vintage silhouette: April 2010

Wednesday, April 28, 2010

My outfit today does not seem to care how it looks in pictures. Trust that it looks good in person.

eat your heart out Seattle

Things like this are the reason that I say Syracuse could give Seattle a run for it's money.

Seriously, an entire week of clouds and rain? Yayyyy ... (can you taste the sarcasm?)

Okay. So, I get the point of "fun" shoes, and the fact that most people have a work shoe wardrobe and a "play" shoe wardrobe. But seriously. When would a "normal" person (defined as someone who doesn't wear a lot of couture looks) ever need something like this:

In case any of you crazies are actually interested, here's the source info ...
Michael Antonio Karina Platform Bootie, $39.94 (There's probably a good reason they're on clearance.)

Get it? Because my shirt looks like a pair of jeans.

WANT (and actually got this time)

I got a pretty, chiffon, light-pink dress to wear this spring. The only thing is, I felt like I didn't really have any shoes to wear with it. (Isn't that how these things usually go?)

So I went to 6pm and poked around for some new heels. (Would like to note that I am totally a recent pump/heel convert. I use to only buy flats because I didn't think I could toddle around securely in tall shoes. I then discovered that if I stuck to less than 3 inches, I was just fine. I suppose having to wear more adult clothes to the office really pushed me to try new things.)

And then I found these:

Volatile "Kathy", $37.50
The pale green screamed "quirky", but I can see these going with so many other colors in my closet aside from the pink. So, in the cart they went.

After some more poking around, I decided that a cream snake print would go PERFECTLY with a pastel pink. It would toughen up the look a bit, which is something I always try to do when I wear pale colors. So, I got these as well:

Chinese Laundry Kasha Python, $48.30

Mostly I just posted this for a reason to look at the platforms again. Tee hee.

Just so you all know, repairing a ripped hem in chiffon fabric is a pain in the ass. Managed to tear my new dress all within half an hour of putting it on. Argh.
