10 days of school left until break means busy busy busy! I have done a fairly good job of not overspending on myself, but did pick up this cozy knit buttondown during Anthro's BF promo. I have bought LOTS of presents for the hub! I am hoping Anthro will do some good after-Christmas discounts so I'm trying to hold off on any more clothes spending until then.

Apparently I was feeling cords + tanks + cardigans this week. I exercised significant self-restraint with Anthro's Black Friday promotion and only got one shirt. I'm going through a "damn I have a lot of clothes" phase so it is probably time to cool it for a while!

I decided this weekend that I'm not wearing the recovery boot anymore. OVER.... IT!   Fortunately I went to the doctor this morning and it's all good. I'm not back to 100% yet but I can go about my daily life. I just have to use common sense. Still staying away from wedges for a bit but at least I can wear normal shoes!

Blending In

From a distance, the stupid walking boot actually blended in with my other boot. It is so incredibly cold but so far, too dry for snow. We may get some this weekend but it isn't expected to stick. In other words, it isn't going to do me any good by giving us a snow day!

How many stupid foot and shoe sayings can I come up with before this whole kerfuffle is over?  We shall see. Next week is supposed to get COLD so the beast (recovery boot) may actually blend in a little better. I'm not looking forward to a 30 degree drop in temperatures, but I am looking forward to tights and sweaters. Stay frosty!

Okay, there is no blue shoe anywhere in this post. But I did manage to get my feet in two real boots on Monday. I didn't last the whole day, but it is progress. On the shoe topic, I am continuing to be incredibly impressed with my purchases from Shoeland. No problem with wearing them (it? I guess) the whole day even when I was on my feet and all day.

Look #1 reminds me vaguely of what I'd sport in 1992, except the dress would be longer, the boots would be Doc Martens and I'd have a flannel shirt tied around my waist. Look #2 has a definite Flower Child vibe going on. Still sporting the one-shoe look while my foot heals.

Why yes, I am only wearing one shoe in these pictures. I have a broken foot that currently has to be cased in a disgusting walking boot when I'm out of the house. I'm dressing around it as best I can, but it is not pretty. Finding a shoe to balance it out on the other foot has been a challenge. I have to say that Shoeland has been a pleasant surprise for me, considering they only use synthetic materials. I now have three pairs from them and they are dirt cheap, comfy, and pretty cute. Someday I may be able to wear cute wedges again, but today is not that day.

I am currently sitting with a split on my foot because I decided it would be a super swell idea to hop about like a maniac to House of Pain's "Jump Around" at the 7th grade dance. Fortunately I got a few pics this week pre- moronic injury. I will do my best to dress around my damn foot, shades of my surgery 4 years ago. I may or may not document any of these attempts.

I can't believe the 4th week of school is over. Really we've only had two full five-day weeks. Still. I sort of feel like it should still be summer vacation.


We had an unseasonable cold spell yesterday/today, considering that from a calendar POV, it is still summer. At least I got to break out some layers. This knit blazer was marked down to only $19 !!! when I did my summer shopping spree at Nordstrom. And these $19 shoes got me tons of compliments. Next week we go back into the 80s so I'll make sure to wear my summery items while I can.

Week two in the bag. It's nice to end it with a three-day weekend. Temps continue to be on the warm side. It is still really summer, so I guess that is to be expected. Many things are still in my closet with tags on, waiting for more comfortable weather!

Summer vacation is over, which means I have a reason to crawl out from under my rock and put on real clothes again. The weather this summer was uncharacteristically mild, but now that there are 1200 children in one building, it is HOT HOT HOT! I am doing my best to stay professionalish while not roasting.

Rising temperatures, a pedicure, and a few coats of self-tanner mean that skirts, dresses, and sandals are back in rotation. This is also the time of year when I realize there are only 29 !! school days left, and I need to dig deep in my closet and avoid the shopping urge.

And this about documents weather this time of year in Oklahoma. Snowstorm? Highs in the 80s? Chance of rain? Yes to all of the above. I think now that spring is official, we are *probably* past snow, but other than that, who knows? We had a couple of niceish days with highs in the 70s but really windy. Now we're back down to the 50s for about a week.

On another note, the 9 week countdown begins until summer break!
