So glad your suitcase turned up and we get to see this outfit. Amy's scarf looks positively toasty warm. I'm finding that even a silk scarf is nice for warmth during the day while I'm at home. Of course one or two pug dogs in my lap help keep me warm too

LOL, Pil. I have a Siamese cat for that purpose. He is a similar colour to your pugs and goes well with my new BR cream jeans!

Siameses and pugs are of the "cooler" neutral variety, no wonder you look fab with your animals!

My tan chihuahua is too warm to match me!

Fab, just fab. Congrats!

Love the plaid pants on you -- they have presence without overwhelming, if you know what I mean. And they provide dark colors with a bit of pop --- so valuable for those dark cold days of winter!

Gorgeous scarf, and how brilliant to pair it with plaid! I don't think I'd have thought of that. Also cheering for the return of the missing suitcase!

Plaid envy here!

Yay for returned suitcases! Both versions are fantastic!

*faints* This has got to be one of your best ever. Those pants are divine! I think they add in that "disciplined avant-garde" element you said you wanted to incorporate in 2014. And hooray for returned luggage. What a relief.
