The Comfort Shoe Paradox

So I just think I went a bit too far in the grandma shoe department.  I love Worishofers beyond belief for their comfort and am needing a good pair of shoes to wear for my upcoming trip to NYC.  It's going to be below 70 degrees and all my walkable shoes are either sandals (cold toes), flats (need more arch support) or too high (a true Texan stereotype--we drive everywhere).  Enter these babies: they're half sandal, half clog which should keep my feet relatively warm, and have the best arch support for trekking all over the city for vintage treasures, lobster rolls, bagels and more shopping.  I'm torn between feeling practical about my shoe choice to the horror of wearing orthopedic shoes in the most fashionable city in the country.  I might be brave and sneak a picture for you guys while I'm there.  Or maybe it's best not to have any photographic evidence...

Tiny mice, twice as nice

Here's my casual outfit from labor day which took me from a lovely lunch to a matinee (Midnight in Paris) to making delicious onigiri (Japanese rice balls).  I'm wearing another vintage kissing mice belt, this time in a smaller version.  Somehow when things are smaller their cuteness factor goes off the charts.  Tiny little cookies?  I'll have 5 please!

A few fun pictures have surfaced from AFW, the above taken by Peter Tung at By Jeannie's party and below taken by David Mitchell at Tess's party!

What do you think of my wonderful new header?  It was created by the multi-talented Linda from Little Tin Soldier!

I adore everything about this outfit (ok, maybe except for the shoes).  Pleated skirts are my kryoptonite!

Anthropologie Two Wheeler Dress

This yellow belt has been in heavy rotation for the past few months.  I like the idea of having a versatile wardrobe in which you'll reach for pieces over and over again.  I tend to buy "special pieces" which warrant a "special occasion" (never) or end up being worn only with a certain item.  Lately I've been a bit frustrated with my extensive closet and consumer habits.  I'm trying to take a step back and take a good look at how I can utilize what I have.  I think it's time to call in for professional help! :)  Btw do you like Link's newest blogger pose? (the lookaway)
