Maybe Not, Monday: Giddy Up!

I know that the appeal of horses is great:

They can run fast.

They're gorgeous.

They make snort noises.

But that does NOT mean you should channel them into how you wear your heels. These shoes, which have the lovely sticky-up mane along the heel and are definitely velvet too, are not suitable for riding a horse. Nor are they suitable for wearing to work. Nor should you wear them out on Friday night to try and impress your equestrian friends.

I'd like to blame these shoes on Monday, but let's maybe not wear them.

Shop Akira!

Yes, it's getting colder. Pretty soon, we'll all be confined to wearing multiple layers, and the cute little sun dresses that we've been wearing all summer will be moved to the back of the closet. Depressing, right? Well, don't make that switch yet! There is still plenty of warm, sunny days left to wear that cute little dress!

To celebrate the last month of warm weather, I went to Akira to find my current favorite dresses (and one amazing little top).

Maybe Not, Mondays

This week's fashion miss is this shirt.... with smiley-egg boobs.

I can see what they were trying to accomplish here, but unless you're wearing this to IHOP the night after a ridiculously drunken party experience, there is no reason to be wearing this.

The ultra-low V-neck cut really doesn't help either.

So, let's blame this shirt on Monday. But maybe not wear it.

Shirt: Gap

Skirt: Banana Republic

Shoes: R2 (I wish they were mine!)

Bracelet and Earrings: They were a gift

Pencil skirts are classic for a reason. They look great on you whether you're a stick figure or curvy, and the higher cut on this one helps create that hour glass figure!

I'm hesitant to even start on the shoes... because although they are on my feet in this picture, they are not mine, and I cannot have them... so I'd really hate to rave on and on about how great they were, and how little black wedge booties like these are MUST HAVES for fall. But if I started saying things like this I'd just want them even more.

Man, do I want them!
