Yes, this picture is NOT in a corner in my room!  Thrilling, no?  I was out at the annual tree lighting in Portland.  75 feet of tree, 2 miles of lights, 1 godawful jazz/reggae band doing Christmas carol covers.  But I had a good time nonetheless.  After that, my friends and I went to a bar to watch the Blazer game (which was a horrible loss to Memphis) and have dinner.

Today was black friday, but I didn't go shopping.  I never do.  Not as a statement, but just because I never have money for it.  And/or there's too much potential for me to overspend.  My mom, on the other hand, did go shopping and bought me tights!  I'm very, very excited!  New tights are always delightful.

Now, I think it's time for 30 Rock and bed.

Welcome to the Thanksgiving edition of the daily outfit!  I mean, I didn't wear this on Thanksgiving, but today IS thanksgiving.  I wore this on Tuesday for work and a volunteer event.  I like the outfit a lot, it's nice and casual.  These heels aren't the most stable, but they're comfortable enough.  I'm learning to walk in heels.  Less tripping and dragging the heel.  But it's so slow!  I walk about twice as fast in flats.  Oh well, these are still pretty.

I was already committed to this dress before I realized how wildly inappropriate for work it is.  I suppose this is the good thing about working in an office with no dress code.  I tried to make it as matronly as possible, but in the end, it was a really short dress.  Oh well, I suppose.

I like these shoes a lot.  They're not my most comfortable pair of heels (thus far, that award is still with my Madden Girls) but they have a solid heel.  I hate that a lot of my stilletos have heels that wobble around when I walk.  There's a good chance they didn't do that when I bought them and they only started doing that because I walk on them the wrong way, but still...it sucks!

Today has been a pajamas and slippers day.  You don't need another post about that.  So here's something I'd already cued up.  This outfit is from some time in late October, though I'm not totally sure of the date.  It was cold out, but not rainy, so it was the perfect day to wear wedges.  The idea of wearing knee highs with wedges had been rattling around in my head for quite some time, but I always chickened out when I'd think of wearing them.  Not this time, though!  This day, I wore them high and proud.  To pretty good results, I think.

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.
