OOTD- Working Double Duty

As I was viewing these photos, I noticed that my new pants had some weird crotch action going on. I would so be chastised by Michael Kors if these came down the Project Runway stage. However, that may have something to do with the fact that I gave my Rachel Rachel Roy dress extra work by acting as the top in my outfit. After wearing a dress as a tunic the other day, I was totally inspired.

Speaking of inspired, do you see the shoes I'm wearing? I found these designer shoes in the thrift store and thought they were pretty cute. I'm not enamored with the color though. After checking out an article in Lucky magazine about how to dye items in your wardrobe to give them a second life, I think I want to do that for these shoes.

So I ask, what color do you think I should dye these shoes?

OOTD- Kick Off

I received two "why are you so dressed up?" comments yesterday. Are pumps not allowed on Sunday??

I haven't worn this jacket since last year (seen in this post) and yesterday's weather was almost perfect for not having to wear a coat, so this sweater jacket definitely fit the bill. Although pumps might not have been the best option for the park. Speaking of my new stems (long live Clueless vocabulary), they are not Christian Louboutins (despite that vibrant sole). I seriously considered "investing" in a pair the last time I went to Saks.

Is it crazy to consider spending a boatload of money on a pair of shoes?
