Crackers, you look amazing! I normally have a bit of trouble with black and brown together, but the shade of brown here seems to be different enough from the black that it works really well. Fabulous outfits!

I hope you are doing well.

Well. I'm off to bed all warm and fuzzy with all the legging love AND brown boot love. I'm going to walk a little taller tomorrow.

My faves are with the drapey sweaters. *Louche*... Oh I hope that connotes 'coolness' like I think it does, hehe...

All very good looks, Crackers. I'm glad your beautiful dog proved helpful with the colour combinations!

I love every single black outfit on you. Ok, where do I find these skirted leggings?

Rachylou, thanks for the coolness stamp!

Citygirldc, these are the Eileen Fisher skirted leggings. LisaP and Alaskagirl have the BlackFive ones and rock them. Either way, they are so worth trying!

Oh, potential for a new thread.... WIW inspired by our fur babies!

These are all great looks but is not really a but vest:-)-in my opinion these have the PSLL(perfect skirted legging's length)! Esp love all the long, chuncy, fluid or assimetric hemmed sweaters to it, they make it go so well for some great casual outfits! Love the brown boots to them! Good job!

WOW, LOVE. So inspiring. Your skirt is slightly longer than mine so it actually is not just a butt-vest! And the boots are fantastic with your hair.

Love all of these. But I'd be curious -- what are your favorites?

All of these look fantastic! Great casual chic. And your black lab is gorgeous.

The skirt does not appear skin tight on you, so I would not call it a butt vest.

I think you look FAB in them and the brown boots bookend your hair nicely.

I like the same outfits that Angie mentioned. Have fun with your new SL looks!

Wow, love this! 3, 6 & 8 are you absolute favs.

Thanks everyone!

AM, I wear number 1 and 8 a lot, probably a couple of times a week, it's easy to throw on for school runs and cozy.

Cocolion, thanks, I know you share a love for black labs!

I love black and brown together, so I think the boots are the perfect choice. You look great in those skirted leggings, and what a good idea to use your gorgeous pup for inspiration.
