So, have various tea companies been making fancy chocolate-flavored teas, and I just didn't know? Because in addition to Tea Vitale's chocolate teas (clicky-link!) (and oooh, I really should try some of their drinking chocolate mixes), Mighty Leaf has a chocolate truffle tea collection. (clicky-link!) The Mighty Leaf Pear Caramel Truffle black tea is fantastic, and I'm about to try the decaf Masala Chocolate Truffle tea as my post-lunch beverage.
Last night, I stomped into![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
stroppy_baggage's studio and (mostly faux) mournfully informed him that I didn't know what I wanted to wear to work the next day*, and was cranky about it. He said**, "That's easy. You're going to wear something red and black."
"But I was thinking maybe black and white, or black and pink."
"No! Red and black! Do not arguuuuue!" (For the record, said in very Invader Zim -like tones.)
So.
I think tomorrow's outfit is going to involve (among other items) a b&w stripy skirt, and possibly the white faux-fur collar. See, this is part of the reason why I prefer fall and winter to spring and summer. I love love love faux-fur accessories (and tights, and cute little wool jackets, and other things that require cooler weather).
*Yes, I figure out the next day's outfit during the night before. Usually while I'm waiting to fall asleep, but last night I was doing some re-organizing of the Wardrobe O' Jackets.
**Yesstroppy_baggage, I'm paraphrasing you. I don't remember if this is exactly what you said, but it's close.

So.
- Black low-heeled granny boots, laced with black ribbon.
- Black wool tights.
- knee-length black and red skull brocade circle skirt (made by requieminblack, worn over a black knee-length petticoat.
- Black high-collared blouse with ruffles.
- Waist-length black Mandarin-collar jacket.
- Black faux-fur collar with black silk brocade ties, worn around the collar of the jacket.
- Hair pulled back into a high ponytail with black lace-festooned hair ties, with a feather-decorated black mini top hat secured to the crown of my head.
- Jewelry: the usual giant silver rings, my usual antique mini pocket watch necklace, and a silver and red bat brooch at the collar of the blouse.
- My glasses, because I was too sleepy for contact lenses this morning.
- Makeup: YSL Touch Eclat, Aromaleigh eyeshadow in "angelwing" (a shimmery pink-ish white) and "Flirt a Little" (brownish-burgundy), with black liquid liner on the top lid, DiorShow mascara, translucent powder, and NARS "Chandernagor" lipstick.
