Studs and Fleurs

7.2.2010 ~ Friday

These shoes are so nuts!  People think they are crazy.  They are very tall, and the balance is not that good so I might have the heels lowered.  I’m wearing the microruffles dress again which I think might be reaching MVP status.  Dressed up, dressed down… it’s versatile and more importantly light in the 95+ temperatures in the past week!  It remains in the high 80s every after dark these days so there’s no escaping the heat.  

I’ve been meaning to experiment with some nighttime photography so I’m glad I didn’t have time for photos before I left for dinner with my friends.  I think these were taken at about 11:30pm, a little later than I intended to take test shots.  They turned out surprisingly clear though!  One thing I did learn is that the camera cannot be too far away and definitely not as far as during the day!  The photos came out much clearer when the camera (and flash) were significantly closer to me than usual!

The Embellished Tee Goes to the Market

by

7.1.2010 ~ Thursday ~ Hello July

Ann Taylor Loft is having a really good sale right now — I got this shirt at the 40% off everything sale and currently sale items are 50% off!  I almost never wear tees like this but I like the beading.  Maybe I’ll go back and look for more embellished shirts! 

I wore this to the farmers market and then to do errands about town.  This is a not too fashiony look and really just summer comfortable.  Temperatures are out. of. control. here, and I can’t be flouncing about in cardigans and terrycloth (a bit heavy) all the time!  Sometimes I think it’s good to be practical even if it’s not the most styled look you’ve ever worn!

Casual Blues

Denim?  Neverrrrrrr!  Okay, well I do sometimes wear denim, though by now you probably know I don’t have a particular fondness for pants.  They’re just not terribly flattering on me :P  

This is my attempt at boyfriend, except these are slouchy skinny jeans.  I think they’re supposed to look like this on regular-sized people but I’m a petite so they look more like boyfriend.  So imagine what boyfriend jeans look like on me — not too good.  I can’t wear boyfriend shorts either.  I love them… on other people!  I don’t always always follow style rules though!  I just bought that pink Aidan Mattox floor length gown, a length that is generally the cardinal sin of petite dressing.  I’m wearing it to a black tie optional gala at which all the men wear tuxedos anyway (I saw last year’s photos), and an outdoor wedding later in June so I feel like it was a good choice!
