New Hairstyle!

I am going to get my hair cut tonight.  This is kind of what I had in mind.  It'll be a lot of work straightening and styling but I'm ready for a change and a little work in the name of a new style won't be so bad.

I had a straight style in the spring.  And then it got humid, and hot, and more humid and straightening my hair every day would have been the style choice of a crazy person.  Ironically the day I got that haircut and style it was pouring and today it is pouring again.  I hope that isn't a sign the wet, wet weather is coming back.  That style with crazy curls is not what I'm looking for.

Madden Girl Raleigh Boots


I called these boots because I couldn't stand to write booties on the header.  booties.  Seriously, that's an awful word for a grown woman's shoe.  I picked these up for cheep cheep at marshalls over the weekend and I'm a little bit torn.  Madden Girl is, to say it plainly, a cheap brand.  I know they're not leather and I know they probably won't be that comfortable over long periods.  I still think they're adorable and I'm talking myself into keeping them for slow days with lots of sitting pretty.  

It might not be so obvious in the picture but there is something charming about the lines.  Something a little forties about the overall cut.  They cover my tattoos and if I can fake enough of a tan maybe I can get away without wearing the now requisite hose* or tights.  

There will at some point be an entire post about being required to wear pantyhose to work but I don't have the stomach for it right now.  Suffice to say I bought the most ridiculous tights I could find to push the issue and I'll be showing some of them up here shortly.  

Either way, let me know what you guys think of these shoes?  Is it worth buying adorable shoes that you know might cause problems and not last forever just because they're adorable?
