Feeling Spotty

I've never been big on animal prints, but lately I've been coming around.  Last year I got these leopard loafers, which I've actually worn a decent amount.

I try to think of them as a neutral, but I'm not going to lie, I mostly wear them with black and camel.  I am thinking about working my way up to larger doses, but in a more abstract way, perhaps.  I love how this skirt is like a polka dot with a nod to leopard.

What do you think - is animal print too intense?  Should I stick to my loafers, or are you like my husband, who thinks even they are way too much? :)

Shoes I Like

So I have a bazillion things to post about, but they all require me to either take photos, or find photos somewhere in the 17 places I keep photos (need to work on my organizational skills). So here are a few photos of lovely shoes from, once again, the Sartorialist. I need to get a few basics for the spring, so my shoe wish list is a pair of nude pointy-toed stilettos (to replace my most beloved pair of shoes that finally kicked the bucket) and navy flats, so I can fully embrace navy this spring. What's on your shoe wish list?

Roll with it?

I've been a big fan of the the Sartorialist for a long time now, and sometimes I am inspired by his photographs, and sometimes I just have to shake my head and say, "That's fashion?" But then other times I'm indecisive and can't decide what to think. It's been a while since I've taken a look, so I was catching up on a bunch of photos, and came across two similar looks that I feel like I like, but will probably just look ridiculous on me - the rolled up skinny jeans with booties and socks:

I just bought these booties:
which would work perfectly, and I have skinny jeans that I usually just wear in the summer, because I only like them rolled up a bit, so it's totally doable. I might give it a try tomorrow and see how it goes. What do you think, yea or nay?

I Just Fell A Little Bit in Love...

The Shoe Lover in Me Goes Ahhhhhhh

I've been trying to be really good about shoes lately, and I've even whittled down my collection to 21 pairs, which is about half of what it was 9 months ago. To justify that a little bit, I usually only spend $20-$30 per pair, so I'm definitely not as bad as some people. But I think I may be making a trip to DSW and see if I can find these beauties.
