Shoes by Megan

When the fabulous Megan of Megan Mae Daily mentioned that she'd been out thrifting back in December and saw a pair of Tsubos in a size 9, I emailed her - sure enough, that sweetheart went back to the thrift store and snagged them for $6.00 and mailed them to me. Isn't that the most generous thing ever? I was so touched. 

I had to build an outfit around them right away:

Vizzini's coming in for a rub!

This velvet jacket is also new-to-me - picked it up for $18.00 last weekend. I think the sizing is wrong: it says it's a size 2. Uh, no. I am many things, but a size 2 is not one of them. Ah well, it fit and that's the most important thing. I love the pirate-y cuffs and the shape of the collar. However, the velvet made it really hard to put my coat on over it - I felt very bulky.

That's my crackly "Indiana Jones" leather skirt (no link as it has no label), and sadly, this will be the last wear of the pumpkin tights as they blew a hole today.

Here's a look at the jacket open (I untucked the sweater underneath once I got to work):

See Inigo snoozing on my old backpack?

Sadly, as I did yesterday, I ended up taking these shoes off after an hour and changing back into my Ugg runners. I was running up and down stairs, lugging around boxes and computer peripherals and doing a lot of physical work today. The shoes are a little "toe-y" and my foot kept wanting to slide out the front, especially with the tights making them even more slippy.

I do love them, though, and they fit perfectly! I can't wait to wear them more with bare legs come summer! Thank you, Megan, for such a wonderful gift! I am always on the lookout for things for you!

The stuff:

Yeah, I know! Get a load of that heel! It's three stripes: chocolate, a mid-brown and then the bone colour for the rest of the shoe. These are called the "Shala" and the colour palette is called pebble and tan. These join my other two pairs of Tsubos: these yellow ones, and my Acreas.

The earrings are ones I rarely wear because they're a bit heavy.

I love leaf shapes.

Check out the bottom of the shoes:

Seriously, they've never been worn - there was not a single mark on the the soles or the heel.
