Holy Grail - Just Fab Boots

If I was a boot, I would be these boots.

As you can see, they are worn. These go with everything. I have worn them with jeans or with dresses. I can be dressed up like a grown up and then throw these on and instantly feel like me. 

Just Fab is a monthly subscription type website. You sign up and every month, they send you a personalized boutique of shoes. You can choose to skip the month, or you can buy a pair. These were one of the two pairs I bought immediately. (The second pair haven't been worn yet. The are six inch blush peep toes. The complete opposite of these.)

These are simple and studded and super comfy. And they make the sound that heels make when you walk in them. I love that sound. I feel like hot shit when I'm wearing shoes that make noise. I feel like that is them talking and drawing attention to them. And they deserve it.

This Moment's Outfit

Today is my work Christmas party. It is a semi-formal event with an open bar. I've gone for a lot of looks over the years. Other than the first year, my hair has been styled in a pony tail, due to the amount of dancing that takes place. 

This year, a friend came over and we tried on every dress we owned and drank wine and danced to a girl power playlist on Spotify. You know, a typical Friday night with your girlfriends.

She had this purple dress and made me try it on. And I kind of fell in love with it. It brought a little bit of attention to my normally flat chest. It has a zipper close on the front (a detail I love.) It was simple and my one of my favourite colors. It makes me look small in the right places and sits on my hips perfectly. AND it has POCKETS! (I really am my father's daughter. All about the pockets!)

Next I had the real hard decision to make. The shoes. What shoes?!

Well the dress is simple. I have about half a dozen pairs of the exact same shoes, but in different colours. I didn't like how any of them looked with this dress. My go-to black heels didn't really go with this dress. And then I found them.

I am a member of Just Fab. I forgot to skip it one month and had a credit available. So I thought I might was well use it. I wanted an everyday kind of wedge for summer. I default to the high stiletto heel, that I can't walk in. Wedges, however, are a little more secure when paired with my lack of grace. 

When I couldn't decide, my friend cast the deciding vote, and I got these babies. They are nude and subtly patterned with snake skin. The color doesn't take away from the dress, and the pattern adds just a little bit more to the dress. And they are funky, which I have to have a bit of when I am in a room full of people old enough to be my parents. I need a little bit of my own style. 

(Side note: These shoes go perfectly with the dress I posted about in my last This Moment's Outfit.)

I have not decided my my make up. I am thinking I will use the Urban Decay Naked Smoky palette. Something simple, but dark. With a nude lip. My hair will probably be down and end up in a ponytail.
