911 Thursday!

Guess what day it isss...the VERY FIRST 911 Thursday! My friend AB and her friend NP were trying to convince me it was Wednesday today. But it's not. Obviously. Today's request isss...

A,
Can you talk about shoes?
LK

Very eloquently put LK, but an extremely important topic nonetheless!
Quick fact: did you know that people's legs have different anatomy depending if they wear heels all the time or not?
NOW YOU KNOWWW!
God, I sound like Bill Nye the science guy...

Anyway, today, I am not going to be talking about the heel. We can save that for another day. Today's topic is then, obviously, the flat!
Ballet flats first. Ballerinas come in a billion different styles, cuts, and textures for every occasion. They are much more appropriate than heels for school and the day. Because the shape is so simple, you can do so much more to them. Try them in deep jewel tones this fall with luxe textures like suede and velvet and crystal embellishments. J. Crew has the ultimate selection.
Oxfords. My favorite shoe on the planet. I own a pair of gray suede oxfords, and I literally wear them every day of my life. The bottom is starting to peel off, that's how much I wear them. They add a polished vintage flair to every outfit, and are great for school. Also, make my feet look really small and skinny. I mean, it's not like I have huge feet to begin with, but they make them look tinyy.
Loafers. They're extremely uncomfortable when you first get them, but once you start wearing them in they get better. I have a pair of loafers (This season's "it" ones actually. They've been in every magazine. I'm rather proud of them :) and after wearing them around the house for awhile, they're super comfortable and I wear them all the time. Wear with a short skirt to contradict the extreme preppiness.
Moccasins. I used to have a great pair of moccasins, but they just fell apart. Make sure that you get a pair with a rubber bottom, or else they have NO lifespan. Also, remember that they stretch. A LOT. So if your size is tight on you when you first get them, don't worry about it.

So, LK, I hope that will help you with your fashion 911! I think I'm going to go to sleep now. I swear, schools should start an hour later on Wednesday so that students get to sleep in a little. Because I'm dying...XO!

ps. pictures not working again! arghhh! I really have no idea what's going on!
**must ask ridiculous computer friend AK. She will have the answer!
