In fact, they are such old staples that I found a hole in the armpit of the shirt, of course after I'd already gotten to work. (In central Texas you can go just about anywhere in a shirt with pearl snaps.) Why I've never paired it with this dress before today is a mystery to me. (The bf would remind me that blue and orange are complimentary colors and will always work together.) Perhaps it's the boots, a recent acquisition, that pulls it all together for me...
Originally they had red and brown laces in them (you can sort of see the holes,) but I liked them much more after I took them out...especially since they were only about $20 on super sale! Hmmm...is it true that the shoes make the outfit?
