I posted back a bit about my first eBay purchase being a pair of grey leather Frye boots (from some left over consignment sale dollars). Well they arrived, fit like they were made for me and are even more wonderful and comfortable than I had hoped for. You are going to get SICK of seeing these!

I paired the boots with matching grey tights and my B44 striped dress. On top of that, I popped on a wool blend, loose knit, drapey sweater that I normally reserve for weekends. But I thought it would work well to de-bomshell the dress for the work environment. To bring out the red in the dress and add some colour, I'm using my red quilted handbag and of course, a bright red lip. I've also added a bluish-purple lucite bangle that has flecks of gold in it for a bit of daytime sparkle.

I feel fab in this outfit and I think it's because everything fits so well. I feel curvy in the best way, modern and still modest.

What do you think? Does it all work together?

BTW - these double shaft leather Frye's are $297 on Revolve Clothing's website and I got them for $85!
