Urban Jungle

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.

Closet finds

Renovations are still going on, and I'm still diggin' out new old stuff or would-be-vintage things that due to my forgetfulness, have spent the past few years indoors (aka in the closet). But what a few years to a skirt, right? As long as it isn't falling apart, and because of lack of interraction with the coati, the things that I find are all in very good condition.Last weekend, my finds happened to be two skirts (both dating back to 2005) and a top (dating even earlier).

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.

Roaming around town

...in a very tight dress. Yes, this dress turned out to be just great for standing still, striking (not very challenging) poses or even making small moves but for running around Manhattan at my usual speed... khm... well, I'd say a pair of shorts would do much better. But I totally love the color - it's crushed tomato, it looks differently at the slightest change of light and it is definitely one of my favourite colors of all times. And oh, despite its tight silhouette, this dress can still be worn a la those long and serious dresses of the 19th century - by holding it at the side. It immediately turns from maxi into a somewhat midi but the mobility greatly improves.

4th of July

4th of July, tropically hot,  barbecue over at friends' house. With all the renovations going on, it is no surprise that the dress that I was originally planning to wear - white, navy and red plaid holter - got misplaced. And so did the matching shoes. On the other hand, because of the same renovaitons, every now and then, I manage to find stuff that I toally forgot about. Like, for example, this dress which I pulled out of the closet at the very last minute; my fiancee was already losing his patience so I guess, had my search for the outfit taken any longer, I wouldn't be writing this post today.

My order (first ever) from Forever 21 finally arrived, and I can honestly say, this site is sooo cool! I'm now their official fan; out of a few things that I ordered, there was nothing that I would want toreturn, and this skirt is one of my absolute favourites (and it was only $8!)
