So it's raining. I'm sure that's painfully obvious, but I thought I'd point it out anyway. I forgot to bring my umbrella to work, and I just barely managed to dash home before the first raindrops fell. But once they fell....holy cow what a downpour! And of course I pick that moment to go take pictures....

I've been trying to conjure up the perfect outfit for which to debut these new shoes. I love the shield-heel trend that's sweeping the fashion world, but I can't always pull off the sky-high platform look, so I was way excited when I saw these gray gradient patent leather numbers. Super sexy and super fun. And best of all: super comfortable! I had the urge as I was getting dressed to wear only shades of gray, but I fought the urge just enough to wear this shirt, which has only hints of gray. At least it's not totally monochromatic. I love the resulting outfit, and I felt so sexy and noticeable (if that makes sense!) all day.
