I wore this for church on 23 January. I also wore it to cook, wait tables, and do dishes in the restaurant that we're managing to raise funds for the school.
Yes, I wore THESE SHOES to work all day at a restaurant; it was considerably harder on my body than teaching in them. Live and learn...
I really like the big, tough belt buckle with all the frilly, delicate pieces of this outfit. Yeah, I'm wearing ruffles, leopard, a skirt, wedge heels, AND a ginormous belt buckle. And what?
I dig it.
The Monday following that super busy day at the restaurant was NOT a good day for me. And then B saved the day and took me out for dinner at a nearby French restaurant.

For the record, French food fixes everything. Also, I have no idea why there's a relatively upscale French restaurant in the rural Costa Rican mountainside, either, but thank God there is.
And how about that sunset?! Between the dramatic sky, the red lipstick, and my sequins (oh, and hours of crying), I'd worked up quite an appetite.
Bonus: I got dessert.

Teachers often complain about being on their feet all day, but I image it is NOTHING like running around in a restaurant. How you look cute and maintain comfort is beyond me in that situation.
ReplyDeleteI love how to styled that leopard.

That belt buckle is definitely kick-ass! So cool.
ReplyDeleteCrying? two very contrasting looks, but I really like those blue "waitress" shoes!
ReplyDeleteMy wife was very impressive that day in the restaurant - she's amazing! Also, you looked great when we went out. Too bad we had the place to ourselves so no one else could appreciate. More for me :)
