Fab as always. Now that my hair has so much visible grey, I am feeling cool metallics even more and may be done with gold and bronze (at least in large quantities) but they look wonderful on you. That tee is such a nice piece for your ensembles.

Anxiously awaiting more jacket weather here too! We were teased with a couple of days but now are back into the 80s.

Thanks all!

On the combat boots, this is a summary of the conversation I had with my mum on the weekend about my outfit:

My mum: “What are those boots?”
Me: “Combat boots.”
My mum: “They look very heavy. Should you be wearing those with such a pretty skirt?”
Me: “It’s a fashion thing. It’s called juxtaposition. You wear masculine with feminine, casual with dressy. It’s about unexpected combinations.”
My mum: Pauses. Purses lips. “Well, the colours go together.”

She will take some convincing yet!

April, I will tell my mum she has to step up. Pressure is on!

Janet, I will enjoy the cooler metallics on you. I love them too but the warmer versions suit me better.

If anyone can convince your mother of the merits of combat boots with skirts, it's you :)! Fabulous look! That gold jacket is really striking, and your midi skirt game is so strong, as usual. The last pic of your pup giving a kiss to the cat is extremely adorable!

Love your MOM!!!!:-) Metallics and pets heaven here, too!!! Love that golden moto especially- great for day and night- and your use of combat of course is master pro!

Hmm, theory of the development of Western music is that it has become increasingly dissonant from the Middle Ages to now. Perhaps your mom would like the thought that you are bringing similar progress to fashion? Cool that she’s willing to talk about it with you, even when she disagrees!

Awww Love this, but especially the jacket!

Stunning outfit, and the cutest fur-babies

You wear this outfit well; your outfit creation is admirable, as is joining your mother in enjoying fashion. A look with edge and elegance; perfectly you.

That sounds exactly like something my mom would have said! LOL. I so look forward to your posts. Such loveliness. It's funny, I almost wore my new boots with a leopard flowy wrap skirt this past weekend, but the weather is still too warm for boots, here.

Ok, this is my favorite favorite outfit so far, and it's hard to imagine you can even top your recent ones! Just...everything!

Most splendid!

Also: Gene Tierney!!

That burnished metal jacket is absolutely stunning. LOVE.

Thanks all for the very kind words.

Rachy, yes to all and everything Gene Tierney. Laura. Need I say more?

I told my mum I will be reviewing her outfit on the forum next time we do lunch and I think she is a little intimidated! I wanted to give her plenty of time to prepare. Can’t wait to see what she comes up with

Don’t ever stop posting! You are an inspiration. And I love the movies you are watching. I have to start a list so I can watch them with my mom.

As soon as I saw “metallics” I knew I would love what you are wearing here. You wear this so well! And I love your sweet fur babies; they look very comfortable with each other.

Stunning as always! You have the best skirt collection I have ever seen. The fur babies are super cute.

Wow, another gorgeous outfit! Love the skirt so much. And I have to laugh at your conversation with your mom, sounds like a fun lunch.

I am super late to this, but -- WOW! Can you possibly get any more glamorous? I doubt it. You put even Gene Tierney to shame!

Love the cat and dog photo, too. Also in golden hues.

I picked up my T-shirt. Don’t remember yours well enough to know if they’re the same.
