voluntary foot torture

I promise I'm trying to catch up on all your lovely blogs and respond to comments - where did all this flurry of activity keeping me busy come from?! Did I step into someone else's life? What happened to my typical weeks of doing nothing particularly exciting for hours on end? Since when did I become so... so... productive?

textured jersey bouquet tee, J.Crew [x]
twisted trooper sweater cardigan, F21 [x]
striped wrap skirt circa 2007, Theory
black tights, Hue
'polly' heels, Tahari [x]
elephant ring, F21

I love these heels! It's not easy to see in the pictures, but they're patent leather (which I'm a sucker for) (ooo shiny), maryjane-style with an adorable silk bow, and peep-toe. There is no part of that description that doesn't sound fantastic to me. The only problem is that the heel is HIGH, which means that my feet take a beating every time I wear these. But do I care? No. (and I may or may not have taken them off before and walked around Macys with bare stockinged feet after I couldn't take the walking-on-fire feeling anymore) (shhh!)

  1. The F21 sweater looks great on you, and I like how you mixed it with a light-colored full skirt and super high heels (I'm fairly certain I'd only think to wear it with black or grey, or jeans.) The only time I can stand to wear heels is when I am sitting down at a fancy occasion. :)

  6. e. - Thanks! The skirt decision was pretty last minute, which may explain why it's, uh, really wrinkled. Hahahaha... I don't wear heels all that often too, but with the holiday party coming up, I figured I needed the practice!

    Rosa - Thanks!

    OneFashionistaDiva - Thanks! That tee has to be my absolute favorite tee at the moment.

    yogagirl - Thanks!

    Angela - We're only young once, right? Wear those heels!

    sarah - Thanks! I got them on clearance, which is always AWESOME.

  9. Maria - You do need it! And I'm a bad influence, haha! You would look so adorable in that cardigan, I just know it. It's surprisingly well-made for a F21 piece, too!

    Toothfairy - Well, I -do- have a lot of things going on in my room, haha! And that's actually a heater next to me... my room's been chilly lately, brrr!

    The whole outfit is very pretty, I wish we could take a walk in the park and have you wear that outfit...seems like the perfect walk in the park outfit!!! ;)

  11. I know it would torture your feet, but babies would smile at you, so it would be worth it!

  13. Hahaha, I've definitely had that "walking on fire" feeling before with heels. Ouch. But they are SO cute! Seriously. And my size is left on Piperlime, so it's a sign! Right? RIGHT? :|

  14. dinagideon - Aww, thanks! And for smiling babies, I'd gladly torture my feet just a little longer in those heels!

    Chloe - I won't be a bad influence and say that you should get those heels... but I WILL say that I LOVE THEM! Make of that what you will!
