As much as I absolutely LOVE Texas (YEE HAW), every Fall and every Spring, I'm in a wardrobe dilemma.
Monday, the temperature was something like 75 degrees.
Tuesday, it was 93.
Wednesday it was 80-something.
Today it's going to be 62.
How is a girl supposed to dress??
I'm sure my friends who read this that know me are chuckling because I'm not much of a wardrobe princess, and it's not often that I abide by social norms -- ESPECIALLY in fashion! (Trust me. If I had the money to afford fashion, I'd be quite fashionable; but I a broke sista.) So I tend to buy and wear neutrals and classics: gray sweater, black pants, white shirt and lots of different kinds of black shoes......
I pulled out a black skirt that fits just above the knee and put on a maroon short sleeve shirt with it. Looking in the mirror deciding if I was just too fat to wear this outfit or not, I had a rush of a thought of terror: it's fall -- I can't wear open-toed shoes with this!
So I fished out a pair of hose. Black, sheer hose. Pulled the slack down to tuck in my shoes. Tried on my closed-toe wedges. Okay, I look like a dork. I look like a freak who doesn't know fashion (and I KNOW fashion dammit!). "Maybe the strappy shoes will look okay." I put the strappy shoes on....slack hanging out the side of my shoes.
Ummmm....no. Ever seen that show "What Not to Wear"? Yeah -- I was that girl.
Sh**.
I don't have the right kind of black shoes to go with this damn skirt for this time of year!!!
I end up stripping down to the skivvies and starting over. Walked out of the house in my work-issued shirt with company logo and a nice pair of navy slacks. NO I didn't wear BLACK shoes with this outfit -- or open toed shoes; instead I elected to wear the navy version similar to these.
I think I'll be opposed to fashion instead of opposed to Texas. Yee haw!
These are my favorit-ist shoes *EVER*:

And yes, I have paid a gazillion dollars for that pair of shoes and they were worth.every.penny. Of course, I wore them nearly every day when I worked. With jeans. With slacks. With skirts.
(You can turn me in to "What Not to Wear" but they will never take those shoes!)
But seriously, I just live to have Nick Arrojo style my hair. *swoon*
THESE SHOES, different season
