Ruby Slippers

Worn: May 6, 2013

Sometimes, I don't discover the problems with a pair of shoes until I've worn them a couple of days. For instance, the heels on my new red pumps are pointed enough to sink over an inch into soft mud with every step.

My purchase of this top was heavily influenced by Kristina Bazan's use of a similar top here. I'm not sure which of the two I prefer. Peplum tops, like hers, are generally unflattering on me, but the dangly bits on mine present their own pains. Both are orangey reds, while I prefer more burgundy shades. And mine is really hard to button up the back.
