Ensemble du Jour

The Outfit
After a busy week and those killer heels yesterday (in more ways than one), I'm going for simple and comfortable today. I'm wearing a simple green v-neck from Gap with my denim skirt. Flats are definitly in order today, so I pulled out my American Eagle green tie ballet flats.



I also went lazy on the accessories - just a simple but big moonstone ring and a green headband (which I'm not even wearing right now).



Over lunch I walked my shoes to my shoe repair guy. It was so nice out and these flats were very comfy. It wasn't a long walk, maybe 5 blocks each way, but it was good to get out and enjoy the weather. Except now my hair is all wind-blown!

Ensemble du Jour

The Outfit
I know dresses are very big but I tend to prefer the flexibility and mix-and-match capabilities of skirts and tops. But I'm trying to branch out so I bought a few solid knit and sweater dresses for this winter to pair with my new heels and tights/socks.

Yesterday I wore a new boatneck knit black dress from Old Navy and paired it with some chunky grey tights and my new Miu Miu Spazzolato spectator heels.



I felt very "Art Dowager" because I had my hair pulled back in a bun and had pared down my jewelry to some chunky statement pieces - my free-form acrylic bracelet and a big moonstone and silver ring.



The Focal Point
The dress was very comfy, although the front pockets were bugging me a little. The shoes, even though they are neutral, stole the shoe with their height, the "plastic" heel (the whole tan part is one piece) and the grey "wings".



These shoe are actually comfortable - for the office. Unfortunately I had a class and, unexpectedly, we had to go on this huge walking tour for almost 2 hours outside. I was a little ticked off by the end of that.

So, just a note: don't go on any hikes in these.
