These Chie Mihara shoes came in the mail yesterday and I couldn't be happier with them, even if I do feel a little guilty for buying them. I fell in love with them when they were on the Anthropologie website, but at over $300.00 they were something that I couldn't afford. So when they ended up on sale for 50% off I had to get them. I reasoned with myself by thinking of all the summer events they'd get me through . . . . fun ones like concerts and parties, and not-so-great ones like weddings . . .
Have I ever complained about weddings before here? I'd be surprised if I haven't because I've been pretty bored by them since I was a kid. And I feel like it makes me a little unnatural, the fact that I'm not at all excited about eventually having a wedding of my own, and that I'm even less excited about having to go to other people's.
The only fun part about going is coming up with an outfit and being able to get away with something dressy and over-the-top. Weeks before I have to go I start scheming up outfits in my mind. I still don't know what I'll be wearing to the first one of the summer (it's this week, and to be perfectly fair it seems like it will be a fun one--the bride-to-be is cool and extra laid-back about it all). Maybe I'll go with my current inspiration and find something with ruffles:
Art deco looks are nice too:
