Skrillex show!

So, I went to the sold out Skrillex show last night at the Knitting Factory.  For those of you who don't know what that is, it is a pretty awesome DJ that plays dubstep - basically club music.  Sounds like bad news, but it was a really cool show (considering my other genre is metalhead and 80's)... 

So what to wear?  I had to be semi-conservative as there were clients in the midst...  cool clients, but still.

So, out come the Madden Girl "Oaklannd" shoes!  The pics on top are from online, they apparently come in different colors.  The bottom ones are the ones I actually got at some cheapie store like Ross or TJ Maxx for I think $12.00.  The multi-color glitter was good for this show.  I figured I'd need going out shoes that I didn't mind getting wrecked, but they were a score as they're still $39.00 on Zappo's etc.  The only disturbing part is that they are in the "Juniors" section, etc.  When am I ever going to grow up.   Wore with BR black silk mini w roses on bottom, and the infamous Michael Kors silk tank I picked up for $6.99 at either Ross or TJ Maxx.  Anyway, it was epic, and the shoes are still intact.

Meeting in valley causes problems.

So... while I was on my Nordy's rack kick...  I had to go to a meeting in the valley for a client.  Then I had to wait for my cousin to get done working... so, I went and waited at the Rack.  You know, look for some basics like nylons, maybe some winter shoes... uhhhh

The Coach "Sheri".  Lo and behold.  I realize these are like my Calvin Klein Olive shoes, but they didn't have more of those in my size (they had patent CK's very close to this).  But... they did have these.  They were Coach comfy, and have a little Coach inscription on the heel that no human will ever see.  Just what I need for my suits, right?  Uhhh.  Crap.

So then I also perused the clearance racks.  Some Badgley Mischkas for $40, from $200?  Uh yes, please?  I also have nowhere to go in these, however, for $40, I can't pass that up.  I will have to find an event to go to, just for these.  This meeting sure cost me...

Seattle ABA TIPS meeting...

Well, I've been so busy lately (Monday evening and still procrastinating, I see), however during my meeting in Seattle, I couldn't help but "need" some emergency shoes.  My go-to Enzo's started hurting on the hills of Seattle.  So... I popped into Nordy's Rack for some help.

 Here we have the Coach Inez.  This was my non-sane splurge.  Apparently, it was well worth it, as I received many compliments on them, and they got me up and down the Seattle hills without wanting to die.  Apparently, these are "hottt" on.  I want to go places just to wear them now.

 Nine West Rocha.  Only $29.00.  They looked good with jeans. 

Practical.  Sofft Astoria's.  I was told by many ladies they looked good on.  I was going to pass on these for $39.00 (regular $99), but I thought of the Spokane snow that can't be toooo far away, and I saw rubber bottom closed toe shoes.  Have to wear something to court, right?  I am so conservative, I'm not sure about patent... but nevertheless, I got these.

I was then so poor, I went into dirty Ross to get a dress.  Bought a hot Calvin Klein black dress for $23.99, and then got the red one too, as the dressing room folks got all excited about it.  Same price... but I digress, this is not a dress blog.

Super funny shoe incident.

So, today I was running errands and looking sketchy. You know, you can't wear heels everyday. This lady sitting down having coffee at Great Harvest ( where I was using my Living Social coupon, btw) says "nice shoes". Ironic. Got them on sale at Costco. Run, don't walk, and go get your Adidas kicks @ Costco for running Sunday errands.

Lesson is, even when you think no one is looking.... they are!  Who would have thought my scuzzy Sunday outfit would garner compliments! 

More Halloween cards.

The "Spooky" is a Memory Box stamp.  Other cut outs are Cricut "Gypsy Wanderings" and "Ornamental Iron".  The purple bat was a cheap foam sticker I got in a pack, and I wove orange ribbon through the Ornamental Iron cutout before gluing on.  Gray background paper is from one of my paper stacks cut with Gypsy Wanderings tag (shift for oval). 

outfit alert

Well, so I finally wore the Banana Republic skirt I bought to match the Badgely Mischka shoes.  I finally found an event to wear this to!  The Communities in Schools auction and charity event.  It was a hit - mainly the shoes but then the "after party" got comments on the skirt.  Wore it with black JCrew sweater on top.

I was able to wear the shoes all night, although I will admit by 2AM they hurt like crazy.  I walked around and danced in them, so for shoes like this, they weren't bad.  Good times, good friends.

October.
