outfit and shoes below but I'm def about due for a thrift store rework.  Lets hope and pray i do not find any more clothes to buy tomorrow.  This is purging season!(which is when people give away the best stuff.)  Antieway, the outfit below was put together during a try-on episode I was having after work this week. I really have to strike a balance between appropriate and comfortable for work while adding a dash of ME in there somewhere. I can wear jeans, so this is not a conventional professional outfit:

159
160

And these are in my top 5 favorite sandals:
163
Too versatile .
162
164
tank: Gap
Sweater: Forever 21
Sandals: Boutique 9
 Earrings: Old Navy
 Jeans: Old Navy (again)

Going thrift furniture shopping tomorrow making this two days in a row.  Bought this sturdy and wood end table today and will attempt to go back for the second one.  Hopefully its still there.  15$ a pop, and both are REALLY scratched up but I def. think I can turn it out. I don't think I will paint this though, I want it to be natural looking. We'll see with all the nooks and crannies on these. Definitely feel inspired to get my artsy fartsy on with these gorgeous yet scratched pieces.  Looks like they got side swiped by a Hyundai going at LEAST 3 miles an hour. Anyway, might be a while before I can give it/them a nod.

outfit migration

Again, in an effort to turn my outfit into something exciting, I took absolutely too long to get ready.  But in the process, I was able to figure out 2 ways to wear a blouse that I've had in my closet for at least 2 years. *HIGH FIVE*

Work outfit worn today, discovered while taking absolutely too long to get ready on Saturday. The wack rain interfered with my platform wedge action for today. Regular winter boot heels were done:

What was worn on Sattiday. More rain, therefore go I with some rainboots:

One corner of this room down, a whole lot more to go:

my sandal surfing journey today

Went shoe surfing on the interwebs today and came across these senoritas bonitas. And I really have to curb my  fascination with sad love songs of the reggae and r&b kind. Those two genres really have the best love songs though.
Enjoy!:

Go BULLS!

And I really mean that from the bottoms of both my shoe loving and Bulls loving  hearts......The title of this post has very little to do with the content besides the colors I'm wearing though. I just had to say HOO!-RAH! Chicago!
This post is really about Vision vs. Final Decision
-You ever had a vision for an outfit? Pick it out in your head? Follow through and THEN look in the mirror? Then proceed to leave the house in an outfit totally different from the VISION?
Well, I go through this everyday.  Exhibit 1....Dressing for my buddy's B-day party:

In my head this outfit worked! In real life, I got razor blade happy and required undershorts that I didn't have access to at the time.  Fixing the technical difficulties of these pants is a MUST because they are in my top 2 fav fitting jeans. These are jeans that I bought at Old navy a size larger for a $1. Well, I was able to resize them with my sewing machine and make them fit.  I just got razor blade happy in the wrong places. Also, I wasn't totally in agreement with how the shoes looked in this fit. So, scrapped. It worked in my head though......

This is a pic of what I was wearing no. matter. what! The essentials.....the heels, the earrings, the top.

Bracelet combo - This is a pic of a chainlink bracelet that I bought from Lori's shoes  that I tangled with a necklace that I purchased from H&M.  One of my favorite bracelets now.
