"Mommy, you're wearing skates!" That's what Princess Sparkles said to me when she saw me wearing my new pair of Jeffrey Campbell wedge booties (thanks to my sister, Polka Dots, for the belated birthday gift!). I had to laugh because it actually didn't occur to me that they looked like skates but once she said it I realized she was right.

| My "Skates" - Jeffrey Campbell |
Today's theme is "arm party," thanks to Pretty Shiny Sparkly's "Bloggers Do It Better" challenge. I'm really excited to be trying my hand at bangles galore (speaking of Bangles, in elementary school I did a dance to "Walk Like an Egyptian" for a talent show...but anyway). I've always wished I was a better accessorizer, but find myself usually keeping it simple. So this was a lot of fun for me to try!
Because I was heavily accessorized, I decided to keep the outfit simple with neutral colors. I was thrilled to wear my lace jacket again and finally got to wear a french dress (literally from France) my good friend, Fedora, gave me in a pile of hand-me-downs. The purse was thrifted by my mom, Fair Isle, and the belt was only $.50 at a local store!!!

To answer your question you left on my blog about how I've met readers: most of the people I meet that have read my blog go to my school. Otherwise, it's been at blogger meet-ups, and other events in Austin with a high-volume of bloggers. It's weird that someone recognizes me from a photo I posted (I don't do a lot of outfit posts because I am too self-conscious).
Anywho.
Your lace jacket is very pretty. And all the accessories--fun stuff!
Take care.
Those "skates" are fierrrrrce, girl!! I love how you rock these. I also have to compliment you on your crazzzzyy nail polish. I'm so glad that I am not the only one who can't stick with just one color on all 10 nails!

Oh, I love this tough look on you. And I even like the skates. Which reminds me, I swear that I saw actual skate shoes in one of the magazines for fall - I want to say it was D Squared's line. Have you seen them? Crazy.
I am sooo in love with this lace jacket! I remember you wore it on lace day for EBEW if I remember correctly. The boots are super cool!
If Princess Sparkles thinks they look like skates, that's a compliment because roller skating is the most fun thing ever!
Oooh love those boots! :D

Looove seeing items I can't imagine possibly wearing (that lace jacket) in your fashion posts b/c they're always so fantastic! You're rocking it, girl. Also ... here's to the bracelet sleeve trend that seems to be here. Totally digging it.
If only I comuld get away with high wedges I'd so get some Jeffrey Campbell ones. So sorry yesterday didn't work omit- they were an hr and a half late so it was for the best, but I would so much rather have been hanging out with you!
I am so jealous of your jeffrey campbell's!

You look amazing. I love the pairing of the boots with the beautiful lace jacket.
i really love that lace jacket it's so cute!

I like the lace jacket, but your grey dress is the rock star of this outfit- I love it! It's a really pretty shade of grey and I also just like the style of it. I have this old American Apparel dress from about 4 years ago that has a similar style that I wear all of the time, to the point that it got embarrassing because its in so many pictures haha.
Yay for Jeffrey Campbell! Now let's see those Sperrys. :) Thank you so much for the support. I've "met" so many interesting people (like you) that I never would have thanks to blogging and I'm very grateful.

P.S. LOVING the bigger pictures.
You know how we feel about arm candy...LOVE your stack!! The cuff your mom made is so nice!

That lace jacket is so pretty, I love how you're wearing it! And the arm party definitely rocks! I don't have very many bracelets--mine would just be an arm "quiet night in".
Nice Nails.. and the shoes are beautiful ...

Love it!! I'm in love with lace these days, and your accessories make it even better! :)

Man, that's a whole lot of arm party. Reminds me of those martial arts movies where the arm bracelets are used for self defense. One place not to wear them--live theater. You can't imagine how much noise they can make with the slightest motion!
I love the idea of an arm party...I need to start getting in on these fun link-ups, I think!
Those boots are maybe the most fantastic boots ever...your sister does good work :)
you look adorable!
you look fab! I need to ear multiple bracelets....it's not like i dont have a drawer full lol
lovely outfit, especially the lace jacket!!! that so cute of princess sparkles to actually resemble the shoes to skates!!!
jos xx
Love this outfit! The shoes are awesome, and so is Princess Sparkles!

You look great! I love those boots and your lace jacket is oooo-soooo pretty! (I have a similar version, different brand though!)
This is my favorite of yours! I really like the bigger pictures. You look stunning! That lace jacket is just the essence of pretty, and the boots lend a masculine touch.

What I feel is that Jeffrey Campbell boots are still going to be in style since they are still very popular and not very women are complaining about his designs. Although they are not as classy as the top end brands, they do go well with a number of outfits. There are many styles you can choose from and each design has a different story. They may not be the best of the lot, but are certainly tough and bold, which is a good thing for any woman who wants to make a statement with her outfit.
Screen superb and actually helps them understand the subject better. Moving Perth
Absolutely love the skates, I mean the boots.haha. Your collection of bracelets are great too. Love the outfit!
Cheers,
