I just wanted to show you my outfit from Monday when I had to go into the office.

All J Crew
Jackie in Pearl (2010)
Tulip Ruffle Cami in Pearl
Bellflower Tweed Pencil Skirt
Factory 4-strand Pearls
Christian Louboutin Simple 70 Pumps in Navy

A true navy shoe…I’m in love.
I removed the belt from the cami since I was wearing a cardigan over it. I should have belted over both of them but I didn’t have a skinny navy belt and I didn’t want to do a skinny brown leather so I left it alone.

Also, here’s an IRL shot of my new Gold TOMS wedges.

You’ll see them soon in an Que Bella post.

Have a great day!

I’m off to the Spurs game tonight with Husband. But I have nothing to wear! I know you are all saying “IMPOSSIBLE!” but it’s true.

I do not have any Spurs gear at all. I have my suspicions that The Boy helped himself to my Ginobili tee because it’s nowhere to be found. So I’m having to make do with what I have.

White J Crew Factory Jackie
Gray J Crew Factory Tank
Black Glitter TOMS
Gap Pegged Boyfriend Jeans (R.I.P. my favorite distressed boyfriend jeans)
I’m hoping Husband takes pity on me and buys me a new t-shirt at the game.
Have a great day!

I love going to our neighborhood Ladies Luncheon’s. I don’t get to go every month but I made it a point to go today because I hadn’t been since the fabulous Christmas luncheon.

I wore pants today, and old ones too. These are from at least J Crew 2007. Anyone remember these? I have the same pair in a beautiful green. These fit perfectly everywhere, except the length. The sizing is a 6S, meaning S is for Short. Probably short for a person who is 6 foot but not for someone who is 5’2”. AND, I’ve never taken them to get hemmed. It’s about time I did that because I really like these pants.

Pants: J Crew Favorite Fit in White, 6S
Cami: J Crew Tulip Ruffle Cami in Dragonfly Blue, 8
Jacket: Old Navy Cropped Denim Jacket in White, M
Shoes: Vince Camuto Estera, 6 1/2 (not online anywhere yet…more info below)
The pants are so long they cover the entire shoe!

About the shoes…I found these Tuesday at Nordstrom’s. One of my other need/want items was a pair of Leopard sandals, preferably an espadrille or wedge. I saw some CL Carino Leopard Espadrilles on ebay but his espadrilles do not fit me well, probably because they are whole sizes only. So, these Vince Camuto’s just came in Monday evening and I was smitten when I saw them. I walked around the mall for a bit but kept thinking back to those lovely shoes. Since I parked by Nordstrom’s I knew I would have to walk back by them so when I did, I tried them on. The sales associate also brought out my new Black Glitter TOMS and I’m so glad she did.

Anyway, they are a sky-high, sling-back, wedge, espadrille-ish, peep-toe LEOPARD sandal. What more could a girl ask for?

These leopards are sky-high. 
1 1/2 in. platform
4 3/4 in. heel
Size 6 1/2 (The 7s were loose on me at the front of the shoe.)
Price $117.95
Similar in style to the Edon.
It does have a skinny heel, for those of you who have problems walking in that type of shoe. I wore these for about three hours today without any problems. I stumbled only once but I do that in flats. I have to say they are pretty comfortable and even though they were high, I didn’t have any altitude sickness (haha) or issues with walking in them or it affecting my stride. You know you’ve seen those ladies walking in sky-high heels taking baby steps so they don’t tip over. They came in a light gray leather and one other color. Not sure when they’ll be online at Nordstrom’s or the Vince Camuto site. 
Have a great evening!

I’ve bought a few maxi dresses over the years. Whenever I see maxi dresses or hear they are back “in trend” I think I’m too short for them. But then I remember I already have 3 and love them barefoot around the house, with leather flip-flops and of course, wedges and espadrilles.

I found a few recently at Forever 21. Actually, all the maxi dresses I have are from F21. I figure, why spend a whole lot of money on a trend, right? Anyway, I’ve had one for three years that is still in great shape. From F21! Love it!

Navy/Gray Tie-Dye Maxi Dress (not online yet), Medium, $24.80
Similar version in a short dress here: Knit Comfort Dress

Gaimo Espadrilles…found at Marshall’s last summer.

Embellished Antique Cuff and Diamond Feline Necklace (both from F21)

Here is another maxi I bought during my Forever 21 shopping trip.

One Shoulder Maxi Dress, Small, $22.80

I bought it in a teal color as well but that’s not online in the long version. The short version in the teal is here, Erica Ruffle Dress.

Don’t forget Gigi’s tips on “How to Shop at Forever 21“. It’s a lifesaver!
