The All-In-One Post: Dressember #5 Shoe Save #66 & Inspiration Monday

Who knew I was so talented, that I could solve 3 posts in 1???

Why, yes.  I am wearing sunglasses in the house.  I thought it lent more creed to my Inspiration Monday look.

Here is our inspiration photo from the TwoBirds blog.  For more outfits, look here.

If you can’t tell, I was going for the Duff sister on the left, but with a Dressember twist.

Here are my pieces separately.

These boots are Michael by Michael Kors, and I am loving them today, especially because it is cold in San Diego today.

Thankful on Thursdays

Hello Readers!

In the past on this blog, I have done posts on 5 things that make me happy.  I want to continue to focus on things to be thankful for, but to try to do it on a more regular basis.  On that topic I have been thinking of doing regular posts on Thursdays called… wait for it… “Thankful on Thursdays.”  This can be things that I am truly thankful for or maybe some weeks it might be a bit less serious, and just be things that make me feel happy.

This week I am feeling good about boots that work with my calf size. 🙂  You might be thinking that boot calf size is nothing to be thankful for, but God has gifted me with very generous calves, and I am trying to embrace those babies.  These boots make me feel better about myself, that maybe I am not a total freak of nature. 😉  I feel thankful for designers who take all women into consideration when they make a boot.

This is the Michel Kors “Calista.”  It is super comfy and warm, as it is lined with faux fur.  I like that this design can be dressed up, but it is also casual enough for every day.  I like it best with skinny jeans or a casual skirt.

 This is the Stuart Weitzman “Bootiful.”  This amazing boot is made of stretchy suede and fits nicely over many sizes of calf.  I own it in black and red because it is such a useful boot.  Due to the sleek design however, this boot is not good over pants, but is fantastic with all kinds of dresses and skirts.

This is the Charles David “Curve.”  This boot does fit over my calf, but I do admit, it is the tightest fit I own.  Sometimes a girl just has to suffer through a little calf-hug all day in order to get into such a fabulous boot.

So there it is.  Boots.  They make me happy just looking at them here, and even more so when they are on my calf-ishly gifted legs.

Thanks for visiting!

Shoe Challenge #50 Steve Madden Boots

These are Steve Madden boots.  I am in my sister-in-law’s house, and wore these out and about in Seattle.

I am sorry about the brightness of the flash here, but I wanted to show the fabulous zipper.  The boots are dark grey leather, even though they look a bit like rubber here.  I love how comfy and versatile they are.

Pair #50!  Want to see more?  Just go here. 🙂
