Day 8: I’m, I’m sky high
Monday started a little blah. Because, well, it’s Monday. But, it ended quite fantastically. At the last minute (less than an hour before the game started) Mario and I randomly somehow decided to go to the sharks game. Got tickets super quick and jetted down to the shark tank. It was super fun. Didn’t feel at all like Monday. The game was GREAT! The Sharks beat the LA Kings 6-3. I love the excitement of the crowd at Sharks games. Sharks fans are kind of the best. It’s intoxicating to be in the arena with everyone cheering along. It always gets me super pumped!
After the game we grabbed food and Long Islands, and walked around downtown a bit. I Love Downtown San Jose. It was nice and dead on most streets, and it was fun wandering around a usually bustling area, while it was so empty.
I have been wanting to wear these shoes. But, hadn’t quite had the guts to. I’m still way too insecure about my height sometimes. And, I’m working to get over it! I LOVE tall wedges! Sarah and I bought these at DB Shoes, a discount shoe store. We went one day about a month ago and tried on all sorts of shoes. We both loved these Steve Madden wedges, but neither of us really wanted to spend the $$$, so we decided to go halfsies. It works out nicely since we are living together currently. But, even when we don’t we’ll still share. When we lived apart we still traded and borrowed each others clothes. We’ll make it work. she’ll probably wear them more than I, so I’ll probably let her hang on to them , and just borrow them every once in awhile.
I painted my nails and toes with my sister’s OPI Cherry Blossom nail polish. Love this color! I love Hot pinks next to browns and tans. It’s a favorite color combo of mine.

Tried kicking my leg out to show the wedge . Apparently I can’t balance very well in platforms. Who’d a thunk?
We are having AMAZING weather here, right now. Sadly, it’s supposed to start to get cold tomorrow and rain over the weekend (typical). I really wish I could be out side soaking up the last moments of it. It really is perfect.
iphone outfit post v2.
Here we are again. I know I will not be home early enough for decent photos since I started late-ish today. So, I thought I’d try this again. It was fun last time!

Goodbye sunlight.
Well, it’s getting darker earlier. As if I didn’t already have a problem getting home earlier enough. On the commute home it was sunset, and I thought I’d make it home in time for some nice shots. No such luck. I got home ran inside, met my sister ran back outside and the sky was a nice navy blue. Shoot. Oh well, next time , we try again.
I was pretty pleased with my outfit yesterday. Keeping with that boring comfort theme. But I threw some wedges in the mix. Lately, I have been wearing a lot of flats to work. I hate towering over people. But, these were fun to add in to the mix of an otherwise pajama lookin’ outfit.

