Y'all are great! It was such a surprise to look down the feed and see that this post had so many new comments, and all so nice! Thank you, everyone.

The booties, how I love these booties. These are the fraternal twin of the leopard print pony-hair ones that I wore at the SSIF. They are a few years old and (surprisingly!) from Brooks Brothers. 2 1/2" heel. Walkable all day. Beautiful leather. And they have a leather tassel on the back zipper, so the walk-off is great. I just wish I could clone them for when they wear out. They were featured in one of Angie's ensemble posts a few years back. They were marked waaaaaay down and I snapped them up. Then, a little later they were back in stock and Angie featured them again as a pick.

(BTW, Denise, thank you! If I had to pick two things to be memorable for, those are perfect. You are such a sweetheart! I'm so glad that I got to meet you in person too.)
