I'm having trouble with my camera in terms of the light so apologies for the various colours and degrees of darkness in these pics.

Today's outfit started with my dark olive green cargo pants. These have been total workhorses for me (thanks for the cargo inspiration MsMary!). I paired the pants with my black asymmetrical blouse thingy (with black tank underneath).

For footwear, I chose my patent Ara booties. I haven't worn these booties in some time as they bothered my PF but I have been absolutely diligent with my exercises and haven't had a flare up for a bit now. Plus I have my custom orthotics now and they fit in the booties quite nicely. I am taking my Chelsea boots as back ups just in case but hope I can wear the Ara's today.

To bookend the patent and give the outfit a bit of less casual vibe, I then chose my black patent structured clutch for handbag. Love the shiny bookending.

I'm starting to crave some of my necklaces again so today am wearing a beautiful dark red amber pendant hubby gave me several years ago. Red specs and a swipe of my new winter lipstick Clinique Cider Berry and I'm ready to go.

What do you think? Does this all work together? I wish I had taken a side shot because I really like the hi-lo hemline of the blouse thingy and the snaps on the side of the ankles of the cargo pants against the patent booties. Oh well…
