One Two Buckle My Shoe

Before I get to the normal fashion post for Wednesday, I thought I would go ahead and address yesterday's post. Although I said I was going to allow Anonymous comments on my blog I changed my mind. Why did I let Mr. Impotent win? Because I feel like my readers shouldn't be distracted by stupid. I also feel that if this fart blossom can come over and comment, he also sees and can click on other's blogs and stalk them with his crazy antics. So for the sake of my true readers, I am not allowing anony comments unless I instruct otherwise. We read others comments and search for new blogs this way and I don't want people to feel like they can't comment on my blog freely without spam jerks. So you win, Mr. I will never marry an American woman. I hope you and your hand enjoy a life filled with dry chapped skin. 

Okay, now on to the new Tater Queen. I am going to be doing alot of different things this year. No I didn't make resolutions but a list of things I want to accomplish in 2013. One of the things that I want to do is think outside my box a little bit when it comes to fashion. I am a boho kind of girl being a product of the very early 70's. I love classic and whimsical styles and even though I love to look at other people wearing modern type pieces, it's not in my norm to purchase these. It doesn't mean I am going to run out and buy a chevron dress or a a scarf that covers my whole head and I look like the blue turtle neck guy from Fat Albert. It means that I am going to try different things that I normally wouldn't do. Of course this all depends on my diet and exercise plan. So far so good, except I did eat a piece of pizza last night. Oopsie. 

For a few months now my friend Lindsay and I have had much debate about these wedge sneaker shoes. At first, we both hated them and then during Christmas as I was glued to Pinterest like dogshit on a the back of poodle fur, I started seeing some that I really liked. She still wasn't buying it. So, I received a few gift cards for Christmas, did a little research and found a pair that were on sale for $30 smacks. I tried them on, left, texted Lindsay, put it on Instagram and with the overwhelming majority, went back and bit the bullet and bought them. She still wasn't convinced but allowed it. And guess what? I like them. Now do I still like the bright blue ones or ones that look like I should be playing in the NBA? Uh that's a negative, but I don't look like a hoochy moma drug dealer and they are really cuter on.


So, yes, I went shopping in my sweats, no makeup, you should have seen my hair, but I caught a great deal and a cute pair of shoes (or two) that are outside my comfort zone. They do feel somewhat like wearing other wedge type shoes, a little hard, but I put insoles in them and they are comfy. I went outside my normal and it felt great. New beginnings are cool. And these would defiantly kick someone's buttouski. 

Are you taking risks in fashion this year? If so, tell me. Also, follow me on Pinterest. I am a maniac on this site.

Happy Wednesday,
Dusty

  1. I don't think you have anything to "oopsie" about with eating a slice of pizza, could have been worse and been a whole one like me :/
    I saw the shoes when you posted them on Instagram, they look great, I think that heal would kill me though.
    I need to get into Pinterest I have an account but I never go on it.

  2. A Few Thoughts -
    1. Girl - it's your blog - you do what you see fit, and I am here to tell you that every time I see an Anonymous comment pop up on my blog, I get butterflies in my stomach because I expect it to be nasty. Luckily, I have only ever had one negative comment, so that's good.

    2. Things that made me laugh out loud? I hope you and your hand enjoy a life filled with dry chapped skin."

    3. Wedge sneakers. I, too, have gone back and forth on them, and have decided that I need a pair in my life. Specifically, the metallic ones at Target. Stay tuned....

  5. I saw them on Instagram and loved them then and still do. I used to have a pair kinda similar and i fricking wore them out! I dress kinda funky alot so my box is pretty big to step out of. Matter of fact, i even thought maybe this year i would tame it a little. Like less bright colors and more navy or black or more boring. I dont know....

  9. Awesome shoes! I'd probably still fall down and break my neck in them since I have been unable to successfully wear a heel since pregnancy. But cute. I'm dying for some high tops, in a nice neutral non NBA color, of course.

  10. love them. but I am doomed to a life without wedges considering my height and coordination. Doesn't mean I'm gonna sit here and covet the crap outta your hoochie mama wedges.

  11. I just read that dude's comment and I laughed so hard. I can just see the man sitting behind the computer screen. He probably weighs 300+ lbs. He probably has butt zits. And he's probably never gotten any American woman poonanny in all his life. He's just mad. Mad and fat.

  12. At first I didn't like the look of the wedge sneaker, but the look has grown on me. I don't like the funky colored wedge sneakers, but the toned down normal looking ones look cute to me.

  14. I go shopping in my sweats with no make-up a lot. To be more specific...Sometimes on the weekends I roll out of bed and leave the house without showering and go shopping. Oops.

    xo, Yi-chia

  18. HOT DAMN!!!!! You did a headless #ootd shot on IG and fashion post all in one day!!! Are you feeling okay??? No, really, LOVE this. As for those wedges, still not convinced either, BUT I am slowly heading toward the dark side with the ones you snagged. And the poodle fur with crap on it...well, that just made me spit out my Dt. Dr. Pepper. Thanks, now I have to actually wash this sweater.

  20. I am not even thinking about fashion in my pregnancy induced fatness.

  21. Aint no shame in going out in your jammies. I love it.

  22. Every day I leave the house in something other than yoga pants is a fashion risk.

  23. I do love them and I am so glad you bought them. I am eager to try to new things (yeah right I am scared as shit I love my grey color and going out of my box is scary but once I try I am stuck with them). My question is what do you wear them with?

    ReplyDelete
  24. These look adorable on people but it's just not very me... so I'll let you rock the wedge sneaker!

    ReplyDelete
  25. I'm going to allow you to love these shoes because of the term "fart blossom."

    ReplyDelete
  26. I am pretty conservative in my fashion risks--I usually buy entire outfits rather than mixing and matching pieces. But I admire your style and those shoes definitely look better on you than in the picture alone!

    ReplyDelete
  27. I honestly didn't like those either- but they do look way cute on you! Next time I see them, I'll have to try out a pair!

  28. Those are some weird ass shoes. I was not part of the instagram when this went down. But for some reason I think I might like those shoes.

    give me time.
