It's crazy that it's been 4 months since I last wore this dress. Crazy because it doesn't feel like that long and crazy because it feels like winter is never ending!! I wanted to go ahead and wear it today because I've been wanting to style it with booties and a moto jacket like Wendy had done. After I had originally worn this dress, I regretted not just styling it like this in the first place.
This time around, in the spirit of Valentine's Day week, I wanted to show hints of red. I am absolutely OBSESSED with this scarf. Every time I saw it on Express' site, I was curious about it, but wasn't sure how the mix of patterns would look actually worn as a scarf. But as soon as I tried it on, I fell in love. How could I not love it-- it's plaid AND leopard? Shut up!
Speaking of last times. The last time you saw these booties was for my dressier holiday style look. I love these booties. Love them. I'll be the first to admit that Louboutins, while beautiful, are not the most comfortable heels by any means. But I wear these the most because they are actually comfortable. I bought these shoes via text message. No lie. My SA at the Shoe In location in Vegas sends emails periodically with sale info. These bad boys were 40% off, so as soon as I saw the email, I finished my transaction via text message. That, my friends, is when you know you are a shopaholic. Shopping via text is almost like getting that page on your root beer colored pager from your drug pusher that your stash is available. Sigh. They're amazing though aren't they?
