Bijou, I think my spite kept me warm—I’m so sick of the cold! But I’ve added a detail of the scarf for you.
Suntiger and Nuancedream, that’s what I like to hear!
Lyn67, thanks! I’m not sure why I’m happy in this dress, but I generally am. Maybe it’s the pattern. Interesting that it looks like texture in the first pictures. I’ve added a closeup (with a pen for scale) to show that it is in fact flat fabric. But you’re right—with the lace & the laces and the velvet, plus mohair scarf, boucle hat, and slick leather jacket, I’m a walking texture board!
Helena, doggehlover, Cat2, Cardiff, and Kate, wow, thank you!
Rachylou, I sent you a pic of one of these boots when we still lived in Tampa, regretting that I couldn’t wear them because they seemed so costume-y there! They arrived in my big box last fall, but then had to take a couple trips to the cobblers, with lockdowns in there.
Synne, you’re right! She might have me pegged with “boutique punk”. In this outfit, I’m your photo negative.
LaPed, you want these boots and I want your Thursdays—but I’m not swapping. I want them all for me, lol.
Nikki, now if only I had a cooler hat!
Sloper, thanks. The colors are all the same—black—except for the scarf and a bit of dark grey in the dress.
Angie, that’s me—shiny and new, touched for the very first time Thanks for the high praise!
