Purple Monochrome With Pink Shoes

Plaid Shirt & Blazer: Thrifted, Pants: NY&C, Shoes: Amazon.com, Purple Shirt: Homemade

It was so very cold & windy outside when I took these photos that I forgot to 1) Take my hands out of my pockets, 2) Take any close up shots, 3) Properly anchor my tripod, so it blew over the SECOND I let go and turned my back. Everything is ok though, because it toppled over into some nice soft mud. Everything still works and is relatively clean. You can tell it is very windy because OMG MY HAIR. It’s exactly the right length to look SUPER CRAZY when it’s windy but not yet fly into my face. Which I think is the worst length because I almost never self aware enough to know that my hair looks crazy.

A nice middle aged guy at work told me he ‘liked my mocassions’ I almost said ‘actually they are boat shoes’. But instead I said ‘Thanks!’. I love it when middle aged guy complement something I am wearing it seems so out of character for them. But they also seem to love my red boots, and an awesome pair of metal rainbow-circle-earrings that I can’t seem to find any pictures of.

I’d pinned a pair of pink little-girl boat shoes really similar to these some time ago. Then I spotted these on Amazon (because Amazon creepily always knows what I’ve been looking at lately) and I meant to hit ‘add to cart’ so I could leave them there for a little while and think about it wait for them to go on sale. Instead I hit the ’1-click shopping button’ and the shoes were on their way. Curse your convenience Amazon.  When I got them and had NO idea what to wear them with. After the nice complement I’m pretty sure I am wearing them ‘correctly’.

I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. Curly-haired-boy and I spent a good deal of it curled up on the couch watching Downton Abbey, which is AWESOME. My mother told me so. But really, who believes their mothers when she talks about TV shows? I will put more faith into the next things she suggests.

    I love the colour of your blazer and your shoes, as far as I can make out, are really cute :)

    Love the pink shoes! I’m always paranoid that my tripod is going to topple over when it’s windy.

    Ha, I looked at your shoes and thought “How could anyone mistake them for moccasins?!” Men… They look cute though, and I love the purple monochrome outfit too!

    And you’ve discovered “Downton Abbey”! Awesome! Are you guys watching the second season or the first?

      We are still on Season 1 because we were late to the game and do not have ‘regular TV’. Netflix kept suggesting season 1 and I was just like ‘Ugh, my MOM watches that.’

      Middle aged men can not be expected to identify more than three types of shoes, so he didn’t do TO bad.

    What is Downton Abbey about? I have been looking for a nice TV show lately…
    Cute! I love the purples together. Very nice! It’s always windy out my way too so I completely understand. My tripod is usually jammed as close to my house as possible in an area to block the wind. Sometimes it still blows over. Agh.

      It’s a PBS drama about the social dynamics between the upper class and the servant class in Great Britain just before the first world war. It’s actually really cool and has Maggie Smith (Professer Mcgonagall) in it.

        Wow, I am definitely going to check it out! (The Prof. M. really sold me… :D I am a HP nut.)

    I probably would have corrected the guy and told him they were boat shoes… but that’s because I don’t have a filter. :)

    Loving your purple outfit. Purple is my favorite color!!

      Sometimes my desire to be polite overcomes my need to be right. But only SOMETIMES.
      Also that is because purple is the best.

    nice purple inspiration, it’s not easy to style a purple outfit, but you did it well. I like the plaid shirt which adds some interesting pattern. Your hair is growing into a nice bob shape, which is really cute!
