Irina, happy birthday! You are looking spectacular in your retirement wardrobe. I really love each and every one of these outfits. The addition of some browns and taupes and burgundy adds a gorgeous autumnal richness to the palette and harmonizes with your hair. Love the textural interest in these outfits also.

Love your new sweater and bag in #1 -- fab holiday purchases. And I am curious about the jeans, too. I haven't been able to make a dark jean with a deep cuff work for me yet but I would like to try!

#2 is so much fun with the matching sunnies and shoes, and wow, the knee pockets on the jeans are really great.

#3 - those look like new shoes, too, no? Love the light pants with this.

Looking very urban casual elegant with your Stella for the concert!

Love the layering and the addition of blue (of course!) to the next outfit, and really like the more fitted cardi, too -- a fun change for you, and great with the beautifully fluid trousers.

Plus love your light coloured puffer in the last outfit!.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for you kind words and birthday wishes.

Momo, Boots are very old, Chelsea style from Louise et Cie, one of my best purchases ever. My cobbler was fixing them and applied shoe wax for shine.

They are great!

Beautiful! Elegant and cool at the same time. Happy Birthday!

And your hair looks great! Thanks for your encouragement on my grey hair post.

I missed to say 'Happy Belated Birthday'!! I'm 60 in Feb and feeling quite calm about it. JAIME you quite right 60 does have more dramatic ring to it than 59 :).
