I don't know why I'm smiling in the picture below for my trip to the dentist. For me, this entailed a 2 1/2 hour drive to Ft. Collins to visit Dr. Mangle. No, kidding, that is really his name. Fortunately, he is a very nice man and I only went for a cleaning and didn't get my mouth mangled too badly.
So many of the fashion blogs that I follow have had outfits lately with tights and shorts. I've been wanting to do this look for awhile and got these Michael Kors corduroy shorts on eBay. I'm not sure if I like the length or not. I have a brown pair of shorts from J Crew, that are about 6 inches shorter that I thought might be too short, so when I bought these I went with a longer pair. I may end up having them hemmed some because they really shorten the length of my legs. After I viewed these pictures on my camera, I removed the scrunched up leg warmers for a longer line.

BLACK SUEDE BOOTIES - Target - their website
After my dentist appointment, I got a quick bite to eat at a Japanese fast food place (yum - rice & veggies) and then went shopping. I decided to stick to thrift stores and not hit Ross and TJ Maxx for a change. I went to Clothes Mentor, Plato's Closet, and a newer Goodwill Store. I'll post some pictures tomorrow from my mini-haul.
I wore my red/black/white Bohemia coat (see OoTD - 1/21) with a red scarf, black RayBan sunglasses and took my Giant Red Purse. It may have been too matchy/matchy, but I had fun wearing everything together. But then it was so nice and warm in Ft. Collins that I actually ended up ditching the coat and scarf after my appointment. So only the gals at the reception desk got to see the full impact and possibly roll their eyes at me.
These black suede booties from Target are surprisingly well-made, sturdy, and comfortable. I ordered them last year on-line at Target's web-site. I like the extra detail of the zipper on the side.
