Main Attraction: Leopard Flats

My first leopard print shoes!  I love them.  Love the squared off patent leather toe (like ballet shoes) and patent leather trim and heel...and the satiny feel of the fabric. 
Pardon the rest of me today.  Hair is a wild mess and I didn't wear my usual eye make up and I look weird with anything but my normal stuff I think.  Certain inexpensive products that are my favorites I'll buy at different trips to the drug store and try to stock up so I'll have a lifetime supply.  Is that strange? haha  I think I have enough eye makeup (about $2 each) at this point to last another 10 years or so....but I'd better get some more because I plan on rocking my blue frosty till long past my 60's. :)
I'm linking up with Patti for Visible Monday at Not Dead Yet Style and Thrifter's Anonymous.

    2. Thanks for the compliment and stopping by! Its so funny because if I had these flats in my shoe aresenal I would have worn them instead. It would have been better for the function I attended.

    1. Okay, I'll go with rockstar hair then. Makes me feel better than it just didn't turn out right. I'll pretend this is exactly what I wanted to achieve. ;)

    1. I just happened to be making a QUICK run in Goodwill with my husband to look for something specifically for the dog...and I ALWAYS have to at least just take a quick run through the shoes even if it's just a quick trip w/ hubby. And THERE they were!!! Made my day because I had been wanting some. Next are leopard heels. Hear that Shoe Thrifting Gods?

  10. Okay, I really like your "wild mess" of hair - it's very sassy, and, yes, rock star!! Your leopard-print shoes are so similar to mine, same squared off toe, except yours are flats. No need to say I love them! Leopard print shoes are the new neutral.

    1. Yes, I never thought about that...leopard being the new neutral. I like that.

  11. Oh...that's a lovely leopard print shoes! Very glam. I like the classic cardi and colored jeans look..the belt gives a nice definition too. I like the simple necklace...so subtly chic. I actually think your tousled hair looks quite feminine!

    1. I think I should let my hair "tousle" more often and just let it be free. I'll just need to get used to it being untamed.

    3. Awww, that's so sweet. I'm glad you like it. I'll have to experiment a little more with these more tousled styles. I've never been great at doing my hair, but it's kind of fun to play around with it.
