i used to be so excited to see a stripes-themed mission for this week. My thoughts was racing...what fortunate striped item will it be? My secure AT tee? The DIY ruffle get dressed? Or my classic AT sheath? Then I found out I best got tops and clothes from jcpenney (as a petite female buying in a normal-sized line, I suggested clear of the hardest-to-in shape garment: pants), and not anything coordinated with my striped things.

 

After much debate, I ended up choosing a draped navy sheath (comes with a tie belt) that fits me decently with some room to give. As for the stripes component...I'm making the belt count : )

those boots had been an eBay discover from numerous years ago. We understand older or antique garb runs small, however did you recognize the identical is going for shoes? I realize many ladies are not ok with pre-owned footwear, however there are a few on-line which might be unworn, or slightly worn in pristine situation. these $30 boots are leather-based, size 6, made in Italy, with a 13" calf circumference and a 14" shaft height. almost ideal. They hit smack at my knee bend, that's my puppy peeve, so I put on them cuffed.

i am nonetheless on the hunt for classic boots with the precise fit. Readers and fellow bloggers - please assist make your brief-legged buddy's boot goals come authentic through sharing any applicable finds this season. desired: thirteen" tall, 13" or less calf circumference boots with an almond toe, either flat using fashion or with a simple ~3.5" heel. Brown or black. i've heard stories of boot alterations both in shaft top as well as width, but i'm hesitant. I recognize they run very steep (perhaps $eighty+) with out a guarantee of fulfillment.

Sleeeepy! Snapped those early inside the morning, within the bloodless and rain (standard, Boston!).

If my make-up seems different here, it's because I spent the weekend with Khatu who trimmed my brows, liberally bronzed my face, added new mascara, and shared her mystery for glowing skin: drinking bottles and bottles of water in step with day.
