Purple Mountains Majesty

Adding a little spice to my standby grey cowl neck dress with some sheer purple tights - you can't tell very much in the photo, but they're kind of shimmer. I can't wait to get my new booties in the mail, these will be PERFECT with them!

Dress: H&M

Tights: H&M

Belt: Vintage from Grandma

I succumbed...

So I finally succumbed to the online shopping snowstorm binge. I spent last night perusing Urban Outfitter's sales, and came across two things that I've had my eye on forEVER. 

deep blue/purple suede booties - I know they're impractical in the snow, but I've been wanting a pair for the summer & I can't wait for them to come in the mail!

instead of the heart shape sunnies I mentioned in my last post, I sent out for a pair of these clear plastic round frames. I'm hoping they'll look ok on my face shape, but i LOVE clear frames and I think these will be amazing come springtime...

Heart Sunnies

After seeing The Glamourai sporting these sunnies on her blog, I've been eyeing them in black on Fred Flare. I like these better than the ones at Urban Outfitters because they're very subtly thicker on the outside rim instead of consistently the same width all the way around...

I've been sporting the same oversized cat's eye pair since my beloved purchased-in-Italy Wayfarers fell on the sidewalk & cracked in September, and I'm thinking maybe some hearts are just the thing to jazz up my sunnies a little bit. I'm already making the freshmen at my college a little uncomfortable with my cropped hair & faux-fur coat, so why not go all out, right?

So what do you all think? At $11, the price is DEFINITELY good, but Fred Flare's shipping is a little high - almost $8 unless you can pick up the purchase in the store (I'm not visiting New York anytime soon...)
