The Abner Bootie

Hello lovelies!

I recently purchased the absolutely stunning Jeffrey Campbell Abner Booties from Nasty Gal after lusting over them for what felt like an eternity... what better graduation gift to give to yourself, right? I have to say, as intimidating as these bad boys look they're actually much more comfortable than I had expected. My feet weren't all blistered up and the platforms make it less strenuous on my arches, which is a definite plus for me considering I typically dress for comfort (even if that wasn't what had initially attracted me to the shoes in the first place). These shoes are my babies and because of that, they absolutely needed their very own place in the Internet... and thus, my blog post:

I guess you could say that I went for a lumberjack-chic kind of look, here. Flannel is a mainstay in my wardrobe. I live and breathe for plaid. I try to incorporate it in my looks year-round, which of course isn't always so easy especially when the weather here gets really hot and humid. When I came across this flannel dress, I knew it had to be mine. Since then, it's quickly become one of my favorite pieces in my closet. So far I've worn it with my Abner booties (duh), black heeled booties, combat boots, and hi-top Converse/Vans. I fully intend on doing another post about this dress where I doll it up a little bit. I'll be sure to keep you all posted!

Being 5'1" is no joke and I've actually only worn these bell bottom beauties this one time because they're too long on me. I have been meaning to get these hemmed (along with countless other clothing items that need tailoring) but life has hit me with some unexpected twists and turns, as it often does, and I haven't quite gotten around to that yet. Luckily, these boots give me an extra 5 or 6 inches, so I was finally able to bring these pants the attention they rightfully deserve. If you haven't heard of Gypsy Warrior, I would highly suggest that you do so. They've become my favorite store; from clothes, to shoes, to jewels, to interior décor, and so so SO much more... they can do no wrong.

Thanks for reading! Stay posted for more posts this week.
