Castle view!
The windows are all a-glow!
I still have two months to go in my Fall/Winter wardrobe, but the as-yet-unworns are revealing themselves. This is because the hangers are still backwards and certain sweaters catch my eye from the bottom of their piles.
The boots tied the whole thing together.
And I added bronze and brass jewelry to match the gold in the brocade.
I liked the elastic/metal belt slung around my hips.
I didn't even show the outfit off to my colleagues - I just talked to my boss and then left.
Vizzini was very rambunctious this morning, wanting to go out in the hall.
I could have used a thicker scarf, but I couldn't resist wearing this gorgeous blue silk scarf - it matched so well.
"Quickly, we must get out in the hall!"
Little weirdo. This lovely warm coat kept me warm, although by the time I got home the wind was starting to blow. Brr!
Accoutrements:
- Hat - M'Sieu Andre, thrifted

Another nap is needed...
Those boots! I didn’t catch the full design at first. LOVE. Feel better soon, and as always, thank you for sharing. Olivia
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Olivia! The boots are stunners, but I can only wear them in winter due to the fleece lining.
DeleteI'm sorry to hear you were unwell, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed it is now a thing of the past!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Olivia on the magnificence of those brocade boots and you'll be glad to know the rest of your outfit gets my full approval too :-) xxx
All clear, Ann! Just a minor bug, happily.
DeleteThey are amazing boots - they're tricky to style, but worth the trouble. Thank you, my friend!
You look spiffy especially given how you felt! Hoping you had a good nap and an even better sound night’s sleep. Am betting you had a certain furry someone who was more than happy to have you home. :)
ReplyDeleteThose boots are fabulous; L’Artiste knows how to create art on their boots. I miss my mid-calf boots of theirs but after many years of wear my toes screamed “we need a wider toe bed” so off they went as a donation.
Feel better my friend! Now I’m off for some breakfast and then to snuggle up with my laptop and your Limbo Sale and enjoy. :)
Cheers, Laurie
Clothing As Armour comes through again, Laurie! I did have a good nap (Vizzini nestled up with me, awww), and am feeling much better, thank you so much.
DeleteI bought these locally, and the store no longer carries that brand, but they are so gorgeous, aren't they? Aw, sorry to hear you said goodbye to a pair, but the feet speak loud and clear!
Thank you so much for your lovely comments! I truly appreciate them.
What totally fabulous boots! I also loved your coat, so elegant. Hope you've recovered from your tummy bug and are feeling better now.

Thanks so much, Vronni! Yes, what an elegant coat it is - it was a good purchase all those years ago. I'm much better, thank you!
DeleteHoping you feel better soon! There are a lot of digestive viruses going around right now, so do take care of yourself. Those boots are so spectacular!
ReplyDeleteIt was definitely something I ate, Julia - thank you for your good wishes! Feeling a lot better.
DeleteI agree, love these boots!
I hope you're feeling much better now.
ReplyDeleteThose boots are so cool! xxx
I am, thanks, Vix! Agreed, they are stunners!
DeleteLove the boots. Feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Hena!
DeleteOh I do hope you feel better now. Here the flu is in full range and with that a lot of people have stomach issues too. That's winter right. Such a pity so little people saw your outfit!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Nancy - my system has been unhappy ever since that awful night.
DeleteHow wonderful are those brocade boots. The blue in them matches your outfit wonderfully. Very pretty feminine styling!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Ivana!
