I saw these boots in the November issue of Lucky, worn with a fairly similar outfit. Then I saw them on Barking Dog Shoes. Then I became obsessed, and bought them. And I adore them completely. They're as comfy as they are cool.
Husband Mike adores them, too. If he could squeeze into them, he'd borrow them. Fortunately they're far too small, so I don't have to share.
On a whim, I slipped on this superfantastic Karin Jacobson cocktail ring. It's rare for me to mix up my ring routine, but I felt like it made sense to balance out that chunk of a necklace with a chunk of a ring.

When I first thrifted this dress, it seemed too big in the upper-bodice/bust. But when I tried it on at the tailor, with every intention of having it taken in, it fit fine. Clearly, all the push-ups I've been doing lately have filled out my pecs. Or I gained a bunch of weight in my ... shoulders. Whatever, just glad the dress fits now!

Cal called me and said, "Hey, what are you doing today?" And I said, "Shopping." She said, "There's a vintage sale you NEED to check out in Richfield. I am carrying around nine dresses right now." She ended up buying 13 before we even arrived, and I bagged 10 of my own ... but the real prize of the day was likely this hat. It was $3.
And I was already wearing my little pink and black ensemble, so I could just tack it onto my head and spend the rest of the day attracting attention to my noggin.

This outfit should be way cuter. In theory, it is unbearably cute ... but in practice? Meh. Still love that insane polyester thing, and it will make many more appearances, I'm sure. Also:
I ate my cats, you guys. I had to do it. They got in my outfit shot again. Plus I was reeeeeeally hungry.

I love that pink dress in the last outfit. I love all the outfits, but that pink dress is my favorite, I think. And teal tights.
Poor cats. I always joke to mine about making cat stew, but I haven't yet! But hey, good source of protein, right?
(I only use 100% organic sarcasm with my statements.)
I absolutely love the combo of the green dress and teal tights. It's so bold and unexpected. It's definitely my favorite of the week.
I LOVE the basic black-and-white, and also the fuzzy pink tam!
What about your hair?!
I have to say I adore the first picture. I've been wanting to make a tulle skirt for months and the boots remind me of the Doc Marten Phinas that I so wanted, but cannot find in the stores up here any longer.
The outfit *is* cute! Definitely thanks to the shoes, which somehow work even though they are so summery. We need to see more of your vintage dress finds!
My favourite thing about this post is your manicure. So sleek, so impressive. Soon after that comes your pink furry hat, and matching lipstick and scarf. I <3 pink. xx
As always, you look absolutely gorgeous! Really love that pink hat on you!
I'm still giggling over your kitty comment! Hubby and I love to talk silly about our Tortie...we'd like to take a bite out of her?!
The first outfit is my favourite this week! White abd black are a very classic combination, but I like how you've punched it up with those aweome boots!
enc: Hair false alarm! It looks about the same as it always does. ;)
I love the funky pink fuzzy hat! I have a couple of vintage ones like that - it's rarely cold enough here to wear them, though (and they are WARM).
Hee, love seeing your kitties!
Isn't it ironic that if you WANTED the cats in your photos, they would absolutely refuse? :P
I am loving the colours in that first shot, the leaves make me happy. Thos boots look fantastic! Oooh and that green dress is such a wonderful colour. Woah, and that pink fur hat is amazing!! Hope you're having a lovely weekend :)
I adore the boots! And the yellow shoes! Actually, I love all your shoes, but those yellow shoes are positively darling. And I wouldn't say the last outfit is meh, I think it just needs a different blazer.
I threaten to eat my cats all the time! I even discuss how to prepare them for maximum tastiness. (Grilled? Stewed? Broiled?) They don't believe me and they're right, but nobody tell them that, okay?
I think I have a crush on those boots.
That last outfit is my favorite! What didn't you like about it?
love the green dress!
I love those Born boots. They incorporate the buckle trend without risking being dated in a month.
I love that green vintage dress, the yellow slingbacks and your adorable cats. I miss mine... He's still vacationing away from me!
LOVE the hat! By itself, it seems like it would be wild and crazy, but you make it look classy.
Anna: Thanks, kitten! Ya know, the various navies didn't match .. and not in an intentional, cool way. And I think the outfit would've been better with a cardigan instead of a blazer. The dress is just a big sack of crazily-patterned fabric, and putting it with that structured blazer looked off to me. But I shall try, try again! And, obviously, I didn't hate it so much that I omitted it from ye olde roundup.
Love the layered skirt, love the hat but that cat-eating photo takes the cake! The cat-flavored cake.
Oh my- I have to LIST the things I ADORE in this week's round up.
1.The yellow pumps and black tights- fab
2. That precious pink hat!
3. The cats
4. The leaves, if our fall looked like that I would spend hours in the leaves alone
5.That green dress was amazing!
So much loveliness I couldn't restrain my enthusiasm

love them all but especially the green dress one. glad it fits now!
You're right about the hat! It really gives you an "attitude". Lots of good things going on with your wardrobe this week--especially the boots.
I know you've said you're not a ring gal, but I think your hand looks great with rings! And kudos to you for wearing a great vintage hat! Love it!
The pink dress is fab, and I look forward to seeing other ways that you style it.
Ha, your cats are the exact type and coloring as my two!
I almost fainted with love for those Born boots... sigh <3
Gorgeous hat! I'm all into hats myself so congratulations on the new acquisition!
Love the hats, and love the cats.
Thanks for sharing all your outfits Sal, I love seeing them!
Love the scarf as belt with that vintage dress! & those yellow Aldo shoes are to die for.
You really rock the black and white outfits, Sal -- I'm loving that first outfit. And that pink hat is adorable! What a find!
I'm so happy you found us! You have a fantastic blog!
And those suede booties I'm wearing are from Nine West.
Lady, you were color wonderful this week!
I totally forgot to mention that Dodd's shoe company totally originated in the town I grew up in. I cannot tell you how warmed my heart was when I saw that you bought those gorgeous boots from the same place that I first discovered high heels.
Loving the green/teal and yellow/navy combos. Gorgeous.
I love all of your outfits....you have so much color this week!
I'm loving that first outfit and the last dress.
Very inspiring and lovely, dear
xoxo
That first picture of you is stunning. I love the backdrop, the outfit and, as usual, I love the smile and feminine attitude in your pose!
And I loved your pink & black outfit, even before you added the hat. However, its addition totally made that outfit FUN (when the jacket was closed, that is). What a great shopping trip.
I wonder if the black is too much contrast against your insane polyester thing?
Lurve ze kittehs!
