I had an older lady stop and say to me in the shop on Saturday "the higher, the better, honey." She pointed to my bun and then to my heels. We squeezed each other's hands and had a moment. And in that moment it was just me and my 80 year old doppelganger, holding each other in the middle of a crazy world.
Little did she know that the heels I was wearing at the time had nothing on these. These are five inch heels -- she would be so proud.
I wore this out for a night on the town with B this Saturday night. Of course we tore it up. And of course we were home by 8 pm. Possibly asleep by 9. Just wild, that's what our date nights are.
LOVE your yellow! Beautiful for fall, especially with those earrings!!

Love the earrings, they add just the right touch. I am curious though are you wearing lipstick or is this your natural lipcolor? If it's lipstick I love it and I want it! If it is your natural lipcolor I am SO jealous!

Just wanted to let you know I've chosen this look as part of my Friday Top Five. The unusual mixture of the bright yellow with the neutral brown combo is really stepping out of the box. The use of colour is truly advanced.

Kendi-- how tall is your husband that you are able to pull off high heels almost daily!?! I'm 5' 9'' too and I always feel gigantic amongst the tiny people of my hometown and even my bf (who is 6'). share your secrets!
