The Chic in Chicago

Hello beautiful ring!

How can I even describe my anguish at realizing that this skirt didn’t come in my size?  I feel like I need to keep adding more adult elegant pieces into my wardrobe and this skirt fits that to a t. 

If this is your size I’d grab it!

I just bought these and I think they’re going to be my signature summer dress shoe.  They’re nude so not only are they on trend they match pretty much everything and they elongate your legs.

Plus I have to say that they are shockingly comfortable, not that one should ever purchase shoes because they’re comfortable.

How timely, net-a-porter (the be all end all of internet fashion and shopping) has a TON of nude shoes.  Clearly a bit more of an investment than the Steve Maddens but they’re high quality.  I always am reminded (in a good way) that you get what you pay for when I wear a pair of Michael Koors wedges that are from like 4 years ago.  They still look and feel AMAZING!

The net-a-porter mag has a whole article on nude fashion as well but my flash player and I are in a fight so you’ll have to seek it out yourself.

I totally can’t wear these (cankels, eek!), but if I could they’d be on my summer list.  And they’re currently on sale on net-a-porter.com

So, these are not my typical shoes (well I guess they’re not anyone’s typical shoes) but there is something about them I totally love.  Now I don’t usually get caught up on if something is “my style” or if I can “pull it off.”  I’m very much a believer that you can wear anything you love and under almost any circumstances (foofy dress for a dive bar? sign me up!) but these boots may push that idea for my cankles.

Still, maybe with a skinny jean…
