I did it!

Saturday I innocently went to Neiman Marcus. My objective: wedding shoes. I was thinking I’d go with these classic Stuart Weitzman’s:

Which, by the way, are normally $325 and are currently on sale on the website for $163

But while I was there, I thought, “why not try on those Manolo Blahniks?”

And I did.

And I don’t know that I’ve ever grinned or beamed as much over a pair of shoes. Which is saying quite a lot.

And now, I own these.

what I want wednesday

What I want this Wednesday is:

DRESSES!

I just bought this plunging v-neck dress for $20 in black, and I am stoked to get it. Seems like it will be very versatile and wearable.

But I also have my eye on this sweaterdress, because I can’t resist sweaterdresses!

So much for being grounded, eh?

Sophisticated any occasion dress

I have to cut back on the impulse buys for awhile, or else I’d snap this up. I’ve become addicted to dresses, and this one I can picture myself wearing in a wide variety of scenarios. Pretty good deal, too, at 40% off. Maggy London is also the designer of my bridesmaid dresses, so I know I like her stuff already.

Large number of sizes left at the moment!

the things I put up with for fashion

Today was a day of embarrassment.

I was feeling pretty cute coming into work. I’m wearing a pair of martin fit pants from Banana Republic, with a great cuffed pant leg, Anne Klein pumps, this cute little coat…Anyway, I’m walking up the stairs to work, jamming to my iPod, when cute little Anne Klein heel gets stuck in cute cuffed pants, and down I go, falling up the stairs.

I am fine, but I bruised my dignity. Turns out heels plus cuffs equals a dangerous combination.

How about you? Any fashion flub ups? Wardrobe malfunctions? Juicy embarrassing stories? Seriously, it’s your turn.
