old school









I generally don't dress head to toe in one genre, so to speak, but I couldn't help myself with these suspenders. I felt like a silent film star in this outfit. And then I was listening to big band/swing music at home and reeaaally wished I could be transported back to the 1920's. Just for a bit.

Also I finally get to debut these ankle boots on here, thanks to the unseasonably warm weather we've been having. Why do I have to wait for nice weather to wear these, you may ask? They are boots, after all, and I should be able to wear them in the winter, right? No. The bottom of these suckers are smooth as a baby's bottom, causing me to look like a bumbling idiot if I try to wear them in any type of snowy or icy condition. I tried it once. Could hardly walk. Soooo...now that the balmy temps have melted away all the snow and ice...here they are.
