Winter can be a long season especially for us who live in Colorado. So, I was ready for a winter break and we decided to take a long weekend and visit Scottsdale. We have not been there in years! We had a dual purpose...the Barrett-Jackson Car Auction and the Scottsdale Art Auction featuring over 400 works of art by the Leanin' Tree Museum collection. We had great fun. The Barrett-Jackson Auction was an unbelievable event that takes place over multiple days. Overwhelming! However, a must see for car buffs and aficionados.

This was one of the looks for our gallery hopping and attending the art auction. The floral top is by @Talbots and I love the lively colors especially in January when things can look a bit dreary, right? The suit is one I picked up @New York & CO. It is so comfortable, stylish and I felt very pulled together! The color was also a factor in my buying it.

The suit is soft and the jacket is NOT structured, so movement is key! The slacks are wide leg and come in a number of colors as does the jacket. I wore my go-to pearl necklaces, they seem to be the most often seen item in this blog! You can't go wrong with pearls. These shoes are so adorable and were actually comfortable to walk around during the Scottsdale Art Auction. I bought these at DSW, you've heard of them, right??? Ha! I must mention two terrific restaurants we loved. You must try The House Brasserie for new American cuisine in a very quaint older home in old Scottsdale. Within walking distance to everything. Also fine Italian and home made pasta can be found at Marcellino. Fantastic food, ambiance and live music that won't compete with your conversation.

Here are a few photos of the amazing Barrett-Jackson. It was very high energy and the cars were beautiful as you can see by the look of this Studebaker! Next time I'll bring my wallet!
