Dancing At Discos, Eating Cheese On Toast

Dress : YOU

Dress: Strawberry Kat

Hat: Panama Jack

Skirt: Chloe

Boots: Forever 21

To continue my rant about spring...I went shopping this weekend.  Harvard Square has so many stores to choose from, and most of them have some fantastic pieces hidden somewhere in them.  Stores like Urban and LF are just so packed with things that you really have to search for the good items.  But, I decided to dedicate my entire Friday afternoon to mindless sifting through junk, and found some cool stuff.

These aren't all the things I got, just some of my favs.  The first two dresses are both from LF, and are super short, but I'm just going to embrace the shortness.  What's a dress that doesn't show a little leg??  The first dress is my favorite, but both are really summery and comfortable- done and done.
My hat in the 3rd picture is literally a Panama Jack hat that I bought for $6 in a pharmacy in Palm Beach- who knew pharmacys sold hats at all?  Palm Beach truly is it's own breed of city.

I was cleaning my closet today so it'd be easier to move out of my dorm on moving day, and I came across the skirt in the 4th picture- how cute? I literally forgot I had it, but I absolutely love it.
The boots are from Forever 21, which usually I don't depend on too much for shoes, but I love these with a flowy sundress or some cut-offs.

Anyways, another beautiful day in Boston and the sunglasses and flip-flops have been kicked into high gear.  Loving life.

Accessory Frenzy


MICHAEL KORS SHOES
So I bought these pairs recently.  I can't say which ones I like more, because I've been eyeing both for weeks and weeks.  AND I didn't buy either pair online...which is huge for me.  
These pictures aren't the greatest I know, but hey I never said I was a photographer.  
Sooo summary of the cutouts:
Unlike most wooden heels I've owned, these are actually surprisingly comfortable.  I have yet to wear them for a long period of time, and I'm guessing it won't be entirely pleasant.  Anyways.  They're not tight around the ankle, the heel isn't too thin, and I know I can get through at least 20 minutes pain-free.  Conclusion: beauty is pain-free.

Summary of the backless booties:
As I've said before, I have an obsession with booties in general, and these are a fabulous variation.  They're peep-toed and the strap in the back is elastic- another comfort-plus.   I've decided that these work all year round too, because they're black and suede for winter, but they're peep-toed and backless for summer...perf.

All in all, now instead of picturing a pudgy, orange, sunglasses-wearing judge on Project Runway when I hear the name "Michael Kors," I'll think of these 2 fabulous additions to my shoe family.
