

I have a top similar in color to the one you're wearing and it is so pretty. Love that skirt also.
ReplyDeleteI love these colours, and that plaid skirt is fantastic - love the gathers, as well as the jacket's collar, cuffs, and shaping.
ReplyDeleteBut aw, poor feets! I hear you on the tiredness - this time of year is like a project on being over-extended!
I really like the red and grey together, Don't think I've ever tried that before! Thank you for the inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteGreat plaid skirt, Sheila (cut on the bias, I think?) - it looks swirly. Sorry the shoes ached; they are stunning.
ReplyDeleteYes, bias cut.
DeleteOOOO- love the burgundy velvet and the wool plaid together!
ReplyDeleteWere you swishing and swirling in the skirt??
Patty Griffin is AMAZING!!! I love "Up to the Mountain"
I did swish around a bit! I love Patty Griffin.
DeleteWhat a beautiful skirt - a classic!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty skirt! I love the rich colors in it. I have a similar one in more purple tones. I bet it kept you pretty warm too!
ReplyDeleteOh I love this look. It looks so rich and classically beautiful. And that jacket, oh my do I adore it. If I were thin and lived closer, I'd chase you down to get it!
ReplyDeletePERFECT plaid skirt, Sheila, PERFECT. I am soooooooo jealous!
ReplyDeleteI love the tartan skirt and the color of your shoes is so perfect for the holidays!
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a wonderful day,

Oh what shoes. Did you feel like Dorothy in them? High, but good...
ReplyDeleteI maybe have said, "There's no place like home!" a few times...
DeleteThose shoes are absolutely gorgeous. I like the older Listen up heels better than the new ones. That skirt is PERFECT as Lynne put it. It also looks very snuggly warm too.
ReplyDeleteThat IS an AMAZING skirt!
