Favorite look of the day: fabulous red shoes take a cute outfit from chic and comfy to fabulous! I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to recreate this. Possibly tomorrow.
Ever feel like you need to try really really hard to feel fabulous? I've been stepping it up a notch this week, actually wearing heels to work (shocking, I know). I have to admit to being quite lax in my style when winter rolls around for its 8-10 month visit. It's time for fabulous coats and scarves, beautiful sweaters, and pretty layers. As you may imagine, there are a few things about the Northwest that make wearing heels a bit tricky in winter:
- It rains a lot
- Our driveway is on the other side of the garden
- It is cold
- It rains a lot
This winter has actually been drier than normal, which is fantastic and allows for more freedom of footwear. When we first moved to Seattle, I realized my collection of shoes was almost exclusively cloth or sandal of some sort. No rugged rain-proof shoes, no snow boots, nothing that could withstand water. That has changed, and now it's a battle to try and wear the pretty ones I so delight prancing around in.
My February resolution: Wear as many pretty shoes as possible (and bright red lipstick at least once).
I'd like to add that I do have loftier goals in my life, but sometimes it's the little ones that make the bigger ones possible. It's hard with all the busy that takes up our time, to take a moment for silly things that do nothing more than bring us brief, happy moments. I like to look down and see bright red shoes on my feet. I also like to recycle and replace the tops of neighbors' trash cans that have blown off in the wind.
