I am being very good and am not splurging on every little item I see. It's hard because this season seems to have so many great styles and looks! However, true style comes from carefully selecting pieces for your collection and I don't NEED all of these items (or even find them to work with my lifestyle).
This top. I want to wear it with black very opaque tights and Engineer boots and lots of kohl liner to a very hip place. too bad I don't have Engineer boots, a hip place to go, or $270 to shell out on a shirt.
These boots. the closest I may get to the Frye “harness” boots I have coveted for decades but do not fit over my monster calves. I have ordered them and will provide a review once they arrive. Hooray for companies selling interesting and cool boots in larger sizes!
This bag. I have always loved Hayden-Harnett; each season they come out with the coolest shapes and colors. This is a nice change from my Banana Republic hobo in tan and is a nice color to go with all the black and jewel tones I often sport.
These pumps. Like I really need another pair of pumps, but I love this pattern and think they would be so lovely with a simple black dress… or even a great pair of jeans! I have found over time the animal-print heels I own end up being the most versatile shoes in my wardrobe. Thing is, I already have animal-print heels…
This coat. I always love red coats, this pintucking and the self-belt are so different and fun yet elegant. I doubt the cut would flatter my frame and I do have a lovely black wool single-breasted Calvin Klein that is the same length, fits great, and got for a song at TJ Maxx a few years ago.
This dress also. I love the little-girl cut, the pockets, the silk, the cool back… I love how it would look current with black tights and heels, but could also transition into warmer months.
You should get that BR dress in a 12 regular and have it hemmed. The regular 12 runs a little larger than the 12 petite.
I want some plain black or dark brown boots to wear with skirts this fall. I love the shape of that purse! I also love red coats. I could easily see you with those animal print pumps! Great picks!

okay, that jim morrison shirt is something i would usually hate, but I can so see it how you mentioned it and i would love it and I could see you sporting it too. I didn’t know pat field had a site you could shop from!
oh yeah, you’ve gotta have those shoes. Those shoes are the bomb!
Well I wouldn’t be called Shoegal if I didn’t encourage you to buy shoes would I?! š
Oh my lovely Shoegal, you are a bad influence… a bad influence with good taste! š
Get the shoes! Your animal print ones are brown, these are black…
Oh! That little dress is so elegant! And that coat is so chic!

Thank you also for the tips on how you curl you hair!
I love those boots!! Plus they are a flatter heel than my current tan boots (very similar but with a taller chunky heel). I’m searching for something like these for the fall/winter. (Just had hip surgery so I’m going to need something easy to walk in this winter š )
