Day 4-- Boots

Today's topic of Discussion.

'Fashion' magazine's "Must Have" item for the past two months.

Thigh high boots.



Now think about it, these just don't seem very practical, or wearable. I mean, knee high shoes, maybe. But thigh high? It seems like a bit much.

And consider this, how many people can you really see wearing these. I mean besides people who are 5"9 and size two. Like me for example.

Because really, unless your legs are the length of the CN Tower it will take a good couple inches from your height.

Now I'm not trying to be mean.

So I went and tried some on.

The first pair were flats, similar to this.



Sure the shoe itself is cute, but it certainly doesn't add to my 5"1 height.

So I tried on a heel, kinda like this.



Sure I looked taller. I also looked like a um "working woman" (but not in the good way)
Which wasn't quite the look I was going for.

And even if I was, most of my skirts are knee length, therefore high boots just don't work to well.

The Moral of the story?

Thigh High boots just don't work, unless you are a model, or standing on a street corner.

Day 1-- Leather

Hello world.

Today is Day one of my 3 week journey through fashion.

My mission, find my perfect style for the fall season.
The deadline, the first day back to school.

The trick? Everything is inspired by my trusted fashion magazines. Elle, Teen Vogue, Fashion, and Seventeen.

So today, I will be investigating a recent fad. The leather jacket.



Yeah, that's right, anyone who has been reading these magazines must have seen the excessive amount of leather jackets right?

It was number four in Elle's 'Hit List'.
Teen Vogue's "Urban Chic Must Have"
It just goes with the whole "femme fetal" thing that invaded the fall runway.

Luckily I like this look. So I put it to the test.
I went out and bought myself a new leather....well pleather, jacket, for $30 from Stitches.


And I must say, I am thoroughly in love with it!

Now, try to imagine a harsh black leather biker jacket placed with a hot pink bubble dress. Pull up the sleeves, add a few bangles, and you got one sexy outfit.

And with that in mind, I went out and bought new shoes to match.



My father described them as "Peter Pan with a Motorcycle".
Translation: I get to be eternally young AND I have a motorcycle.

How can you go wrong?

So for all of you afraid of going out in a leather jacket and a cocktail dress, remember the lesson of the day.

Leather is your friend.
