The World Is My Runway

Ok...so I just HAD to try it.  Here is my "Socks With Heels" ensemble.  I actually really like it, but I have to admit, I did not have the guts to wear it in public!  I changed my shoes when I left the house!  So does that mean it doesn't count?  Heehee!  I wanted to test it out on you all first!

Feeling so happy in boots and a dress...oh yes!  I love these colors together.  Kind of a taupe-brown and mustard yellow, which is really in for fall.  And now, let boot season begin!  You will being seeing my collection of knee-high boots quite frequently in the next couple of months.  YAY for knee-high boots!  And while we're at it, YIPPEE for ruffles!

As I mentioned in an earlier post, my 3 year wedding anniversary was this week and the hubby and I spent the day at the Aquarium.  A smorgasbord of beautiful scenery!  My camera was going wild!

My goal in my attire was to be comfortable, but still look hot for my husband!  A cotton military dress with my extremely comfortable oxfords fit the bill!  A fringed shoulder bag was light enough to carry throughout the day, but big enough to carry all the necessary things a girl needs (Compact, lipgloss, hand sanitizer, tissues...and the list goes on and on!).  A woman's purse is like a black hole!  You never know what you might find in there!

There were so many interesting things at the Aquarium, but coolest by far was the shark exhibit.  My husband, being a huge fan of Shark Week and just sharks in general, was like a little kid in a candy store.

I am quite smitten over sunsets and the ocean!  I have taken up a new interest in photography and have been seeing the world through a camera lens!  Here is a beautiful photo I thought I would share with you.  A walk by the shore watching the sunset was truly a romantic setting and the end to a wonderful day!

Today was just one of those days where my face was strange in every single picture I took!  Not a photogenic day for me.  I actually delete most of the pictures I take...I have to take many before it looks the way I want.  It is a new perspective seeing yourself the way the world sees you.  I recommend that you try photographing your daily ensembles (and then send me the pics so I can share them).  It helps you determine what looks good on you and what doesn't!  There are times that I think I love an outfit, and then I see it in a photo...I will run right back to my closet and change!  We are definitely our own worst critics, but hopefully you won't be too hard on me today!  I cropped my head out of a lot of these pictures, so you could focus on the outfit and not the weird faces I was making!

I am loving this dress from JC Penny.  It was seriously only $5!  It is made of a thin, cotton, t-shirt material, and is so comfortable!  I had a field day at JC Penny the other day!  Everything was so incredibly cute and inexpensive.  The long chain necklace was $5 as well.

These shoes are BCBG, and I got them a while back at Ross.  They have a tiny scratch on the back of the heel, so they were marked down to $17.  There's nothing like finding a good quality brand for a cheap price!  You can find good quality brand name shoes at discount places like Ross, Marshalls, Burlington Coat Factory, and DSW.  Sometimes you may have to dig, or search for sizes, but it is totally worth the extra effort!  I don't really care about brand names...if it's cute, and a decent price I will buy it!  But I do try to buy good quality shoes because they tend to be more comfortable.  After all, I am a shoe girl!  If I had to wear a paper bag, but still had cute shoes on, I would be happy!
