I will try the items together. Once the boots arrive, hopefully in the next day or so, I can show what they look like together.
I am not usually a pattern mixer so the boots are a bit of an interesting experiment for me... but I admired them and needed to tell my mom she could help me buy something for my birthday (I ordered sooner for fear it will run out; the big day is next month). She usually complains that I don't wait to let other people buy me stuff I want. Anyway, I do love me some plaid.
I bet these items will be great for you as well, JAileen. I'm glad we can be coat twins, at least
