Shirt, Gap; skirt, Old Navy; necklace, Forever 21; knee-highs, Target; shoes, Charlotte Russe
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.

Sweater, Old Navy; belt, diy; skirt, Torrid; tights, Old Navy; shoes, Charlotte Russe
After wearing heels for 13 hours yesterday, I feel like I've earned these flats. My feet are rejoicing in their lack of any shaping. But really, those heels did right by me. They were fairly comfortable until about the 11th hour (there's actually no joke in that, shockingly) when I was just so tired of standing, I'm pretty sure no pair of shoes would have made any difference. I'm going to try those inserts in another pair of shoes, see if that's what made yesterday's pair so bearable.
Back to the task at hand, though. I don't remember buying these shoes, but I own the,. They're alright. Just a run of the mill pair of flats. They were definitely an afterthought in today's outfit. I chose them because it's not going to rain today and these are awful when it rains. They soak right through and then I feel like I'm getting trench foot. So I thought I should wear them while I can.
I thought this outfit was going to be adorable when I picked it out last night. I was in a delerious sleepy haze at 9:45 (I was asleep at 10, is that ridiculous?), then when I got dressed this morning I was far too tired to try to fix it. The shape of the sweater doesn't really compliment the skirt, blue tights weren't the right choice with an orange top, the list goes on... But I've committed to the outfit, and thus it stays and you get to see it.
