getting high

by Karen Blanchard
3 February 2011
Army jacket: Zara <<<—- wore it with a lace dress before here. Striped jumper: Topshop (worn like a slouchy dress before—> here). Jeans: Uniqlo. Shoes: Pelle Moda. Bag: Vintage Coach. Fedora & black poison holder ring: Trash & Vaudeville. Scarf: Love Quotes. Hair thing: Spare suede tassle I had lying around
***
A few days ago, before the ice storm came (sounds like the start of a story book), I braved the pavements in these heels. I knew the snow was piled on the sides and I’d be taking a cab where I was going (and back) so that was justification enough to get my platform fix.

ps. Thank you for your encouraging comments on the last post, twitter, and facebook about the ASOS final. I’m staying positive because of you.

    Purse n boots – ha ha!! i know, skillzzzzz 😉

    LadyShonuga – they do???

    Vanessa – no problem.

    Dee – for high heels they are actually very good. Its the platform that helps take away from the height. If that wasn’t there, forget it. I personally would wear these for a night out because of the platform.
