Today's crazy getup

Mochi

Veteran

Not sure whether I'm a pirate today or a Japanese merchant. Leaning towards pirate (though that's what I always do). About to head off to writing class. Thank goodness there's no snow or slush and I can wear my lovely new boots.

Kimono jacket: from some boutique in NYC, a million years ago
Jacket: Ann Taylor workhorse
Blouse: Elie Tahari, The Rack
Jeans: Joe 's Jeans
Belt : Nordstrom
Booties: Miista via Urban Outfitters

Love you all! Xoxoxo

Thank you. Think I'm going with kimono. Pirate looks better but is too warm for indoors (blouse underneath is sleeveless).

Fantastic! I'm partial to the second one because... you know, me and jackets, and that jacket is particularly fantastic on you, but they're both great! Love the boots.

Both outfits are great! #1 looks more cozy and #2 more structured.

How glorious! The drape of the toppers against the straight-up denim. The saturation in the blue with the shine of the booties.

Aarrggh! Ye be fair, pirate maid!

Thank you, MK! I'm out the door. I ended up wearing both because it's cold! I'm a weird hybrid today.

Gorgeous new boots, that's a great color. And I really like the grey jean here too, a nice change from all the dark jeans I see.

First of all HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Second, those boots! I'm so glad the weather cooperated and you got to wear them. I wouldn't consider your outfit a crazy getup at all. Your style comes alive when you're able to wear these great statement boots and jackets. You are looking invincible today, which is as it should be. Have fun in class. I hope they give you a balloon.

Ooh yes, the fab boots! Love both iterations Mochi, but I do have a particular soft spot for the jacketed version. And belated Happy Birthday! I hope your day was as fab as you are

Good grief Nancy - I think this might be one of your best yet. Love the grey and purple color palette on you and I like it with both the kimono and the jacket, which is great since you ended up wearing both!

And those boots are THE BOMB! (does anyone use that expression anymore???)

Happy birthday!!!!!!

You look great! I love the shine of the boots with the shine of the shirt, and the whole color palette is so flattering on you. (Particularly that royal blue, it's just perfect with your hair and skin.)

I love these greys on you, Nancy, and the vibrant blue is a fun and fab touch. The stripes in outfit one make me smile, and the jacket in photo two looks great two. You really are on a roll.

Happy birthday, Nancy!!

Oh man... *keels over*. You look incredible. I am either buying those boots or finding a way to turn my Joust booties silver.

I can't believe you don't already own silver booties, Una. They'd be so you! Though these are not for traipsing on snow and ice. Just saying.

Thanks so much, everyone. You've all validated and enabled me in my inchoate swashbuckle matador leanings. You've made me the colorful Bostonian I am today. You are all fab. Xoxo

You look great. I haven't logged in for a while and your short hair is new to me. It looks beautiful. Love your outfit too.

Happy birthday!

And I love this outfit so much!!! Perhaps you're a Japanese merchant sailor kidnapped by pirates and forced to join their gang?

Mochi, I love this! And I love how your style is evolving. Those boots are TDF!

Hi Nancy,
You look so great! If I haven't mentioned it before, I love your new haircut. It looks so sassy. Those boots are awesome and I really like the color combo. This look is so 'cool'.

Happy Birthday!!

Happy birthday!

I love both outfits, but I'm also super partial to #2. You're putting those boots to excellent use
