Ensemble du Jour

The Outfit
More dresses! I wore my black Gap dress and dark grey cardigan again, but instead of wearing my tea cup heels I decided to pair them with some other red heels.



The Focal Point
Red and copper and crystals... I picked the shoes first, but I wanted to wear this necklace to link the colors together. The garnet crystals sort of mimic the crystals in the decorative buckle on the shoes.



The shoes are called April and are by Paolo. I bought them a while back in Nordstroms. I think they were actually my first pair of wedge heels, which shoes how late to the game I am.







I wasn't a huge fan of the wedge heel at that time and I still don't have many but this one is more subtle and girly and almost stiletto-esque. Plus I love the faux red metallic lizard material and the big crystal-encrusted buckle on the toe strap.





They're comfortable to wear so they would be great for going out in. They're certainly flashy enough!

Ensemble du Jour

The Outfit
I got to wear my new jeans from the Gap today. It's still kind of warm so I wore a mouse-grey polo shirt from Target. I really like these jeans. They are a new style for me. I've always worn Gap jeans. I liked the fit and they weren't too expensive. And since I don't wear jeans all that much I don't have to get them that often. I used to wear the low rise boot cut jean, but when I went to go get another pair, I tried on the exact style and size as I have bought before. But they did not fit right at all and were 4 inches too long!

The Long and Lean style were a recommendation and I'm glad I tried them. They have sort of a boot cut but they fit well. The wash is pretty neutral. Plus they were on a major sale! I know I'll be wearing them all Fall and Winter. I'm just glad I didn't have to try on a million pairs.



The Focal Point
While it was really about wearing my new jeans today, I had to accessories with a pair of shoes that I bought for pairing with jeans in mind. The Paolo glitter peep-toe heels are edged in tan leather (pulling out the brown tone in the mouse-grey shirt) and the glitter is the perfect denim blue.

I love them!



I took this photo with my iPhone. It came out pretty well I think. I've been swiping a lot of my outfit images from the web and using Polyvore to try and build an example image, but if it isn't recent I can't get an image to share. My phone pics look pretty good, so I can add even more images!

Yeah phone pics!
