Outfit 2! This was my ensemble for P's opening night. It was a great time, the show was wonderful, we stayed out too late, I was really tired at work the next day and it was totally worth it.

I'm not a big fan of heels. I realize their multiple benefits to posture + leg-lengthening and I acknowledge that their place in wardrobe design is a high one. I've just always had a weakness for the gamine vibe of a ballet flat and, consequently, never mastered heels. I generally look like a young girl trying to walk in her mother's shoes when I attempt them {in all honesty, my mom prefers flats}.

But a special gift-giving treasure angel recently gave me these barely-used mary-jane heels by Born -- and wow, am I lucky. They are so sturdy, so squishy & so wonderful. I feel like I won the heel lottery. I actually wore these heels from 7:30am to 2:00am and my feet weren't sore at all.

Miraculous!

In the {Citrus} Navy

I love this dress. Love. It's comfortable, it's cute, it's flirty. It's perfect. I got it in Nice, France this summer and the first time I ever wore it was a few days later in Milan. See what I mean? Perfect.

Thursday comes at some cost -- overslept by 90 minutes, literally FLEW around the house and down the road, made it on time (!) and then my boss was out sick anyway. Life is hilarious.

Tonight we are going out for a joint bday dinner with another couple, they are also giving us an original painting that was commissioned for Peanut's bday over the summer. It's of a photograph he took upon which he is basing a feature film project. I'll post pics of the painting.
