Thank you all so much. I'm feeling quite overwhelmed by all your lovely comments.

Anna - I'm wowed that you, someone I consider to be incredibly stylish, would have boot lust for my $8 thrift find!

YESSS!! Although you don't need to feel self-conscious in that dress, I do agree that it is more work-friendly with the blazer. I felt best wearing my B44s with a jacket, too. You've done wonderful things with the colors and booties here!

Wow! Ah-may-zing! I think the colors are adding to the fabness of the whole ensembles on you, too--you look gorgeous. I really like that blazer with the dress--perfect work combo. Thanks for posting on the blog, too.

This is TO DIE FOR. I was just lurking around but had to come out of lurkdom to say that. xD

This does look fantabulous! The colors of the dress with the cream is such a stylish combo. I cannot believe you thrifted such a great pair of booties. The way the sections of this dress work, creates a very flattering a d figure flattering look. You have nothing to worry about and the red jacket is the perfect topper. Just lovely.
