Rooftop style: That 70's Vibe

Today is my first outfit post. It may also be my last. Fashion bloggers make it look so effortless, but what they don't tell you is how utterly stupid and vain you'll feel when you have someone else take pictures of...not pretty flowers, or cute dogs, or cool buildings...but you.

Still, I felt compelled to do it because 1) Everyone seems to post their outfits on their blogs these days, 2) I felt like a hippie today, and I like hippies, and 3) I got these hecka awesome shoes from my lust list last week...

They're six inches heels, and would you believe it...they're incredibly comfortable! I was willing to put up with a lot of pain to wear these shoes, but they're not too bad. I just have to walk slower than usual in them, and not stand for more than five minutes at a time. There was only one pair left online, and they were in my size in the color I wanted. I took it as a sign, and ordered them instantly. (And yes, I normally only have a $25 monthly budget for clothes, but I had just earned some major moolah at a family garage sale, and decided to spend it all on one pair of shoes.)

Here's the rest of my outfit. Apparently this billowy blouse, despite its extreme comfort, makes me look pregnant unless I'm wearing a belt across it. So enjoy this hippified, slightly pregnant-looking version of me (and the incredibly stupid look on my face in the first picture - it's my "I feel awkward that my husband is taking dozens of pictures of me while other people are watching" look)...
