Went shopping with MIL today and had a wonderful time. We both bought clothes (everything on sale mind you) and then had sushi for lunch. MIL's first time eating sushi - seemed to like it!

Had several places to go while out shopping (some mundane errands thrown in the mix) so went with comfort all the way. Started with my gold flats (my most comfy shoes EVER) and paired them with my white bermuda shorts and hi-low floral tee. Popped on my orange leather handbag for another colour and away we went. How's the outfit? Proportions and mix ok?

While out, we went into BCBGMAXAZRIA. Normally their clothes are out of my budget but I always have a look at the sale rack. There was a beautiful two-tones blue wrap dress with long sleeves looking very lonely on the rack, as it was the last one. It was my size so thought, what the heck, I'll give it a try. Well I fell in love - hard! This is not posted as a Keep/Return for two reasons: 1) final sale so cannot be returned; 2) I love it!

Then my MIL wanted to look in Cleo and I spied this taupe/mushroom ponte knit faux tiered pencil skirt. Not exciting but a fabulous little staple and I've been wanting some fall/winter pencil skirts in colours other than black and grey. It fit perfectly so it also came home with me. I've popped it on here with a purple ruffled sleeveless blouse I already had and my Jeffrey Campbell three-toned oxfords. Probably not the best styling, but hopefully you get the idea. I think this is a keeper - yes?

Then once we got home, I changed into my grubbies to do a bit of yard work and literally just zipped up the cut offs when the doorbell range and there was the handsome and always popular UPS delivery man with my Blondo Vergara boots (one of Angie's picks). You'll have to excuse the outfit I'm wearing with the boots but I could not wait to try them on. They fit perfectly, are ridiculously comfortable and are beautiful. I was very worried they would be too tall in the shaft but they are not. My only tiny issue is that on my left knee (my bad knee) I have swelling on the inside of the knee that the boot pushes up a bit. It's not uncomfortable at all but may make the boot look a bit tight. But I'm not going to worry about it. Again, I think these are keepers - yes?

Thanks for looking and as always, all comments/suggestions welcome!
