There Is A Chill In The Air...

Whoa!  I made the mistake of being outside yesterday when the cold front ye ole weatherman has been promising arrived as promised... Whoa!

The temperature dropped about 30 degrees in about 30 minutes!  Whoa!

Fortunately, I was close to home so inside I quickly raced.

So what is a girl to do on a Saturday morning when the temps have dipped into the cooler range for the first time?  Celebrate with a lovely cashmere turtleneck, that's what.

I got this wonderful number last winter.  I can see it in regular rotation this year.  It is so soft.

The only thing... the color is a little vibrant for me.

It is certainly an attention grabber.  Hee Hee

Of course, I am not one that shies away from "attention grabbing" articles of clothing so I am sure you will see this one again.

What do you think?
So after I settled on the sweater it was time to decide on what to pair it with.

Pneumonia had me down for so long that it seems like all I wore the whole month of September was a pair of pajamas so I really wanted to go with one of my beloved pencil skirts today.

How could I go wrong with this one?

Don't you just love the cute little pattern in the slit?

Besides, I think they make a perfect pair.  How about you?

To keep things a little more "casual" I opted to leave the sweater untucked.

Truthfully, I have tried tucking this sweater in and it just doesn't work. 

Another reason that it may see fewer spots in the rotation than its cashmere loveliness probably deserves.

To finish things off I decided to pull out some well worn favorites. 

These tall brown boots are made by Born.  If you read my blog at all you are probably aware of how much I appreciate Born.  They are fabulous.  Simply the most comfortable boot you will ever wear.

If you do not own a pair of Born boots I highly recommend that you get a pair.  They will serve you well for years to come.

Don't believe me, take a look at the toes on these.  Hee Hee

The only bad thing, they are so "well worn" that they just are not suitable for work anymore.  I really need to find a new pair of brown boots for the office.  Hmmmm

Well, the finished outfit looks like this...

What do you think?

So my day... real quick...

Pretty boring.  Got up early, went and actually did a light workout.  Very light, my strength is still on the rebound.

Returned home, dressed and headed out for brunch with a couple of friends.  A little grocery shopping (you would be surprised what you are in need of after having not been home for several days), a couple of errands and then back home.

I wish I had some interesting interactions to share but I really do not.

One thing I did notice as I moved around Dallas today...

FALL IS HERE... at least in the fashion world.

Burgundy in every shade.  Boots.  My fellow Dallas ladies have been stocking up and waiting for today.

Great looks all!  Go Dallas!

Another Lunchtime Post...

Hello All,

I will not waste your time with excuses... I just have not had time to blog...

Today I am getting an outfit post up for the first time since May 4th, yes, 26 days ago.  Oh well.

Anyway, this one will be very quick... not unlike how today's outfit came together this morning.  For those that read my blog, you know that is not normal.  I am an obssessive planner, especially when it comes to my daily attire.  I rarely do what I did today... completely change my mind.

With that in mind, be kind, this ensemble came together fast... no time to think or re-think.

The ensemble...

This skirt is the reason that I changed my mind about what I would wear today.  I noticed the cool little "animal" print slit and it began to call to me.  Anyone else ever have such an experience?  I just had to figure out how to wear it today... I HAD to.  Hee Hee

Seriously, I do think the little pattern in the slit is unique and cool.  What do you think?

I went with this wine colored sheer blouse mostly because I wanted to wear it... despite the fact that I am not completely sure it goes with this skirt.  It is light & so feminine.  I love wearing it.

The pattern in the skirt is actually brown but when paired with this particular blouse I think it comes off alomst burgandy.  Well?  Do you go along with that?

And the two in their full glory.

Finally, I added my brown "chunky" shooties that I don't believe you have seen here before.  As I said, this came together FAST this morning so I forgot to photograph the shoes.  Sorry.

So... how did I do?

Gotta go, need to get a little something in me before my afternoon meeting.

See Ya!
