I have not taken any outfit photos on such a long time. I can describe.

For work, during most of the winter I’m outside for a total of 5 minutes or less per day. Hence the vitamin D level low enough to cause adult rickets. Thus on most days I can get away with a skirt and lightweight cashmere sweater or a dress and a heavier tweed jacket. Sometimes tights and shoes. Often tights and boots. If I wear a chanel jacket these days I almost always wear a solid colored cashmere scarf. I think a patterned scarf is too much. Today it is 7. I need a real coat. If I’m running errands after work I need a real coat. In that case I’ll wear a skirt and heavier weight cashmere sweater or a dress and an Hermes cashmere shawl with one of my coats. Definitely boots. The boots that you coached me into buying were truly life altering. I used to think that trousers were warmer for cold weather but I actually find tights and boots warmer. I hardly ever wear trousers anymore.

Spring and fall are the best times of year for outfits aren’t they? Dressing for very hot or very cold weather is a bit limiting.

You outfits are really beautiful. Sweater dresses work so well for you. Where is your beautiful teal coat? (This one is pretty too.)

Which boots did @Genie27 coax you into buying? I am considering SW now.
I agree that spring and fall are much easier to style.

Yes dresses and skirts are sooo much more comfortable than trousers.

Thanks the pup is doing better. He’s enjoying his dinner at the moment whole I pick our an outfit for tomorrow.

I really need to turn off the urge to buy an item that I like in every color available. I maybe wear 3 of the 8 pencil skirts on a regular basis. I also have these boots in 4 colors. I love them all but grey and black are worn most often.

Realize I’m late here, but so glad your pup is feeling better.
Also wanted to say I have this “multiple of a great thing” problem and I’m just plain not buying now (hard) while I figure this out. Plus I have tons to give away.

Hi, Genie convinced me to try the otk boots in general. I tried multiple styles. I did not like the thigh high ones that tie at the top. I think the model that I bought is called all jack. It’s the kind that comes just above the knee, but it’s suede all the way around. I do not like the elasticized back of the 50/50. But mine are a similar shape. And they have a 1.5-2 inch block heel.

The multiples thing is so hard. So far so good for not shopping much this year. One month in right? Almost 1.5 months? I downsized a lot last year and I continue to downsize more. I think its a very helpful exercise for so many reasons. Good luck with yours.

Thank you for the info and encouragement - I am determined that this is my year to clear things out and rehome - especially where they’re not being used and loved.
ETA: the SW boots may be the lowland? I’m looking at those - they look much more versatile than the H riding boots I never wear.

I’ve been downsizing too, katel. Feels good to get rid of things and see space. I’m not much of a keeper of what I don’t use anyway. Seems I’m getting worse about purging too.
