Spring Boots

I have big plans for these boots that I just bought on super sale at Stevemadden.com.

They are going to be my spring boots. Yeah, spring boots for the spring! These will be worn with little dresses, bare legs, and cuffed socks, so expect to see me try this out whenever the winter decided to let up. (If that EVER happens.)

  

 I can't wait to debut these in a full outfit! They are smashing all on their own and paired correctly they will be even better.

Are you excited to debut any new items for spring?

Working Girl

So you got it from the title, I wore this little ensemble to work. And oddly nothing makes you more aware of just how "little" your ensemble is than going to work in it.

Blouse from Gap, vintage belt, skirt from Gap, tights from Target, booties from Vince Camuto.

I've always embraced short hemlines (what else is a short girl to do?), but admittedly this is pretty short. I'm certainly more aware of mini-length skirts and dresses now. Especially when I'm bending over a copy machine and running around the office. It's definitely something to watch out for in the future, but overall I still think this outfit is pretty cute.

But I'll be honest, I only wore it because I have been dying to wear my new wedge booties. They are so versatile, that I think they would look great with just about anything. (I intend to test out this theory, too. Pajamas and wedge booties, jeggings with wedge booties, dresses with wedge booties, sweatpants with wedge booties... The list goes on and on!)

 Luckily, because I'm indoors almost all day, I can pretty much wear what I like. That doesn't mean wearing what I like is always the smartest idea. I still carry flats in my bag and run (while cursing the cold) all the way from my transportation to my office building.

What can I say? It's part of my very glamorous life as an intern!

Indecision

I'm indecisive. Not really when it comes to clothes. That must be the reason I love fashion so much. I get it. I can make quick decisions because I know what I like. And when I don't have the answers, my mom usually has a pretty reliable opinion.

This time I'm asking my readers: which way looks best?

I'll explain: I picked up this shirt from Walmart (can you believe it?) for $5 (can you believe that?). I'm not calling it "chambray." It's denim. Plain and simple. I paired with an American Eagle tweed skirt, a HandM embellished t-shirt, and Steve Madden booties.

I styled it three ways: with a scarf (it's vintage), on it's own, and tied around my waist. I'm submitting this photo to the Teen Vogue Chictopia contest (for fun!) and I'd like to know which way looks best.

I like all three pretty well, but what do you think?

Blue Suede Shoes

Look what came in the mail today!

I've wanted this particular pair of shoes for quite some time. I was sort of waiting for them to go on sale or hunting for something similar. I just couldn't commit--until, that is, the original color I wanted (black) sold out online. I just knew I had to snag a pair (in blue)! Chalk it up to fate or destiny, whatever you like. They're mine now!

They photograph well, too, don't they? I can't wait to sport these. Unfortunately, I am sick as a dog, so these beauties will stay nestled in their box until I get back on my feet and back into my footwear!

Hope all is well with you!
