This is Allison of Wardrobe Oxygen. How cute is she?
Last week, ChiLibrarian sent me a link to a Wardrobe Oxygen post, and told me, "You could totally rock this look." I, of course, do not have any heels that high, but I do have leopard FLATS, and all of the other pieces. My purse is navy, not that delightful royal blue.
Here are my Kenneth Cole Earrings, my way cool new nautilus shell ring, and the leopard flats. I really need to replace those by the end of this year.
The nautilus shell is filled in with red resin. In good light, it glows.
Many of those boxes on my kitchen counter represented an attempt to find a pair of comfortable, but not sneaker-ish, red flats. I ordered five different pairs, and here are the winners! Born Adele, courtesy of Amazon, about 25% off. They're very comfy, very cute without having bows or other whimsy, and being Born, will probably last another ten years.
Now, not ALL of the boxes had red shoes in them. There were some deals at 6PM that I could not resist, and they are being put through their paces indoors before I make any decisions.
Is this a reasonable practice, to order and return shoes in mass quantities? I find that if I ask a shoe salesperson to find me every pair of red flats in the store, I will feel guilty enough to buy one - even if I don't love them. Trying them on in my home makes the rejection process easier.
Wednesday's outfit was inspired by this fabulous Ephemera outfit. I belive I bought the skirt I am wearing minutes after seeing Sheila's post. eBay, 10 bucks. It's lone (minor) drawback is that it is lined with cotton, which drags a bit on tights. So, sshhh, I'm not wearing any.
Talbot's bordeaux corduroy jacket, Loft long sleeve tee, White House Black Market skirt via eBay, black Anne Klein boots. I have a fluffy chiffon polka dot brooch on.
I started with the Loft tee and noticed it was a perfect match for the jacket. I have the picture of Sheila up on my bedroom door (not that that's creepy or anything), so I pulled out the black and white skirt. I sorta wish my jacket had black frogs instead of boring old buttons.
