4.1.09


(ignore my chipping nail polish...)
Nothing special today, but these shoes came in the mail so I thought I'd show them off. They're light as a feather and feel just like walking in flats, so thumbs up for comfort.

I also decided to pull out my Pleasure Principle dress which some of you may remember from several months ago. I love the square shape it creates in the back when worn this way. I'm craving lots of new things for summer, but I have to remind myself to go slowly. I want to have an efficient wardrobe without waste so it's time to revisit some pieces that don't get enough wear.

ps. Apologies for being so behind on e-mails. I promise I'm working on it!

I love those shoes paired with that dress (which I wish was in my closet). Love this outfit and the last all white one!

Insane dress. I think it's cool that you check out what you have in your closet before buying new stuff. Smart.

In these tough economic times, I'm glad you've adopted a wardrobe sans waste. I definitely need to do a lot of editing... and going forward, it will only be long-term versatile pieces for me! (maybe the occasional splurge).

The shoes do look super comfy and still give you plenty of height! The dress looks awesome and the cape look at the back is cute!

Alyssa said...

I've always been trying to figure out how that dress looks like when it's not draped in different ways. Do you think that you can perhaps show us the dress when it's not draped sometime?

sweetpoop said...

Ahhh!! They looked sorta iffy on the site to me, but they look so good in real life.

Anonymous said...

i love that you have not only a style sense, but sense in general.

that instead of blindly consuming on, you stop and remember some of the great things that you already have.

i find it crazy that only one other person commented on this. no wonder we are going to hell in a handbasket.

there can be style without excess.

R said...

i really love your blog because your style is so simple and classy. keep it up

brittanyalexis said...
