Gray day, gray pants

It's a cold day here so I decided to go with cool colors: a pair of gray jeans, black boots and a black and white stripped shirt. 

Sweater from Old Navy, jeans from Ann Taylor Loft

Well, one does still want a hint of color...

I love wearing colorful socks, its like having a fun little secret!

New Year - New Shoes

Zigi Soho Veeta Sandal Flats flats from DSW

I was fortunate enough this Christmas to receive a DSW gift card from my brother, because anyone that knows me knows I love shoes! I strolled into DSW, gift card in hand (plus $25 in coupons!!!), ready to try on shoes, shoes and more shoes, but to my dismay and heartache most of the shelves were empty!! Getting ready for Spring/Summer shoes I suppose. There were still quite a few boots and lots of beautiful high heels (most so high I couldn't fathom walking in them) and a few sandals here and there. I tried on a few pairs of boots but nothing really made my heart skip a beat. I was about to call it a day when I stumbled upon a hidden pair of shoes that made me stop and say hmmm... They were nude and black with lots of sparkly jewels on the toe. I tried them on and I loved them! Unfortunately, I won't be able to wear them for a couple of months - at least not outside the house anyway as I'm a Midwestern gal and it's cold here! I recommend these babies with a pair of boyfriend jeans or black ankle pants.
