    Oh yes! I remember my first pair of penny loafers. I rushed home to show my grandmother, who promptly pulled out two shiny new pennies to put in them. Thanks for helping me to remember.

    Hi J
    you look adorable, as usual. I don't own loafers but I think some of those Tods loafers are pretty cute and if I had to loafer it up, I'd get my paws on some of them. My perfect accessory isn't clothing, I think it's my rolex watch. It's not solid gold and it hasn't got diamonds but I love it anyway and you would not believe the whinging and begging I had to action to finally get my mitts on it. xxxx

    I'll have to think about my favorite accessory; but, I agree. This could be fun! BTW, looking at you in your loafers, sans socks, I am so jealous. My bare piggies barely see the light of day this time of year. Come on, spring!

    Blighty is Tiny,very pretty, terribly smart, has gorgeous STRAIGHT hair,and could wear anuthing.
    Do NOT believe anything she says about Sucking In, or other rubbish, she's a total cutey.
    She looks about 25.

    Classic loafers...where are the pennies?
    I had pennies in mine when I was ins chool but now my loafers are penny-less!

    I cannot choose just one favourite...that's why I cannot do the 30 day challenge either.

    You do look magnificant Janet...

    Janet... I'm going to have to say, my pearl earrings that were given to me by my mother are my perfect accessory. Classic & timeless! Grace Kelly is my ultimate icon, hero, obsession & love! You look beautiful in your post! Perfect from head to toe black... :)

    They look fab on you the loafers..well the whole outfit does...sadly they remind me of my convent school days too much so no longer care for the style..prefer my Chanel flats.

    I love your small home my dream to down size to one just like it. Ida

    I second your perfect accessory being a black loafer, they go with everything and are seasonless. That and my birkin bag are my two must haves.....that I always feel confident wtih and they never ever get old!

    Hello Dear Janet:

    I will post my favorite accessory, perhaps tomorrow. It is not my whitish/grey hair, thank you very much! :).

    Your photos make me think that I should really move west. How I miss the sun and warmth. I too love a black flat...and pearls...

    Oh Janet...you look fabulous as always!! I love the black penny loafers and the entire look. I must get a pair next fall...I only wear flats so how could I not own a pair of these?

    As to my favorite accessory...I'm with Faux Fuchsia, only I don't actually have a Rolex watch. For quite sometime i have wanted a very simple, classic mid-century man's Rolex. Nothing fancy. Maybe I need to ramp up the whining a bit?
    One of these days...

    Happy Valentine's Day!!

    Black flats are the best!

    I got some great ones at the Elie Tahari outlet in Vegas.

    My fav accessory is my two tone diamond Rolex.

    I bought it almost 10 years ago for my 21st birthday and it brings a smile to my face everyday :)

    Saw you mentioned over at Vermont Cottage and thought I'd stop by and say hello! I love your look, so classic! I have a blog, but I'll mail you a copy of my favorite accessory, simple sterling silver and pearl earrings by Waterford.

    If you have time stop by for some dessert, it's decadent!

    I've enjoyed my visit today!

    That ended up being quite a thought provoking question for me! Thanks for the fun!
