You look great--seasonal, not kitschy. I love those tights, and that coat? DELICIOUS. It's like sangria and candy apples and cotton candy altogether and had a sublime cranberry baby.

I did notice that Beth Ann! And how convenient to add another set of colours to the holiday roster! I am all on board for that!

The Munros are like SLIPPERS. Honestly, they are that comfy people. Just lovely.

Ariadne, yum!! I think I need a glass of that coat.

*got together, not altogether. My brain and typing fingers are fried!

Love cranberry(and fuchsia:-)) on You, Suz! Those thights are awesome-give the outfit just the right amount of pattern, but the color repetition is genial! As always simple and comfy looking!

Now, I don't know what you've decided on your outfit for Stepson's wedding, but can't wait to see! (I can remember looking at your post without logging in, and loved all-including somebody else's ideea-if still in doubt-to just wear an apron (as a host) -then quickly change to match the crowd:-)

You look great, and I love the colours. Lovely tights, what a shame they are not going to last much. Is the denim skirt confortable? When I was young I had a denim skirt and I *hated* it because it was so unconfortable (no stretch then), I have such bad memories that I have never bought another one!

I .love this great tights.

You look fabulous! I'm really loving that coat. Too bad the tights may not last much longer, they are cute.

Oh my goodness Suz, you've outdone yourself with this one. So pulled together, but in a casual relaxed way. That coat is amazing. And you now have to tell me more about those booties (brand, where you got them from)... I've admired them, but if you're going to rave about the comfort.... I might just have to actually investigate...

Thank you all!

Elizabeth, the booties are the famous Munro American Robyns -- an Angie pick from NAS. You might have to size up half a size. They're an incredibly easy bootie to wear.

Niefern, they don't make denim skirts the way they used to! Thank goodness. Nowadays they all have a bit of stretch. This is a cheapie from Old Navy (I think I paid $7 for it on sale) but it is wearing well. I don't wear it as often in winter because denim does tend to stick to tights, making it necessary to make adjustments throughout the day, but my coat was covering it so I wasn't too worried about a malfunction. In summer, this one is just fine. I do prefer the ones that don't have the front zipper (which makes a pooch from the side at the belly) but such is life...for now, this one does me pretty well.

A fab outfit. I am surprised at how versatile that red colored bootie is. I'm starting to think about adding that to my fall shopping list for next year. All my footwear is black, brown or a shade of camel.

Lisa, I have decided that I need a pair of coloured footwear in rotation at all times. These booties are extremely versatile and useful. My plan going forward is:

One dark neutral (black or navy...or perhaps one of both)
One light neutral (light taupe or grey...or perhaps one of both)
At least one animal print or other pattern (if it can be light coloured, like my SE Pettys, so much the better)
One coloured (like these Munros).

Suz, I'm late to this, but I'm glad I saw it. You look splendid. I'm joining the fan club for your boots and coat; just lovely. Fun tights too!

Gorgeous color for a coat (says another cranberry coat wearer)!

Lovely Suz!
I too have found some great winter tights in sale bins, and at a good $
A timely reminder to wear my reddish belt today to a X-mas morning tea.
