The Big Idea




Lately I've taken to the idea of oversize items. Not only limited to glasses, but handbags, belts and especially shoes. These days I've taken a particular liking to my oxford ankle boots that have a 6 inch wedge.......gasps. I think I'm in shoe heaven, not to be confused with purse euphoria, or jewelry bliss. This is in a class of its own. These shoes are incredibly sexy and chic. Not to forget the jewelry which has a lot of sentimental value to me. The bracelet and ring (on my necklace) was a gift from my parents and the eagle charm that I so proudly wear is a gift from my darling dad. I paired this with my pleated Rachel Pally pocket skirt, and an American Apparel tee. I finished it off with my vintage frames, ripped tights and candy red lipstick.

I'm so sad..they don't have your shoes any more :(

A la Femme said...

Thanks again you all are too kind. Yeah I agree about the American Apparel v tee. They do go with everything but most of AA's clothes are so easily dressed. I love them!!

The shoes were almost sold out when I got mine back in December on V.S. but Report Signature always make such amazing shoes, just check www.zappos.com.
