@Hoggirl love ALL of the shoes and boots. I’ve really have been coveting a pair of sock booties. We have winter and snow where I live so I’ve come to terms that all I wear in the winter are practical snow boots that I don’t slip on the snow in. Makes me very sad actually.
So living vicariously with those really cute boots you bought
Oops - that should have read, “horrible for my COMPLEXION”
@Hoggirl , are your black coated WHBM jeans from a few years ago, with fun zippers placed throughout? $100. If so, I bought those too and just love them? I bought a pair of leopard peep toe booties I can’t wait to wear them with. I like your styling tips, too.
@conmama - Yes, they are! I love them as well. I also have an olive pair (not coated) that are similar. I wear those all the time as well.
Awww, thank you!
@Hoggirl , I get compliments on the black coated jeans every time I wear them. Plus, I feel so skinny in them!
What are your thoughts on the “balloon-“ or “bishop-“ sleeved sweaters that are out there? I am not a fan. I don’t like flowy/billowy with a knit - especially a sweater knit. And, especially since so many sweaters are such a fine-gauge (in other words, thin) these days. Example:

When did we live through this style before? 70’s??
I’m not sure about the sweater you posted @Hoggirl.
I did buy this sweater https://www.target.com/p/women-s-leopard-print-crewneck-pullover-sweater-who-what-wear/-/A-76524565?preselect=54590075#lnk=sametab
I don’t know if you can see it, but the sleeves are bigger and cinch in at the wrist. It’s cute, it was cheap. I thought it would be fun to wear something very trendy for not very much.
Not a fan of “bishop sleeves.”
Ditto, not a fan of bishop sleeves – a.k.a. leg o’ mutton sleeves?
@deb922 - That is pretty cute. More slouchy-like. And, I agree for keeping costs low for uber-trendy pieces.
I had a Gunne Sax dress that had the bishop/leg o’ mutton sleeve. I’m sure it was fabulous at the time! Ha ha! But, it wasn’t a sweater knit.
I’m getting a bit of mid-70s vibe from the bishop sleeve.
Where is my cowl pin?!
I want to get to Old Navy & try those leggings!
Those sleeves would wind up in my food!
Yeah, I look at that photo and start sweating because I just want to push up those sleeves - yikes I can’t do anything that long and fitted!
Sorry- Not a fan of that wonky sweater/bishops sleeve thing. The sleeves look like pipettes.
I feel validated since none of the rest of you are fans. 
I dislike the sleeves that fan out like bells at your wrists more, but they look dumb to me.
By the way - thank you to whoever recommended the jeans jacket from Eddie Bauer. I love it!
I don’t have any cashmere sweaters, but if did it would be in a classic style (not fad-like bishop sleeves).
Lol are we all feeling the love for those sleeves? ?
Probably not as bad as bell sleeves! Those are destined to be food-scoopers! I think I aready mentioned that folk tale about a frog princess…
Here is a famous painting depicting the princess dancing and waiving her long sleeves where she strategically stuffed some bones after the feast… the bones went flying in the air and turned into swans as she waived her arms. I don’t think I will be able to repeat the swans, but I guarantee that if I went dancing in a bell-sleeved dress after having a dinner, something would be flying out of those sleeves… sorry, not swans. More like food scooped in them on accident. ?
I like a slight bell sleeve, but only in a 3/4 length.
@BunsenBurner thanks for that, I’m now checking my sweaters for bones / swans!
I don’t like Bishop sleeves. @deb922 , I love your sweater and don’t think it looks like a Bishop sleeve to me. I did like the bell sleeve (not too exaggerated), but knew it would last one season, which it pretty much did. I ended up buying one that was really cute great length at, of all places, CVS! $15. I wore it quite a bit.
