Pumped Up Kicks

Outfit Details: Striped Sheer Top: Romy; White tank: American Eagle; Jeans: Per Se; Lace-up Boots: Ross

So I felt very sick today and I actually did not remove my pajamas, except for the half hour I was on the treadmill (and then felt even worse). Note to self: when not feeling at your best, do not exercise. It is a bad idea.

Luckily, I had pictures of my second outfit from my friend Becky‘s photo shoot. You may remember the other pictures from this post. I love this outfit even though the sheer top is surprisingly uncooperative–at points it tended to bunch around the midsection (see pictures above) which is highly unflattering. It’s a wonderful piece in person, though.

See? Stripes! Sheer! Knit! Oh crap… a knit. Yeah, I’ve already managed to pull a thread or two on this garment. Have I mentioned I love knits but I’m so hard on them?

Also–sometimes you run into an item you need to have. When I ran across these boots at Ross they were everything I had been looking for. Everything. It was like the heavens had opened up and granted my wish for the perfect boot… and got the size wrong. So very wrong. These are actually a size 7 (for reference, I normally wear a size 6 but fit a 5.5). However, with a thick sock… no problem! Yes, I make it work…

Also you can check out Becky’s blog here. I had a total blast taking pictures with her. :)

  1. Gah, I’m totally drooling over your boots! I don’t blame you for doing what you need to to make them work. I love the peachy-pink on you, too.

    So sorry you’re sick! Have some chicken noodle soup. Or chocolate. Chocolate usually makes me feel better. :)

  2. Sorry you’re sick. Feel better! (Yeah, doing anything physical while you’re sick is not a good idea, but at least you’re trying to get healthier. I once went shopping while sick. It did not end well.)

    Those boots are fab! If you can’t make them work, can I have them? I’m a 7.5, so I can probably squeeze into :P

    • Thanks. :) I feel a lot better today, actually. :) (Shopping when sick is definitely not fun. :( A friend and I tried that once and it felt like we were swimming through water. We both looked at each other and said lets do this another day and then went home and slept. So bad…)

      And if I decide to get rid of the boots, I’ll definitely send them to you. :D
