I’ve had some serious insomnia recently – like I’m awake when the sky lightens and the birds start chirping. I’m not entirely sure why I can’t sleep during normal sleep hours, but at least I’ve been putting those wee hours to good use. I’m determined to get better at flash photography and long/night exposures before the road trip. Determined.
Here’s how I’m doing so far:
Today was the first beautiful, appropriately summery day we’ve had in quite some time… and I spent most of it indoors, of course (planning something VERY exciting, which I will divulge soon). But when I did venture out, this is what I wore… comfortable, breathable, with dancing shoes:
You know how people say girls usually end up like their mothers? Well it’s happened to me. There have always been photographic glimpses into this inevitable future – an expression here, a hairstyle there. But the other day, I unwittingly channeled my mother circa 1974, except I’m a few inches taller and she had a lot more ‘tude…
Today, I cleaned out my closets with the intention of selling/Goodwilling whatever I can bear to part with. Let’s just say I was surprised/horrified to see just how many clothes I actually own. I sifted through years and years of sartorial memories… the strapless silk dress with the insanely large bust from Fiji that my father bought me when I was 5 (that I’m still waiting to grow into), the striped polos and plaid pants from my brief foray into preppydom during my high school years, the long flowy skirts from college. I spent a good few hours reliving memories and dividing my wardrobe into keepers and goners.
I’m pretty proud of the results:
Fourteen pairs of barely worn shoes…
Yet another rainy Monday, yet another dress up day!
This time… white light and electric colors:
It’s practically spring!!! Here’s what I wore to a client meeting yesterday:
I had a fabulous day yesterday…
1. I wore my brand new Pour La Victoire platform slingbacks yesterday and there is only one acronym that can express what it felt like: OMG. They are wildly comfortable (despite the 5 inch heel), like jump-up-and-down comfortable.
2. I wore said magical slingbacks with a light sweater dress I got at Opening Ceremony a while back that gives me the illusion of bod.
3. Our corporate office is moving offices so our computer systems went down at noon – meaning a soft work day on a Friday afternoon!
4. Ordered a giant, delicious pizza for dinner and then American Beauty came on right when I sat down on the couch.
Just lovely…
I realize this shoe is ripping off no less than 3 designers, but I love it nonetheless:
Pour La Victoire Felicia Sandal
UPDATE: They’re mine and I couldn’t be happier! Pictures soon!
I can’t decide whether I want to keep these or not…
UPDATE: In true Laurie fashion, I missed the cut-off date to return these, so now, even though I’m still figuring out how to wear them, they are mine.
Yes, please… Oh God, yes.
