Well, before I sorted through my patterns and discovered the false economiy of buying patterns in threes, I bought three of the new Vogues. I have made one of them up already though.
Vogue 1282 Donna Karan. I loved this pattern immediately, and got straight online to see if there was suitable fabric available before I even bought the pattern. In a hugely inspired fashion, I bought grey, same as the pattern envelope. I tell you, if I could have ordered the model's hairstyle, I would have done that too!
I'll put all the details in a pattern review, so pop on
over there to read about it.
I picked up the shoes in an op shop this week for $8. They are a deep olive green and will perfectly match a dress that I have fabric for and not made yet. They look never worn and were so comfortable that I forgot that I was actually looking for football boots for my boys.

I think you nailed the pieces perfectly, what a great look.
...And, I had to click on the link to see the model's hair. Wow! Talk about the perfect accessory!
Gorgeous outfit! I agree, you nailed it! Love this one.
Love your outfit, the front drape to the top is fantastic - has the top got some metallic threads to it or is my eyesight going? This was one of the patterns I picked up in the sale too - but it has turned cold in Melbourne so I might have to wait a while.
This is a gorgeous outfit. I love the drape on that top and it looks fab in your fabric.
I have been on a pattern diet and am strongly regretting it at the moment. What an awesome outfit and fabulous cowl.
What a stunning pattern - it looks fabulous on you!
Fantastic outfit and love that pattern! I ordered one in the BMV sale but it has yet to reach my eager mitts. What a score for the shoes too $8!!
Looks great. Would this pattern work in a knit?
Well aren't you looking uber chic. It's nice that you got to show us the whole outfit. The shoes sound like a great find. So do you have a date set to wear this?
Gorgeous outfit, why do I never find amazing shoes for $8?
It drapes so beautifully and the whole look has come together so well, you must be thrilled with your new round of patterns.
This outfit looks so special: I love your fabric choices and this particular cowl neck looks super classy! Will you have a Special night out? With cocktails. mood lighting, and elegant dancing?
I want that pattern! I want that top! But most of all, i want those shoes!!!!!!
the outfit looks fantastic, you've done a great job.
WOW! This is a fabulous outfit. Your fabric, especially the top is really great. This is going on my to do list!
