Quintessentially Seattle


As my co-worker says today I look "totally Seattle, I work in an office and am cute" chic. I really heart today's outfit a lot and kinda feel a little 50's cum 80's in it (Grease-like, as it were)! Just kinda grabbed something that I thought would work for my hectic dayof work, mani/pedi, massage and then dinner with the mama & seestor (OK, well when I put it that way it really doesn't SEEM hectic, but trust me there will be a lot of running around...).

Last night's experiment of yoga and then running to a play worked out better than expected and I got there with plenty of time. And Yankee Tavern was definitely worth the (semi-)rush. The show was as conspiratorial as expected and just as mysterious, too. The cast was really great, all around, but Charles Legget as Ray, the conspiracy theorist constantly conspiritorializing (made THAT word up) to everyone around him, totally stole the show. Selfish, self-aggrandizing and totally caught up in the relatively insane world of his mind. It was a ridiculously strong performance.

There was this great moment early on where Ray is wandering around the tavern talking on his phone on-air on a radio talkshow and as he walks by the lone female character, Janet, he steals the newspaper from her and walks into the bathroom still arguing without even realizing she might have been using it. Talk about quickly establishing character. Toward the end of the show I got a little bit "Uh oh, please don't make this all sappy", but Dietz refrained and the end totally redeemed itself. Catch it's last weekend, if you can!

Today, I am wearing my bdg dark denim skinnies from UO, grey striped Bebe shirt and vintage Nine West grey heels with rabbit fur patch on the bow in front. I also grabbed my Express silver cuff and my grey Fossil boyfriend sweater (it's cold now, so...).

Seriously, LOVE these shoes. They're one of those things that I own and LOVE and never wear enough. They feel like they were made for my feet and they fit me perfectly. The heel is only about 2" too, so they are totally comfy and walkable (although I wore my flip-flops for the walk since I needed them for my pedi anyways...). I always put them on and think "why don't I wear these more often?". Seriously, comfy & cute & chic & vintage? They are rocking! LOVES!

  1. I have these shoes and I wore them until they literally fell apart (which took years). I wish I had kept the shoebox because I want to find the style number and try to buy them again on eBay or wherever. If all else fails I'll get them custom made. Love love love dem cat ball shoez!
