Although it’s taking me a while to post these photos, I really did wear the boot outfits all in one week.  Even when the temperature crept up to 70, I still met the challenge.  Yup, that’s taking one for the blog.

Patterns are hard for me.  I love them and want to own more, but usually fall short on execution.  This outfit is proof I am getting at least a little better.  Leopard and tweed in the same outfit- I’d call that pattern success.  Speaking of tweed, I’ve also been pleasantly surprised at how often I find myself reaching for this moto jacket (most recently, here).  Obviously I loved it enough to buy it, but had a bit of buyers remorse over spending that much on another jacket given the climate I live in- wearing it 3-4 times in a month makes me feel much better about my splurge.

How do you handle buyers remorse?  Most of the time, I just return the item, this one, I decided to make it work.
