all about the shoes.

merona cardigan {thrifted target stock}   ·   merona skirt
fergalicious irene pumps

 

happy monday!  i feel like i have been dressing really casually to work lately (last friday i actually wore running shoes, which is just so different for me!) so it felt good to pull on a pencil skirt and heels... even if it led to a number of looks and comments throughout the day.  is seeing a woman in a pair of high heels really gawk-worthy?  i guess it is at my workplace!  i really like these fun pumps though, DSW always hits it out of the park for me and i consistently find unique and interesting shoes there.  this cardigan hasn't been worn in who knows how long, either, but i felt it was a good complement to the neutral shade of the shoes.  now, if only my hair would grow out a little and cooperate... i miss my longer locks!

 

thanks for visiting!

merona cardigan & cherokee button-down {both thrifted target stock}

old navy slacks & scarf   ·   merona emma cap-toe flats

today's outfit was inspired by jordan at opal & violet.  i loved the look she created with skinny pants, a mint cardigan, and a beautiful coordinating lightweight scarf.  my scarf options are limited, so i pulled this one out again and matched the dark purple/magenta and coral colors in the scarf to my cardigan and flats.

i'm really pleased with these flats, by the way!  they are true to size and quite comfortable, and the leather is really soft.  they also don't appear as "scrunched" as they do in the photo, i could easily slip them on and off without having to pull them up and over my heel.  they did start to rub against the back of my ankles after an 8+ hour day, but that's no big deal.  i'm really glad that i ended up getting two pairs during target's recent bogo 50% off shoe deal.  i am also so happy to be wearing shoes without socks/tights!