I have one daytime shot. Taken with my iphone at lunch. I like the way my shoes an purse matched the leaves so I snapped a quickie!
I’m so ready for fall and all it’s rich colors.
“If the shoe fits, wear it”
As I stated previously, Friday night I went out for a night of dancing to celebrate Stephanie’s Birthday. For the most part I dressed casually. I am having body image issues and simpler feels to look better. But, I did break out my Sam Edelman wedges that I have worn only twice previously. They are like my babies. See an earlier post here, where I am pining for them. I have problem where I get certain items and I will stow them away for fear that if I wear them I will ruin them. I did this with my Christian Dior sunglasses that I purchased and wore very rarely for the first year (now I wear them regularly), among other items with similar unworn stories. I realize that the point on loving something is to get the use out if it. But, something holds me back. I’m working on it though. I think part of it, is I feel it will go to waste, and go unappreciated. This is why I want to work on documenting outfits. I feel like I’ll wear some of the great things hiding out if I know I can really show it off! Okay, enough of my silly ranting.
Here are my outfit details from Friday night:
Tank tops (2): Forever 21
Black cuffed fitted trousers: Old Navy
Sam Edelman studded wedges (in all their glory): Urban Outfitters.
It’s yo birthday, so I know you want to ride out.
On Friday night, I went out with some girlfriends to celebrate Stephanie’s birthday! Stephanie met up at the apartment with Sarah and I. We all got ready together before meeting up with a couple other girls downtown.
And, before we headed out we had a photo shoot. Of course.
Sari (rockin’ her sailor colors):
Steph (classic and cool):
We Love playing dress up.
Happy Birthday, Steph! Hope you had a blast.
End of Summer.
A little outfit post. My girlfriend had an end of Summer BBQ over Labor day weekend. The weather was great. I was excited to get a few of my lady friends in one place to get them to model a few hair pieces to add to my Etsy shop. Accomplished that! Got some great pics out in the sun for the shop.
Before I headed over, I actually took time to snap a couple outfit pics. Pretty simple. Gotta keep it minimal in the heat.
Dress/top: Forever 21
Biker shorts: Forever 21
T-strap canvas flats: Urban Outfitters
These flats are my new favorite right now. I got them on sale a couple weeks ago. They make me feel a little bit like a dolly <3
I think my top is supposed to be a dress. But, since I’m 5’9″…. not so much. Luckily for me, this biker short thing is working out quite well. I love them.
Prom Queen Dress.
My sister and I went dancing to a old favorite lounge that was having their 5th anniversary party last night. Well, our cocktail waitress was wearing this super cute dress, and I was staring all night. Finally, Sarah just told me to ask her where it’s from, but I wouldn’t and just continued to admire. Later on Sarah decided to take it upon herself to ask her, she also snapped a picture of her from behind. (see below).
Turns out, to my surprise the dress is from Forever 21! Now, usually I would know this! I watch all my favorite online store regularly, daily! for new items. BUT, with my recent salary decrease, I haven’t looked at any of my favorite shopping sites. It’s been weeks. As soon, as we left the lounge, I got on my phone to look for the dress. (I was curious about the price, because I have a $30 gift card from Christmas still)
I LOVE the look of the mesh and tulle fabric with the boning! boning! I love that it has boning for structure. And the chevron looking pattern on the bodice. Damn. I just love it. It’s so fun.
$39.80. I probably won’t buy it. I just can’t justify it in my current financial situation. So, I thought a little post in it’s honor might be nice therapy. I’m not even sure I could pull this style of dress off. I’m 5’9″ and I’m sure that’s enough for it to look awkward, never mind the fact that my weight is not really within Forever 21′s standards.
Side note: I noticed the sizes listed are 2-4-6-8-10. When did Forever 21 change there sizing? At least for Dresses? This is new, right? I’m curious to know if they go up to 12.
Sky high!
I bought these taupe suede Barney New York wedges last year. They are the highest shoes I own. I may hurt something wearing them. I still have not yet worn them out of the house. I tried them on while having a fashion show in my bedroom the other night, and got really anxious get them on the town asap. I am so happy the weather is letting up and getting nicer. Time for Spring and Summer shoes!
Target.
So, I admit I have been a bit of a Judgy McJudgerson about the Anna Sui Target line. I felt looked too cheap for the prices they were asking. I had came to this horrible judgement after only seeing the dresses on the Target website.
Today, I ventured to Target on my lunch break, and for the first time got a face to dress look at some of the line. I was especially excited to see that the 2 dresses I had favored from the website were still available close to my size. The Website photos do not do some of the dresses justice. I do still feel some look way cheap for what they cost, and am not a fan. But these 2 looked MUCH nicer in person. And I grabbed the last largest sizes available and headed to the fitting room.
Now, I’m unsure if it’s that this style of dress in particular is just NOT meant for my body type, or if I need to finally come to gripps with the fact that I really shouldn’t be shopping in the Juniors’ department at age 27… I think the dresses are very cute. But, there is no way I could wear them, nor would I care to spend the money on them… I realize they would be somewhat cuter on, with some opaque tights, or an blouse underneath. But, I still think I’d be reaching if I thought I’d look great. I am having an issue with the first dress. Because I love the tweed like fabric with the studs. I Love studs, period. But, I think it makes a great mix… sigh.
Anyway. I left the dresses with the fitting room attendant, and took this Mossimo sweater to the checkout line:
I’m really in love with it. I am pretty gaga over cowl neck tops and dresses currently, and I love grey, and the pockets! perfect.
Maybe I’m just not as daring as I thought I once might of been? eh.
