specific heights

by Karen Blanchard
13 July 2010
Dress: H&M. Belt: Topshop (bought yrs ago). Shoes: Jessica Simpson. Shades: Urban Outfitters. Cycling shorts: (unseen). Stone ring: YSL. Gold bang: LowLuv/Erin Wasson courtesy of Tobi. Cuff: London street vendor (Notting Hill market). Nail pendant: Courtesy of Fashionology. Long pendant & fringe bag: Foley & Corinna vintage.
A few days ago I went to dinner and gave the JS heels a whirl (took quick pics outdoors first). These buggers are so flipping high but the platform does make them comfortable.
Don’t get me wrong. I wouldn’t do a cart wheel in them, but for pavement stomp factor – they work.
I think this is the first time I’ve shown me wearing them outdoors. Last time I posted them was here.

ps. I’m digging around at home for my receipt for the boots below. I bought them on clearance and the price got slashed again. Arrghhh! I need a price adjustment but where is the bloody receipt???

    You & the entire look=Just plain Gorg! No matter the comfort I could not walk around in them as I am already almost 5′ 10 and I get enough people stating ” your/she’s tall” when wearing flats!

    WOW both of you for such amazing shots, yet again! Great editing too. Michael seems to feel you perfectly well, and when to capture this exact step or moment. Just curious, how many photos do u guys take in average for every post?

    oh and the outfit is of course beautiful, the color of the sandals looks great on you and prolongs your legs (yes I’m obsessed with legs hahaha))))) x
