It is all relative - I was in Dallas for work one September, and packed mostly summer clothes as it was going to be warm, in my opinion. In the hotel elevator, a very lovely local lady commented on how cold it was, and that it was time to take out the furs.

Thank you!!! Now, unfortunately, my wardrobe thoughts are turning toward Chanel [emoji177][emoji177][emoji177]
Your skin and hair are gorgeous! Forget the bow, haha! It looks lovely.
I bought it for the same reasons, to wear doubled long and tripled. My SA told me the same thing - to use as a chain for wallet. I didn't have the guts to tell her tpf said it's a no-no, haha. You can also wear as a belt too. Yes, it's a great necklace in between what you already have and will look fab with your Chanel jackets.
LOL!!! Can't believe the guy actually knocked on your window!
Yes, they're still sold in department stores.
Thank you, nicole!
Nope. I pretend that I have a winter/fall wardrobe just like you doCold weather is relative, I know. What I think is cold, is tropical compared to other places on the planet, but it did get cold for us this winter and I was able to wear the heavier things I have. The funniest comment I ever received regarding this was from a woman I knew high school in New York, who I ran into as a sales person at the local Bloomies. I was looking at a long wool coat and was thinking out loud as to whether I would ever wear it. Her comment to me was a question...."don't you ever leave the state?" So the answer is that if I do venture outside the state or to colder areas of this state, i am prepared!
However, there are certain things that are all season here that do make shopping easier. I bought the Robot jacket in black with the thought that it is an all year around jacket for this climate.
lol I also like to pretend we have fall/winter. After living for 9 years on the east coast as a native Californian, I developed a penchant for outerwear. I kept all my best long wool coats in hopes that I would at least get to wear them when traveling. With the recent winter we had, I was often the only one dressed appropriately when going out at night! I love the weather we are having right now, mid to high 60s. I call it Chanel jacket weather.

Boots number 3: SW hinterland otk boots black suede. They run a bit larger than the other two brands. I took my normal size. The heel is perfect as Genie predicted. I tried them briefly with one of my tweed skirts. 
Compared to my to the knee boots. To be fair, they are flat with no heel so inherently less flattering with a skirt. I would usually wear sheer black hose. The otk style seems better to me.
The otk boots are wrinkly fir most of the length, but they seem ok. I hope they don't continually fall down more as I walk. That would be annoying.

I do like the OTKs on you. It's a nice clean line under the skirt
You could try shortening/ pulling up the skirt a bit with the OTKs, to lengthen the leg line?. They do look a bit wrinkly - can you pull them up a bit more? Mine stay up as the calf seam is a bit snug on my upper calf. The knee area does fall down a bit but it's not so noticeable under a skirt.
Now I remember why I didn't go a 1/2 size up - the whole boot was looser around my leg.

PbP, these look fabulous! I love love love SW otk boots. Have 2 pairs but they are both flat heeled. It has been difficult to find otk boots that have a small heel and not a stiletto.
I think I can do better. I was in a but of a hurry. I just ordered a half size smaller to try them too.
All credit goes to Genie.

And I give credit to periogirl, who first caught my eye, wearing her SWs.
Sickgrl, the midlands and block heeled hinterlands are non stilettos.

I love otk boots on you. That's how I would wear it with the skirt covering the boots. I bought SW otk highland boots in taupe several months ago and its wrinkly like that. It ran a bit big on me and I found the heels too high on the highlands so I gave to my DD.
Here's some pics I found on different ways I wore farandole 160 cm. Apologies if you already seen these. I also wear it double like the last pic with the twilly. Can't go wrong with either 120 or 160.
Now it's my turn for our mutual admiration society - you're gorgeous! [emoji259]
