We started out taking photos by the building opposite the gorgeous Science Hall (built in 1888) on the UW campus...but those lovely red bricks cast such a warm glow on me that we had better luck underneath them. 
These Leota Circle dresses would be perfect if they'd stop making the shoulders for a linebacker (I don't even know what a linebacker is)...however, when you cover them with a cardigan = perfection. This green was such a pretty color & imagine my delight when I had a pair of shoes that matched *perfectly*.
This is my first time wearing these Ponte Pants from Torrid...I LOVE them. I wasn't sure if I should get a 4 or a 5...the 5 fits great, but I think I could have gone either way. I got them on sale last year & I wish I had gotten the purple plaid too (I immediately stopped writing here & went to eBay to find them...I found a 4x, I think they'll fit just fine).
I am not a fan of these black socks with this outfit...now that I see them in photos...but it was a bit too cold to go without socks. I wonder what I could have done differently? Perhaps a polka dot pattern? 
My make-up with this outfit included...Urban Decay eyeliner in Overdrive; UD eyeshadow in Big Sky, Stranded, Hell Ride, & Radio; NYX Liquid Suede lipstick in Cherry Skies; & Black Metal Dahlia nail polish by Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics. 
I wore this dress on a Saturday to go to farmers' market with the girlie (who is climbing a mountain of snow to get into my car...I offered to pull up)...then home to finished getting ready for Cabernet wine tasting. I was considering wearing the polka dot leggings with this dress, but when I asked Kate...she didn't like the red with green...so of course I went with that. 
Cabernet with David & Kate!
And a dog...& food...
This was my favorite of the evening...a bottle from St. Supéry that Kate brought. David & I visited that winery years ago in Napa because Kate liked it so much. 
Baby babysitting! Where I definitely didn't wear this outfit. But, cute. We got to spend several hours with this adorable niblet...he's so happy & fun to be around. Also, he told his parents who he was on day 1...middle finger in the air. 
Freddie enjoyed watching the Yellow Submarine video & listening to the lullaby station on Apple Music. And his fingers.
