Today's stripes and the Fluevog of the Day are one and the same! I have stripes on my footwear!I am also wearing my new-to-me dress that I picked up in Vancouver last weekend:
I think of this as sort of a "retro cowgirl" look. The dress is a classic shirtwaist (it has extra pleats in the back to pouf it out a bit more) in a nice neutral colour. I do wear neutrals sometimes! The dress was $21.00.You can't see it in the above pictures, but I'm wearing my fluffy skirt underneath it:
I'd link to the last time I wore the underskirt, but it has no label so I can't find it when I search. I also have a red cami on under the dress (gotta hide the cleavage at work!).
That truly is a gorgeously-shaped boot. I love the stitching going up the side, the little square studs at the top and the zipper up the front - rock and roll!
A close-up of the accessories:
My favourite Shi Studio belt buckle, and some stone jewelry. The turquoise necklace is from my "free" haul in the consignment store this last Sunday - it was $20, and I used my credit. It has a real heft to it, and warmed up on my skin, feeling lovely.

These are my only pair of tall Fluevog boots - I got them on sale a couple of years ago. This family is called the Blind Faith Hi (there was also a Blind Faith Lo and Mid, referring to the heel height), and this style is the Rebecca. All the Blind Faith styles had the same striped wooden heel, I believe. These are quite comfortable, but very tight in the calves - the leather is very stiff and even after many wears, they are still a ways to go in being soft.
I last wore them here, and you can see some of the detailing from the first time I wore them here.

This is a great site! I like how you set this up! Great pictures as well!...Daniel
ReplyDeleteThose are some glorious boots, and I have to say - one of the more creative ways of incorporating stripes. The dress is adorable. I love a good shirtdress.
