Hater Alert

I wore this outfit to work and had no less than 5 teachers (co-workers) do double takes. I think the polka dot tights did it. My audacity to wear fashionable tights in a sea of crocs and khaki's and sweaters with apples on them apparently ignited immediate haterism...and I loved every minute of it.

"Almost always" (you get the point), I can see a little cartoon bubble rise above said "haters" heads saying "Who does she think she is?"

And "almost always" I picture myself popping that bubble when I look over my shoulder just in time to make eye contact.

I usually whisper "Hi, Hater" to them in hopes that they can't read lips, then I do the HATER WAVE (ie...the Miss America Wave).

This top was actually a 70's floor length dress. The dress is 100% polyester so the likelihood of me having a heatstroke was inevitable if I wore it before the fall season. The dress unaltered was a little too Wulona from Good Times for me so I decided to nip and tuck the length.

I got it last year at a vintage shop and bought it strictly because of the nipped in waist detail and the sleeves. I waited a whole year for the temperature to drop to pull it out.. I think it looks 1000% better as a top than a dress. The tights were a last minute addition and judging by the many eyerolls from adults...the look was a hit!

By the way, I have become a one woman traveling papparazi team. Now, as I drive from here to there, I am always trying to spot new locations to "shoot". These photos were taken in front of a newly built home. It looked vacant to me so I went for it.

I liked the wooden garage doors, so I pulled over, hopped out of the car, and took quick pics and then vroom vroomed down the street. It's kind of a thrill, to see if I can get a good shot before someone shines a flashlight in my face. I have no life. This constitutes as fun these days. It's hard being your own photographer.

Do you have any haters on your job? You know, the ones that refuse to acknowledge your fabulousity?

In other news, I can't wait for this year to end. I'm over it already.

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!!)

Shoe Therapy

There's nothing like a good shoe to get you out of a funk...that's what I tell myself atleast:)


I am flabbergasted at myself for owning anything with Paris Hilton's name on it but these gray suede pumps could not be denied. The fact that Paris Hilton gets paid to do nothing secretly angers my soul but I'm a sucker for pretty details on heels. I also have become mildly obsessed with finding all kinds of cheap textured tights this fall.

How hot are these! Once again, I can't believe I am wearing a shoe by another rich airhead... Jessica Simpson. I fought the urge to like her shoes for the simple fact that she tried to bring back wearing MOM jeans last year. But I finally gave in and I am kinda in love with all of her shoes. I can't tell you how close I am to putting these on my kitchen table as a centerpiece!

So, I had a horrible weekend yet I was forced to go to my good friend's bachelorette party. I couldn't dare miss it but it meant that I had to put on the performance of a lifetime. My shoes were there but my head wasn't. Of course, bachelorette party means club...which means my slow death. The fact that I was taking photos of my shoes INSIDE the club should let you know how enthused I was about being there.

(...don't get me wrong, I shook my BOM BOM to keep up appearances. That's what good friends do:)

Random Thoughts While in the Club

1. I am way too old for this.

2. This is so not my element.

3. Why did the DJ mix a Michael Jackson song over a Tejano Beat?

4. I wish I had some Double Stuffed Oreos in my Purse!

5. MyLeopard Shoes ARE HOT!

6. My Leopard Shoes Hurt!

7. I clearly have no "going out" clothes.

8. Does everyone in here shop in the same mall?

9. Is anyone noticing that I am taking pictures of my shoes on the zebra sofa?

10. I could have been atleast 15 minutes into the R.E.M. stage of sleeping by now.

11. How many people are going to church tomorrow?

12. Am I going to church tomorrow?

13. People who stay in the club until it closes are lame.

14. What would happen if the DJ stopped playing music and started praying over the microphone? LOL!

15. My Shoes are HOT!

16. I need a zebra sofa in my house.

17. I am so glad that it's illegal to smoke in clubs now.

18. I should start a Club Coat Check business for extra cash. (don't steal my idea!)

19. I hope I don't run into one of my students.

20. Why is that lady across from me atleast 8 months pregnant and grinding the wall?

Bonus: **COULD I BE ANYMORE LAME?**

** by the way, those are leggings not jeans that I am wearing:)

*Sorry Jessica Simpson and Paris Hilton if you are reading this...I know you are not airheads...you can't be to make millions from saying "That's Hot" or "Is this chicken or fish". I think you are actually brilliant to have suckered America into buying things with your names on it. I respect a good hustle. Play on Playettes!*
