double trouble

Today, I accompanied one of my friends to try on wedding dresses at the nearest large bridal shop - which happens to be the one where C. works! We had a great time helping our friend and eating a delicious lunch, then strolling around by the river before I headed back to campus to teach my evening class.

I tried some tone-on-tone orange layering for a sunny fall day, and C. kept it simple and classy with this beautiful scarf.

Across the street from the bridal shop is a DSW (I swear I did not know this when I volunteered for the trip!) and I picked up some great fall boots as well as these awesomely high heels.

They are so librarian sexy I can barely stand it. And thanks to the wide heel and padding, they are surprisingly comfortable. Shoe happiness!

Thanks for the great afternoon, C.! You make everything way more fun.

    Kristen - Haha, thanks! I always have good luck finding thick tights at TJMaxx. I found two more pairs last weekend, which will be making an appearance here soon. :)

    Tina - thanks! It was a pretty bold color experiment for me, and I was happy with the results.

    Ally - that scarf is really pretty. I should make MY mom go to Austria!
