Hooray! Bonne fête nationale française! Despite the fact that it's been three years since I have visited the land of amour, couture, and fromage, I celebrated Bastille Day along with my favorite francophile friends. In true form, we had an indoor picnic with my favorite kinds of wine, cheese, and bread. It had been a good three or four years since we took any formal French courses, so we didn't attempt to sing La Marseillaise and watched Marie Antoinette instead.
This was my daytime look as I buzzed around work and waited till I could fully celebrate! I was feeling the 70's vibe the dress and platforms evoked. And, gulp, so was the mailman apparently. He joked unironically, "I have a big package for you," and winked at me. I blinked in disbelief several times until he returned with a box for my boss.
So just a quick note for those of you drooling over the shoes. They were totally worth the pennies I saved up for them--they are super comfortable and I powered through an 8-hour day on my feet, but they sure do turn heads.
LOVE that dress! The whole look together is amazing. :)
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe the mailman said that!
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit, and those shoes, and the fact that you had a picnic and watched Marie Antoinette. What a fun day!
I wonder how many times a day the mailman says that?? haha I love it!
ReplyDeleteYou look great! I didn't get to celebrate Bastille Day this year, but your celebration sounds wonderful. Sometimes I am absolutely sure that I was meant to be french.
ReplyDeleteAnd what the heck was that mailman thinking?!
Those shoes are killer, lady. I've got pre-school baby platforms and am still teeter tottering. You look great!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun day.
ReplyDeleteI love your hippie vibe you've got going on here. I so wanted that dress when it cam out but it looked like a sack on me - looks great on you! :)

ReplyDeleteI know this is an older post, but I thought the info I have is valuable. I loved your shoes, so I did a search online. piperlime.com has them for 79.99, and if you enter the word STAR in the search field, you will get a code for 20% off plus free shipping, which makes them right around 70$ with tax. A great deal if anyone is interested.
