For the last few weeks that I've been mobile(ish), I've only been able to wear my big black riding boots. They're one of 2 or 3 pairs of shoes I have that are relatively flat, and they also covered up my disfigured leg + ankle. It was getting really tiresome, having to plan every outfit around what goes with those darn boots! Such was the case last Sunday when we made a big trip to Powells.
I am in love with this new blouse - I had it custom made here and it's pretty perfect. Blouses are tricky for me, because if they're right in the shoulders and waist, they often (okay, always) gape terribly in the bust. I suppose this is a very feminine problem to have, but it's a thorn in the side of a girl that loves blouses! I fashioned the bow-tie out of an old sash I had around. I'm a big fan of the long-bow. I haven't had the courage yet to wear the really long style of bow-tie, in which the ties hang down to your hip-region (if you're having trouble visualizing, I KNOW I have a photo from the 20's or 30's of a girl wearing one). I'll have to poke around for that photo.
See you soon!
