From day to night

I bought this dress from Victoria Secret about a year ago, and only wore it casually at first. This summer, however, I decided to go a little bolder than usually and decided to dress it up a bit for this party that we were invited to. The result was quite unexpected: as it turns out, this dress is very versatile, and with a few extra accessories, can be transformed from day to evening wear with no extra problem at all.

I suddenly realized that our coati, being a very cute animal and a shoe addict like myself, hasn't got enough coverage in my blog so far. She turned the lights off when I was working on my computer today so I took it as a hint.

...and your favourite wedges. I mean, my favourite wedges, of course, slightly torn by the coati but still holding up pretty good. For about three years in a row! The only problem with them is that their level of comfortness changes all the time, from your-good-'ol-slippers to gee-I-should've-opted-for-something-comfier. I'm not sure how it happens but it's a mystery allright.

Vintage-like

This outfit consists of stuff that can in all honesty be considered vintage. Well, maybe almost vintage, but give it a few more years... Well, let's not look that far into the future. Where was I? Ah, the almost vintage, right. This dress was bought about five (gee..) years ago, and so were the sandals. And so were the purse and the scarf. I'm really surprised none of it was lost during our numerous moves around two different states.

Unlisted, literally

As I wrote a few days ago, the renovations in our apartments have officially commenced, and it's already a pain. The only good thing about them - f you don't count some potential improvements at some point in time - *heavy sigh* is the fact that in the process of emptying closets, storage boxes etc you suddenly find a lot of things that you totally forgot about. And since you haven't seen them in a while, they almost count as something new.
My most recent find are these plaid wedges from Unlisted. I bought them a few years ago but never wore - until now, and they're surprisingly comfortable and go together with many things in my wardrobe.

What might befall on those shoes if left unattended...

Yesterdady, I made a mistake of not putting my shoes away right after I got home (something that you really have to do in our abode) and this morning, they caught the attention of our shoe-loving animal. The little bugger waited till I got into the shower and chewed off one of the bows on the front. Actually, being a generous animal, she only chewed off half, leaving the turquoise half for me to experiment with. Turning the shoe that had just received a make-over in my hands, I had but two choices: a) freak out (useless) b) pretend that half a bow is actualy not such a bad thing to have (well, it's definitely better than having none at all). *trying to convince myself* Besides, there's nothing wrong with a little modern twist on a good ol' shoe, right? Right?
Anyhoo, today I opted for something sturdy and not-that-easily-destructable. As you can see, there isn't much to tear off or munch on, for that matter.

Bordeaux (and cianti)

My yesterday's take on business casual. I just found this jacket and had to incorporate it into an outfit, the Victoria Secret sheath dress and the rest of the paraphernalia came in handy as well. The shoes are on the waiting list for a place in the closet and thus camping in the hall; due to this reason, in the past couple of weeks, I have been wearing them more often than in the past three years put together. Strangely, the coati  who loves shoes just as much as I do (tearing the soles off them every time she gets a chance) has been ignoring them so far. Are they... not cute?!

Rainy Sunday

It's rather gloomy out there today, one of those days when you have to keep drinking coffee all day long just to stay barely awake.

Wearing Stewart Weitzman boots (denim + studs + cowboy look + the whole shebang); I bought these at Bluefly a couple years ago but so far, have rarely got a chance to wear. I still can't figure them out! But I have to admit, they are extremely comfortable.
