I'm really enjoying this week's fashions. For starters, I adore the plaid suit, especially the skirt. I'm intrigued by the idea of wearing a long skirt and pretty beaded sweater for evening engagements (just need to schedule some) and all those glorious SHOES! I'm surprised to see a pair of high button shoes on offer. They look very Victorian to me but I suppose they were catering to an older crowd with those? Thanks for sharing!
