Let the challenge begin!

I outlined my challenge goals here if anyone is really bored or can't sleep...

I just got these pants from BR, and I LOVE them. I was annoyed at missing out on the black watch Sloans that Suz also got, as they were too short on me and I hadn't acted quickly enough when the talls were still available. So I jumped when I saw these. Ripped off the tags and wore them the next day.

Based on my goals, this will be my last work purchase for a while. I feel a funny sense of relief at realizing that.

Thought they were just begging for some pattern mixing. The scarf was a no brainer, but I decided to push things a bit and also wear my navy/white snakeskin Ecco booties. We have no snow, and there was no precipitation forecast, so it was an opportunity to wear boots I don't usually wear at this time of year.

Combined with an older Joie sweater, that doesn't get worn as much as it should anymore, but is still one of my favs.

Comments, suggestions etc, are welcome!
