Outfit: Purple Love and New Boots

Greetings Fashion Pad Readers,

Welcome back from the weekend! I hope you guys had a fun and/or relaxing few days. I'm still a little tired but there's nothing I can do about it. Unfortunately you can't catch up on sleep :-( I'll try to take a nap or something when I get home from work......oh wait, I forgot, I need to go grocery shopping or I won't be eating (trying to abstain from takeout). I have a few Christmas parties coming up and ya girl needs to look right in these dresses. I mean, who complains about their weight then goes and purchases a fitted AND cutout dress??? I swear I'm so ridiculous. But, I do have the option to workout with some pole dancing classes. They produce rather swift results so maybe they'll provide a little short term help. We'll see.

Yesterday, after church, I went home to my mother's house to visit. My family stays a little over an hour away which, for a momma's girl, is heaven. But for my independent side, they live far enough that they have to call before they come ;-) It works out well. I received my new boots I purchased from Steve Madden last week and I decided to wear them out for a test drive. We went shopping so I thought I could really get a feel for their utility.

 My new boots remind me that I'm a little bowlegged. I tried for years to correct that. You know how evil kids can be. LOL! I love roomy tops. Fashion experts say that they make you appear larger but I don't care.

I love these jeans. No matter if I gain 5lbs or lose 5lbs they fit just right. It's marvelous!

Please excuse the hair.....it was very windy!

I love lace-up boots. These are the perfect height and they have a little rugged feel to them. Very versatile styling options for these babies.

These boots are cute and practical, however, my left foot was uncomfortable after wearing the boots for about 2 1/2 hrs. It wasn't pain....just discomfort. But either way, I didn't like that. We'll see if this was just the "breaking in" period.

The dang wind was stubborn. It would not let up. This photo shoot took less than 2 minutes because we couldn't see with the wind blowing our hair in our faces. I don't know how my niece got any pics. On second thought, that little woman probably just aimed and clicked. LOL!
