res·o·lu·tion
ˌrezəˈlo͞oSHən/
noun
1. a firm decision to do or not to do something.
So, Resolution #4 should mean: a firm decision to wear all my shoes. Or maybe: a firm decision to not neglect any shoes in my collection? Either way, I shall refer to this merely as "resolution #4" from now on. Yes, it's only my first week of my resolutions, but what do they say? It only takes 21 days for something to become habit? I could be making that up, but you get my point. I took these boots out of the vault because they deserved some love. They obviously make quite the statement, which is why I decided to pair them with solids. I tried to go with a full on monochromatic look with one of the new metallic skirts I've recently bought plus a neutral cable knit sweater, but it made me look like a matronly Fembot:
So, I just grabbed this easy dress, a scarf to pick up the taupe in the boots, and I was pleased with the results. It also gives me faith in these boots, because I had almost given up on them. It was snowy/slushy again today, so I begrudgingly *had* to wear my new red wellies, outdoors. A girl's gotta do...
I don't know about you guys, but I am thrilled that there are only 8 hours left in the work week. Every morning I have woken up this week, I've been discombobulated, wishing it were Saturday. You can imagine my dismay when I realized it was only Tuesday. Needless to say, it's been a long week, and I have spent way too many hours commuting back and forth in this treacherous weather!! Cheers to the freakin' weekend!

I love this dress, that's such a pretty colour. That's a great idea for your resolution. I really need to work on weaing all my shoes also..
ReplyDeleteYes - it's great to give my shoes more love! Good luck to you on this! You can do it!!
DeleteAnd thank you!
Beautiful dress, and I think it was an excellent choice to go with a simple color palette (and I do love that shade of purple) to let the boots speak for themselves! And I see you are holding up well on one of your other resolutions, too! #prettynails

That blue was leftover from the weekend, so I can't take extra props for that! Although as I type this, my fingers are a pretty burgundy!
DeleteIt's tough because I have so many prints - solids, especially dresses - in my closet are hard to come by! So happy this dress worked!

Thank you! I've just started doing those overhead views of the outfits - I am liking them a lot, too!
DeleteIt's funny you posted about wearing more of your shoes, because I also said this. I have large collection of heels. I always seem to reach for the flats though... I will be working on this as well!

I stopped buying flats because I realized I just don't wear them. I wear the heck out of flat boots in the winter, but regular flats, not so much! But regardless, I'm glad you can relate and I'm not the only one!!
DeleteSo pretty! Red Hunter boots are next on my list! :)
ReplyDeletePS. I'm hosting a giveaway for a super cute bracelet from Urban Peach Boutique, come enter!

It felt ridiculously good to sleep in this morning!!! Hope you are rested! Thanks for reading!
DeleteI am glad you decided on this dress because it's a lovely colour and goes really well with the boots. I love those boods and wish I could find something like that in my calf size. I also plan to wear all my shoes this year, because my wardrobe has shoes that has not seen the light of day since I first bought them... Such a shame really lol
ReplyDeleteCharlynne
Yes, I know! Fabulous shoes shall not be boxed up! They shall be donned for the world to appreciate it! I hope you stick with your goal, so I can use you as my inspiration!
DeleteThose boots are everything!
