WIW: Gift from Secret Santa and boots are back!

I'm wearing my Secret Santa bracelet with old F21 citron skinnies and Equipment sweater. Does this color combo work?

The Gidigios are back! I'm wearing them in the house because they have a new sole and haven't been worn outside yet. Not sure this color combo works, but I needed something cheerful. It's -13F and I'll be wearing down skirt and jacket over everything.

Such a bold colour combo but it totally works. Loving the Equipment sweater! One of my fav brands, but I haven't tried the sweaters yet. How do they fit? TTS?

Awesome boots too, you look wonderful!

Totally works, and looks great. The bracelet is a nice pop of colour (against the broad canvas of colour?)

Yes outfit works great. I would remove the scarf, and maybe add one more black bracelet to coordinate with sunnies and boots, just because I'm more of a functional rather than a style scarf wearer. (Although I understand that in Alaska indoor scarves may be necessary.)

I am staring to fall in love with the boots. What is your calf circumference if I may ask and do these provide a snug fit. I hate calf gap in tall boots.

Denise, I have skinny calves - around 12.5" depending on how fit I am. These are adjustable with the buckles, though they zip, and fit around skinnies as well as with tights. Rae can tell you how hers fit too. They are not supertall which is good for me - I think the height of mine is 13" in a size 6. Truly the most beautifully made item I own, and that includes the Burberry coat!

Tina.b, these sweaters are a bit slouchy - I could have gone down a size, but I like the roominess of this one.

Yes, a scarf is necessary today! It's even chilly in my office.

Una I found a pair on eBay but they only have 10s. Can you recommend a seller?

Like the blue and yellow together. A nice pop of color on such cold, dark days!

Love those boots on you! So glad to see them back!

I think this link is the one Rae posted. I really want those 10s on eBay but he doesn't ship to Canada. Oh well!

The colors grabbed me on the home page amid a collection of mostly neutral outfits. Yay! I like the scarf, actually. Glad you have your lovely boots back

The color combo looks very cheerful for a cold day, or any day for that matter! I like the scarf, it's a great accessory with the outfit.

Denise, I bought them locally. Rae found the ebay seller Ceit linked. Good luck! I'd get your regular size - I think they fit TTS.

Welcome back gorgeous boots! I like the color combination.

Great sunny color combo! The boots and scarf speak to each other (but I can't quite make out what they're saying). Love the sunnies; looks like you've added a pair to your collection.

Nice! I saw that sweater sell out, come back into stock and sell out again, and I have yet to pull the trigger. Every time I see you in it, it makes me wonder if I should go for it!

Yay on the blue and yellow! A great reminder that sunny skies and sunlight are hiding behind the snow (somewhere, beyond, in the deeps...)

I'd be tempted to consider *another* bright colour for the scarf (especially since you don't need it to bookend your boots, being dark-haired). Or if black, something packing a little more tough attitude, to match the boots, rather than a fringe... But hey, you do what you have to do to stay warm, first and foremost; fashion can wait till that's sorted.
