Dress Me Up Dollie

I'm not usually one for a mostly black outfit, but I really wanted to maintain focus on these shoes today.  Look at them.  They're fabulous!  A roommate of mine once said that they looked like I'd been walking through a field of blue gems with glue on my boots.  She meant in in an insulting way, but I still think of it as a compliment.  Haha.  Who wouldn't want to walk through a field of blue gems?  I adore the look of these shoes, but oh man they're riduculously uncomfortable.  The 3 block walk from my house to the bus stop this morning just about killed me.  For some reason the 10 blocks from the bus to my office weren't as bad, but it's not even lunch yet and I'm dreading all the walking I have to do on my commute home.  Maybe these ridiculous shoes and I just weren't meant to be together.  Or maybe I should keep a pair of flats in my backpack for the walk!  Hmm.

I'm quite in love with this dress.  It's very multi-functional.  For example, today I wore it to work, then out to coffee with Jeremy and then to a drinks function for a political campaign I'm helping with.  Bet y'all didn't know I'm interested in Oregon politics.  Ok, I'm actually not, but it's for work and it's a really good and different experience from what I'm used to.

Also today, a good friend of mine challenged me to wear every pair of shoes I own with no repeats.  While my shoe collection may not be as absurd as some fashion bloggers' are, it's still pretty sizeable.  It's going to take me over a month to complete the challenge, but I'm excited about it.  It's going to stretch my styling capabilities significantly, given that I have some shoes that are just absurd (heels that look like gold disco balls, anyone?) and a lot that are season inappropriate.  But it's going to be a lot of fun.  Today, we mark off my bejeweled purple flats by Siegerson-Morrison for Target.
