Dancing Shoes

This was not the outfit I put on yesterday. I had on different shoes, but since I had some time to kill, I stopped at Urban Xchange in downtown Tacoma for the first time in a few months, since I had some store credit to spend.

Once I got there, I found them. I found these beautiful sequin Sam Edelman Oxfords. I thought, "these can't fit me, they're too good to be true." I tried them on, and it's as if the clouds parted (granted it was quite sunny yesterday). They fit me. Like a glove. I was meant to find these shoes.

Style Reprise: Day N Nite

I've never done one of these before, and I thought that these teal jeans would be a perfect piece to spotlight. They were my first pair of BDG Cigarette Jeans, and the ones that got me hooked (I now own 3 more pairs in different colors). Urban Outfitters currently has a bunch of these on sale for $39 instead of $58, so jump on that.

Cardinal Rules

 
Today was a simple day. Simple clothes for a simple day. Granted, I was on my way to work and I changed my shirt before getting there, but it was so damn hot that I needed to rock a breezy tank top for the rest of the day. We keep the temp at work at 69 degrees, so I can wear whatever I want no matter the weather outside.

Electric Bloom

It was actually 9 o'clock when we took these pictures (granted my camera settings were far different than when it's 4 p.m), but you can see why I love this time of the year. It stays so light so late and it's wonderful!

Feel Good Inc.

This outfit literally has nothing to to with Gorillaz, but it's comfortable as hell. That's the theme for today's post - comfort. Now you may think, "Abby, those shoes are tall as SHIT. How can they be comfortable?" Well okay rhetorical person, let me tell you - in the larger scheme of shoes overall - no. But as far as tall shoes go, they're pretty damn comfortable. They are my new Sam Edelman Javis, and I love them. I'll definitely be rocking them with a ton of spring outfits (and spring is coming! It's supposed to be 68 and sunny this weekend!).

 
I got them from Ebay last week, but you can purchase them here. They were originally $160, and I got them for $60. Score! I am a bit obsessed with Ebay right now, can you tell?

Frankenstein Shoes

When I first bought these shoes on Black Friday, I'd been wanting a pair of stand out shoes for awhile, and like I said in my last post - I can't really do the whole Lita thing, because I would even more giant than I already am. But after a friend of mine from YouTube bought her Creepers, I fell in love with them. They reminded me of like 80s punk rock and sca bands. I don't know why. And now that I look at them in photos, they don't look as "mondo" as the title suggests. 

When I first put them on, my mom said they looked like "Frankenstein shoes." I can't say I disagree, but a really fashion forward Frankenstein.
 
It was raining that day when Sarah and I were shooting, so we were in and out of her little dollhouse, but thankfully I was wearing a damn rain coat anyway.
The coat is John Rocha from Debenhams, but funnily enough I found it at the Goodwill in Bellingham. Someone had put a seam through the sleeves to make the wrist opening smaller, but I took a seam ripper to them to loosen them up.
The vest is Cabela's, but I can assure you that it hasn't seen any elk or pheasant deaths. At least I don't think so. I "borrowed" it from my sister's closet, but we do that a lot.
