tri-shoe-fecta

just in case anyone was wondering:

i brought three pairs of shoes to work with me today, in preparation for an event we're holding this evening, because the outfit for said event has yet to be finalized. and i like options.

and i have a lot of shoes.

a lot.

[also: in addition to the shoes, i only had to pack one dress, one belt and two sweater options. i love how the feel of an outfit can be determined solely [ha] by choice of footwear.]

big moves

my dear friend katie is moving to turkey on sunday.

in her honor, i'm wearing the shoes she bought me when non-date moved to florida [in perfect response to the shoes i bought her when ben initially moved back to turkey.]


these are my: "i'm sorry your boyfriend is moving to florida" shoes. love them. love her. can't believe she's leaving, but am excited to hear about her upcoming adventures with ben, with her new job, with her shopping excursions. the move to rejoin ben has been a long time coming, and i've no doubt that it will be every possible form of wonderful.

fat ankles and oprah

am wearing some, frankly, fantastic gold kenneth cole wedges today but all four pictures i took of them triggered the "photo = fat ankles" effect. so, use your imaginations.

also: letterman is on oprah today. i agree with my mother's assessment: she's trying to take over the world. she won over the movie people by un-masking tom cruise's CRAZY gene. she's clearly massaged the literary world into submission via james frey, cormac mccarthy, et al. and now she's gone after the funny people. she's a marksman -- an excellent one at that. AND she went on gma with minimal make-up this morning. i feel defeated. it's like finding out your boyfriend is gay all over again. only without the puppets.

TALD

As you can see, I'm still not ready to replace the fancy shoes as SOTD.
I am wearing the above silver flip-flops today, but that's not why this picture is important.
No, the reason for this picture is simple:
My feet are tan.

A decent majority of my body is tan, actually. And that NEVER happens.

Also: I recently became old. Maybe there's some sort of correlation there. Tan and Old. TALD?

pretty.

i thought about putting these as shoe of the day, but instead chose to highlight them as shoeological representation of my navy blue renaissance.

yes. i'm going through a navy blue renaissance.

dig it.

(also, you can't really tell in this photo, but the middle strap by the toe is patent leather. the shoe gods are weeping shiny, pretty tears.)
