Hi Jonesy, Thanks for letting me know about the ankle boots. They take a little courage to wear since the look hasn't seemed to hit the streets here yet, if you know what I mean Not that this stops me. It just gives me a short pause. Well I will keep on with my uneven slouchy boots too. I suppose in the worst case I come off as an absent-minded scientist in nice boots. By the way, I actually have a dress very similar to 3/4, except it is sleeveless and the collar is a little different. I don't wear it very often, but you are reminding me to break it out.

Late here - not sure how I missed this post! The Benetton skirt is PERFECT. The first dress looks a little dated, but could be pulled into today with different boots, perhaps? The second dress looks too columnar to me on your enviable height - perhaps shortened?

Now I'm off to read other comments and see how off base I may be!

I love your fashion fearlessness!
