First things first: huge shout out and hug to bj1111 for sending over this amazing Allsaints vest with the coolest origami pockets! I had loved wearing my linen vest in my Tom Petty outfits, and this is a more than stellar F/W version. I will hug it and squeeze it and love it forever. :)
The skirt was a dollar find, NWT, that I had put up on Ebay but never sold. Finally, I figured the price was lowered enough that it was worth it to me to just keep it for myself. Wearing it to Dress for Success later today, but also to a doctor's appointment, just in case it goes longer than I expect.
In other news, I *really* need a "dress shoe" alternative to my Report Marks! They straddle the great divide very nicely, but they are still casual. If you remember my walkable pump post, I've tried a bunch of the recs since then - gratefully, I spotted many at the flea market and was able to try for free. I seem to have very picky feet, however, especially for 8-hour pumps - so easy to go wrong with a vamp that can cut into your foot if it fits slightly wrong or is too stiff.
If you have any tried and true 8-hour dress shoes, I am alllll ears. :)
