   Wow! I love this look (especially the red skirt! ;). I especially like how you’ve paired the vest with the high waisted skirt. I’m usually afraid to obscure my waist when I’m wearing something high waisted for fear of looking boxy, but this looks great!!

   Frye are gods. You work the yellow tights so well, they always look strange on me!

   Oh! Love it. The yellow of the tights is very subtle against how bright that red/orange is–didn’t even notice them until I read your description.

   I’ve been resisting the lure of frye’s but might succumb this year. We’ll see.

   This ensemble looks absolutely brilliant on you! And you couldn’t be more correct, those boots are totally “black boots of amazingness”, I wish I had some black boots of amazingness!!!
