Little Red Driving Gloves

Happy Hump Day! So, this is my first official outfit post since returning from vacation. I was all excited to get dressed this morning, and wouldn’t you know it was raining outside. Damn you, nature! I was DETERMINED to make it work, so I set up my tripod under the cover of the front porch and snapped away.  My range of motion was non-existent — if I stepped too far to the left or right, I was completely out of the frame Lol… but I thought the pictures came out GREAT!  In retrospect, I remembered that with my new camera, I should be able to take great pictures inside, too. Duh! The rain isn’t going anywhere, so I guess I’ll work on finding a scenic nook somewhere in the house to take pics next time.

Vintage Plaid Blazer (similar but pricey) | Old Navy Turtleneck | Thrifted Belt | Really Old Jeans | Sole Society “Martina” Boots | Carolina Amato Mini Wrist Gloves via Gilt (similar with a bow!) | Nameplate Necklace c/o MyNameNecklace.com

You guys, why am I so white?? Damn!!! The sun hast betrayed me. LOL!!! I really had to fight the urge to photoshop some color into my face. *sigh*

So these “Martina” harness boots are my latest Sole Society purchase!  I have been wanting a pair of harness boots for a while…preferably Frye, but you all know how expensive they are.  I was pretty excited when Sole Society released these for only $59.95.  I only wish they were real leather, but you know what…they really are quite cute. anyway.  The faux leather has a nice grain… they look really great! I am very happy with them.

So, the bad news is my blogging time is going to be interrupted once again next week while I am away for the conference with my job.  I am not even going to pretend like blogging is going to be a possibility while I am there.  I’ll be happy to get a tweet in here and there.  So keep bearing with me. I’ll be back on my regular schedule in a couple weeks.  In the meantime, feel free to flood my inbox with Style Me Friday submissions! Please and thanks!

Thanks for stopping by!! XOXO.
