Finally Fall

 So far this week has been pretty good - the weather has been nice and sunny, work has been alright and yesterday I went to see Escape Plan. I actually really liked the movie, it's an action flick, the screenplay could have been a bit better but Arnie and Stallone are both very good in it (especially Arnie, I thought he was hilarious). I'll have the date night outfit for you in a later post (as some of the photos are on M's phone and though I've asked him to send them to me, he hasn't done so yet. Typical.)

However, there have been other shoes and other outfits that I will gladly show you now. (After all, there's a challenge going on and my shoes need saving!) This week finally feels like Fall (instead of a bleak winter which is what we usually have here in Prague). I took advantage of it and yesterday during the day went out wearing only a blazer and a long sleeved tee paired with a bright colored miniskirt. I apologize in advance for the "I'm taking a selfie" expression on my face. It's because I always feel ridiculous taking a selfie. But whatever, the outfit was cute.

 

Shoes saved: Next leather flats with buckle/bow detail

Where/ when: Monday - uni, lunch, work

Wearing: Stradivarius jersey blazer, Stradivarius long sleeved black top, Espirit shawl, Zara miniskirt, opaque tight, Mark B for Topshop bag

Next is a save from sometime last week. I can't remember which day I wore it though I think it was on Thursday. Anyways, these shoes are quite old and they're not really that special or anything, but I like the chain detail and they're good for when I just want to throw some shoes on and not really think about it. Though to be honest, I think they'll become pig walking shoes soon. And that means that pretty soon I'll need a new pair of flat ankle boots. Yeay, shoe shopping is near!

Shoes saved: Zara TRF chain detail flat ankle boots

Where/ when: sometime last week, uni classes

Wearing: Zara skinny jeans, Topshop coat

I'm off to watch the latest episode of Bones. Booth and Brennan are getting married! So I'll leave you with a photo of Mr. Pig. He's so cute right? And it's a photo of a pig in a blanket. You're welcome.

Ballerina

Shoes saved: Next ballerina flats with cross-over detail
Where: dinner with the boy*
Wearing: tezenis top, Motel pleated skirt

* I actually wore a different outfit when I went to dinner with the boy but then I only had this terrible photo (I wore yellow Asos tights, a yellow skirt from Zara, a vintage handbag, Zara long sleeved top and a Topshop coat) but since you can't see most of any of that on the photo, I thought I'd snap up a new picture with a plausible outfit of how to wear these shoes.

I bought these shoes during my Dubai vacation (when was that - like a year and a half ago?) and to be honest, they're really not the most comfortable flats that I own. I think I could have done with a size up or at least half a size as they do kind of squash my toes but they were the last pair and I fell in love with the cross-over detailing as they feel almost like real ballerina flats.

On a completely different note, I also saved a pair of hiking boots over the weekend. The boy & I and some friends of ours went mushroom hunting (yeah, this is actually a popular hobby in the Czech Republic, it was my first time btw.) You basically go off into the forest and look for edible mushroom, which you then dry or cook or whatever. I only included these shoes in the challenge as they were a gift from the boy and it made him happy that they were included in my shoe count (the list of shoes I own).

Salamon hiking boots. Wearing Mango jeans and a Gate sweatshirt and Loap jacket. Oh and my glasses (I only wear them for driving or going to the movies but obviously I needed them to be able to see the mushrooms.)
