Outfit Of The Yesterday: Floral & Stripes

{♫:  The Girl & the Robot – Röyksopp ft. Robyn}

First things first–thanks so much to The Budget Fashionista for featuring my blog (along with 14 other great petite-focused blogs) last week. Very cool, thank you so much!

 

And on to everything else. Happy Halloween, you guys! Are you guys doing anything fun tonight to celebrate?  I often work Halloween night (if it falls on a weekday evening, that is) to let some of my childbearing co-workers spend the evening with their kiddos grabbing candy, and it is probably best that way lest any innocent chihuahuas end up inappropriately dressed as pumpkins and hot dogs. But nevertheless, I hope YOU are having fun! And here are a few photos of chihuahuas inappropriately dressed as pumpkins and hot dogs (circa 2008), anyway:

And an outfit from a few days ago. The weather has warmed up again, especially during the day, so I am trying to get all my short-skirt-cravings out of my system before the bitter cold officially hits. If there is one thing that J Crew does well, I always think that it’s jewelry and shoes–and the J Crew Everly Suede Pumps definitely do not disappoint.  I picked them up recently in “chrome green” (which is more of a vibrant aqua in person) and the suede is soft; the 3.5″ heel fairly comfortable for walking and wearing, too. If you’re interested in grabbing them too, I think that they run TTS–and I took my usual size that I always wear in J Crew heels:
