all black everything

When I was in college, my friends always told me I only wore black. I guess I thought I was from New York and not Cali back then.

I fully embrace color now, but there is still something so chic about head to toe black. (why are hands on hip posses always so cheesy looking...lol)
I've had this dress for a few years now, and it hasn't seen the outside of my closet much, and I am really not sure what made me whip it out to wear to class of all places, but I did :)
The only bit of "color" I wore that day was this trench I got in Paris a while ago.
I don't wear it much either because I want to get it tailored, but it did the trick for the day.
I realized I never gave you a formal introduction to the world's most comfortable booties! I should have bought two because at that rate I am wearing them, the heel will be worn out before 2011.


wearing: morgan de toi trench, bcbg max azria dress, aldo booties
worn to: class

  2. I have been looking EVERYWHERE for booties similar to these! Causal enough to wear daily, but chic with a heel so I can wear them with a dress. But the price....it's too close to Christmas for me to splurge on myself.

  3. This is such a super chic look. As for the boots, you may want to keep a good shoe repair shop on speed dial (=P) and get those resoled ASAP!

  25. I love Aldo but I hate that they don't carry half sizes. At least not in the shoes I like. An 8 is too small and a 9 is toooo big. Love these booties though!
