a great pair of heels makes me go from frumpy to fab: a break from thesis-writing

"but sam, you're already tall!"

well then i'll just be an amazon!! i wear heels because it makes my proportions all right.

the fluff in my middle turns to workable curves in all the right places, or at least it does in my head :)

my obsession has been the little black boot, and i'm on the prowl.

take a look at these beauts! only $23 at gojane.com



and these, too!! only $19



these are the kind of heels that scare you away. but do not get scared! they don't seem practical or wearable, just something you see in advertisements. try them on and you'll see... it makes a LOT more sense with the right styling! they are totally wearable and a fun piece to play around.

the key to styling these is to keep it simple! a nice pair of skinny leg, mid-to-dark wash jeans and a barely-fitted v-neck tee will do the trick!!

think these items: jeans, loose tank, and bootie trio would look amazing. (substitute black bootie from above in place of these skyscraper heels)

or this jean, vee, bootie trio!

my goal is to find something like these in the same price range before the show tomorrow night. impossible? hopefully not. i didn't want to venture into the black friday craziness today, and i've been holed-up in my parents house writing my senior thesis. hopefully they'll still have good sales tomorrow and things won't be horribly picked-through!

ah yes, that's it... my reward for finishing my research paper is a saturday morning shopping outing. wish me luck (on the thesis and the shopping :)

t-giving was great, update on next semester to come!
