Tales of a Wannabe Fashionista

It's been awhile since I've posted a Fashionista piece on TGL but my new Patchuli Floc platform wedges by Melissa have re-inspired me to dive back in.

Heritage Row has nailed, yet again. I took one look at these navy blue and white (technically a pale  yellow, but I like to think of them as a sexy nod to my PSU roots) beauties during my boutique stop on Saturday and stuttered "Jenny. Me. Mine. Feet. Pretty. Now..."

A quirky and comfortable mix of rubber (like fancy jellies!) and velvetly cloth, I've managed to keep my normal office pace going without any ouch-owie-oofda-eeks that heels have been known to give me by mid-day (and by mid-day I mean mid-morning. I am, at heart, a flats girl). My coworker asked me "Is it me, or have you traded in all your shoes for super heels lately? You're so tall now." Well Scotty, my new Marketing role at Weebly requires much less racing around/up and down stair action so yes, I have been rocking some pretty high wedges and boots. (I may have also added, jokingly: "I just read Lean In and am using the height to confidently assert my new found feminist power and be...well...physically larger than my male colleagues." To which he blushed and said "Oh. Ok. I feel like I need to get heels, too.") Ha!

Special thanks to Jenny for stopping by my house to pair my new babies with a handful of outfits already in my closet! It's like they were always meant to be mine ;)

In Gratitude,

Trish
