My equivalent was my orange silk peg trousers - they were beautiful but they hung in my wardrobe for months, waiting for a top that would enhance their fabulousness. That day never came, and hopefully they're now gracing the legs of someone better suited to them. I laughed, actually, when I saw the picture of the second skirt, as I just bought an Aztec-patterned one today...just as crazy, but a more wearable black and cream...!

I am considering a catered Valentine's Day dinner, a four course meal in a beautiful Nashville space...before I found out about the dinner, I planned champagne & fondue (in my mother's original set from the 70's!!!) at home. I hope you have a fantastic VDay, Allie!

I haven't tried any of the Mint subscriptions since I already belong to JustFab and ShoeDazzle. I've had great experiences with both sites with their shoes, bags, and jewelry; in fact, I'm carrying a ShoeDazzle bag today! And ordered a pair of hot pink patent heels from JustFab for Valentine's Day when they sent me a special half off promotion, which also included a free 12 month subscription to People StyleWatch.

Awwwww....Happy Birthday Allie!!

Oh that's awful Chris!

As for me, I think it was too much blue cheese. I have allergies, and am allergic to mold, and the docs think it was just too much in my system at the same time I was stressed and dealing with seasonal allergies. The perfect storm!

2012-01-27T08:57:51.324-05:00

I like boots, and I like the ease of them. I like the look of boots over jeans with a sweater. And really, the effort I put to get these boots wasn't much more than if I drove an hour to a nearby mall. I believe that it makes more sense to put forth effort to get what you want than settle for something that doesn't satisfy, often causing you to buy and spend even more.

I'll admit, I look better in a pair of pumps than knee-high boots, but it's just not a practical look for every day, for cold or rainy weather. I'd love a wardrobe of different tall boots but my figure doesn't permit that, so I decided to do my research, find a brand and style that is versatile, quality, and will give me years of style and comfort.

I don't like the boots on me with skirts and dresses as much as I do as a casual look with jeans and sweaters. But really that is why I bought them - I wanted an alternative to heeled booties for I look even more off when wearing flats. I don't mind huffing and puffing if I end up with a result that will prevent future huffing and puffing. :)

Congratulations on your sister's doing so well...

Seeing this color combination around a lot lately, and I'm loving it. Too bad my college's rival team's color was orange. I'd be cast away if I dared try it... :)

Hey Alison! You are giving off a 50's vibe with your colorful outfit today! You look like a doll! I also want to wish your sister a speedy recovery! Take care!

2012-01-26T19:53:22.479-05:00

I truly am not trying to be snarky, but you write so much about accepting what looks good and what works on one's body. If you have to huff and puff and order shoes from another continent and take them to multiple tailors, might it be time to admit that knee-high boots won't work? I love the IDEA of them myself--sleek riding boots, rugged motorcycle boots, et cetera--but, though tall, I am much more torso than legs. This, combined with the, ahem, generous calves from childhood sports and toe-walking that I've got, have forced me to face the simple truth that it isn't a bad thing that most boots don't fit my legs; knee-high boots just don't look that great on me and most people with legs like me because they're so stumpifying. Do you choose to wear them despite this, or do you have some styling tricks that are simply beyond me? I wear them with tights, skinny jeans, same color bottoms as shoe, etc., but most of the time, it seems that so much calf simply ain't cute. What do you think?

I don't often comment but I have (I swear) the exact same body as you and seeing your pictures every day makes me feel beautiful because whenever I feel bad about my body, I remember how objectively stunning your body looks to me and how my body looks the same as yours if that makes sense!

I love this outfit! Totally you and you look fab!

Hi Allie, I've been following your blog for a few years now but I've always been a lurker and have never posted before. However, I have to share the love for Duo! I live in the UK and on our vacation last year we visited Bath which is where they have their flagship store. It was my best shopping experience ever, if you are ever in the UK you have to go! Adorable assistants who could not do enough for me even with a tired husband and 3 kids in tow. I wore my Duo Berns today and I am constantly being asked where I got them from.
