The Objects of my Desire

I want a pair of these in every color. But if I had to choose one, I'd choose the silver. No, black. I could really use both, you know!

In The Pink

That's right, I am wearing hot pink patent leather shoes. Mmmm, shiny. I was off to wish a dear friend a happy birthday. I love him like a brother, albeit a step-brother, and I adore his wife. She is a rare treasure; generous, smart, funny, compassionate, kind. Of course, like most great people, she has no idea she is that wonderful.  But back to me, I wore my new silk dress, felt compelled to wear tights since the dress is so short, and felt like I was floating on air! The weather is unseasonably hot with a capital H and until the sun went down and cooled things off, I was a bit warm in this outfit.

No matter, what mattered was that I felt glamorous and looked pretty good for a woman of my advanced age. Here is a photo of the birthday boy and me. We look pretty cozy, don't we?

The Boots Are Made For Walking

So, my fabulous friend hands me a giant box the other day.  Upon opening the box I see the cutest rain boots I have ever seen.  Not just cute, downright adorable.  She then says, "I think you will need these when you go back to the jungle."  I think she's right.  Suddenly, I couldn't wait to get back to the jungle to wear my new protection against snake bites.  In the meantime, I am stoked it's a rainy day so I can be adorable here!  I will put on some black leggings, a sweater and jacket, don my new boots and head out for a walk.  It's nice to have friends who understand the importance of looking cute under any and all circumstances!
