beer opener

Dress: Thrift. Boots: BCBG. Jacket: Zara. Bag: Thrift DIY studded. Shades: Ray Ban
I can sit there and stroke pony hair for literally minutes at a time while pondering random thoughts.
The wedge height on these boots is dramatic but balanced out by the platform, plus like someone said recently, you can also open a beer bottle with them (joking!).
Next time I wear them again with socks though, I’ll make sure that they peek out at the top. When it gets colder, I’ll wear these with skinnies, a fur-like coat and oversized scarf to stomp around in. (I had a scarf on with this outfit but didn’t include it for these shots).
The dress I bought from a church thrift shop and I belted it with an old H&M belt that I (literally) removed from a store mannequin because it was the last one. Good thing the sales assistant didn’t mind because I had zero intentions of leaving it behind.

    i’d sit there and pet my pony haired shoes too.

    and H&M doesn’t mind that you take stuff off of the mannequins…i mean heck, it equals more sales for them! haha

    That dress is a pretty great find! I like the idea of those wedges with a furry coat/scarf… i feel like you need something dramatic on top to balance them out!

    hehe beer opener 😉

    And I’m here, again, to spell-check you. it’s peek…not peak. In this case at least.

    Sarah K – agreed! I had a big scarf with this outfit but neglected to really show it/wear it for these shots.

    Caylee – ha!! ha!! Good point!

    i can’t believe those are BCBG! time to google…

    first time at your blog – great style <3

  31. Karen says:

    Thanks guys for the comments. These boots aren’t for the faint hearted (probably one reason I loved them).

    Anything borderline extreme wedge/platform wise makes my eyes pop out.

    Jessie77 – you’ll be suprised how comfortable they are if you do get them.

  32. The Queen of Hearts says:

    Are these current season BCBG boots? And did you buy them direct from BCBG or from like Saks or something? Thanks!
