My Boyfriend's Clothes

I've been trying to figure out if I hate or love the new "boyfriend" trend that's popular this season. The objective is to look as if you grabbed your boyfriend's jacket or jeans and walked out of the door.

But...wait, what if your boyfriend's clothes suck or if he's smaller than you or wayyyyyy bigger than you, or what if he is a Little Person? Hmmph...

Sorry, I digress. Since I tend to have more curves, I typically shy away from baggy clothes but I think I found an acceptable version of this look. The key...WEAR HIGH HEELS! If you didn't know, that's me in the center square rocking the Prince T-shirt...again. It can't be helped. I love it. It makes me happy. It brings me joy like a double stuffed oreo and an ice cold Dr. Pepper for breakfast. Joy like when I find a Christian Dior Tuxedo Jacket for $4 (true story).

The Prince Tee simply brings unspeakeable joy...plus I have good memories attached to Prince.
This particular tee is thin and long with a forgiving neckline...it's my favorite Tshirt to date.
So...Sue me:)


Here are the shoes that I wore. Please believe in thine heart that thou shoes hurt like hell:(
**My verdict on the "Boyfriend" Look: It doesn't offend me.

I FINALLY MET OPRAH!!!

Well not exactly...okay... not even close but I'm one step closer to being a success story on Oprah. I have been featured on Mustard Seed Collective's blog! I am so excited. It's not a big deal to you, but it's a big deal to me. It means that someone other than my family reads my blog!

Here I thought my sister and friends were the only ones who read my blog...and by "read"...I mean look at the pictures only! (cough, cough)

Click here and read my little interview! This could be the first step to me getting out of debt.
Here is my Plan!
1. Be featured on Mustard Seed Collective website.
2. Gayle (Oprah's BFF) is surfing the net and stumbles upon my feature.
3. Gayle tells Oprah that she has got to read God's Favorite Shoes blog!
4. Oprah sends for me to talk clothes.
5. When I get there Oprah will surprise me with a book publishing deal or a job on her O' Magazine writing staff.
(Remember, this is all in my head, none of this is real...yet)
5. I will be so funny, cute and witty that she will invite me for different segments on the show.
6. Oprah will ask me to be in her "inner circle" with Gayle, Andre the hairdresser, Nate the design guru and Stedman!
And BAM! I made it!!!! It could happen!

So thank you Adrienne at MUSTARD SEED COLLECTIVE...you are my first step in that direction!!

Just Kidding...unless you are OPRAH...then I am serious as a heart attack!
But really, go check out the feature! This is my First Feature! I. AM. SOMEBODY! (Thank you Jesse Jackson!!)


Thrifted Jacket/Belt
Anthropologie Summer Dress
Jessica Simpson Shoes
Marshall's Textured Tights
What a difference tights make! These babies are going to help transition my summer clothes into the fall!

Textured Tights from Marshall's. And I promise to stop wearing these shoes!

Click here and Go Check out my Feature! Then come back and tell me what you think!

Are you are a follower of mine yet? You should be! I'm going places! (going a little far with this feature thing huh?!?)

Quick! Help Me Decide!

Update: I wore the black dress to the wedding. I know, I know...Everyone chose the blueish/greenish one but I felt better in the black dress. A little more zexy and the temperature dropped at night:)
The bride even called me the next morning to tell me I looked beautiful...(hey, I'm supposed to call her to say that!)...so all is well! Thanks for the votes. I promise to listen to you next time. (I did wear the blue dress to work with black tights though, so all is not lost:) Thanks again!
