Monday Funday

Wow, by the looks of this picture, I am way too happy for a Monday.  How was everyone's weekend?  I got to see a lot of friends with Halloween festivities and all (some of which included seeing a Clash cover band - very cool!) and learned a lot of cool stuff about Chicago at yesterday's tour of Graceland Cemetery.  Tonight I'm headed to dinner with fella, his parents and his visiting cousin from Colorado (Rad, we're headed to Silver Cloud, so I'll be sure to have a s'more for you) and I've already changed into this ensemble.  I pretty much never go out on Monday nights, so I'm pretty excited to get out and do something fun so early in the week.  Anyway, above is what I wore today.

You've seen these pants before (and this sweater, this brooch and so forth), but it wasn't until today that I thought to pair them with heels instead of flats.  Totally by coincidence too, since I didn't read Sal's post about flats, which points out that flats + wide leg pants makes for shorter looking legs.  But I did like the look better with heels.

I know Sal's post mentions it, and I think these pictures prove it, but can shoes really make the outfit?

I know it looks like Jude is photo-crashing here, but he's actually looking in the mirror.  He is that vain.

Here's one of the many shots I took at Graceland yesterday.  It's hard to believe such a gorgeous place exists in the middle of the city!
