Spatty


Sorry about the lengthy disappearance. I went home to go to my mother's 70th birthday party. WHOOO!
 
I think it's pretty well documented that I have a love of buttony, spatty, boots. I happen to own a few pairs.

So when I came across this pair of Fluevog booties that are no longer available, in my size, it made sense that I would want to add them to my collection. What can I say? I'm greedy.


Top: Anthropologie (last worn here)
Skirt: Krista Larsen (last worn here)
Boots: Fluevog Bellevues | Ida Clark

These boots are from Fluevog's vegan collection. They are canvas and fabric. I think I'm going to get some clear nail polish to keep the fabric near the zipper from fraying.

I like how the fabric looks like mattress ticking or seersucker.  It gives them kind of a old world feel.




















I wore another pin that I got from Vitamin G on etsy. Maybe not entirely work appropriate but I wasn't meeting with anyone from the public or senior management today. The woman who owns the coffee shop in my building said "She looks like you!"  Ha!  I wish.



Lastly, I wore my new mouse ring. So sweet and it matches my tattoo.

I'm glad to be back! I'll be here all week.

  5. So much goodness! Welcome back. Not greedy, sensible. You know what you like, and those orphan shoes got a lovely home.

    I am coveting your mouse ring. Squeak!

  6. Ooh, I'm thinking you could add a pouffy petticoat under that gingham skirt and emulate the lady on your brooch, Megan! I like the old-time vibe of the boots, and the mouse ring is a cutie.
    Hope the party was fun - happy birthday, Megan's mum! xxx

  8. Wonderful outfit! Love the brooch especially. I better don't come too close to you, because I am wearing a cat ring, very similar to your mouse ring. Love, Sara xx

  9. THANK YOU for this outfit! I too recently bought these same shoes, at Gravity Pope during their winter sale. As I love Fluevogs and have been adding to my collection in the past 2 years, I figured I would never run into those again only to be stumped about how to wear them. I put them up for sale at the Fluemarket (they are still there) but now that I see you in this outfit I will try to recreate it and keep them :) I think a midi skirt and tights to create a longer leg line is key.

    Good idea about the clear nail polish btw, I snipped mine with a pair of cuticle scissors.

    1. I saw those on the Fluemarket and was sad that you were selling them! Glad I was able to convince you to keep them for a while. ;)
