//// Flat shoe solutions

Posted on | May 10, 2010 | 6 Comments

The leg feels much better but I’m still taking it carefully, so my flats are in heavy rotation. Actually the weather is miserably cold — and today I seriously considered wearing the winter jacket when going out. And the bare ankles… …well, let’s just say that there are not too many people in addition to yours truly sporting them in this weather.

The haori jacket has been an enormous hit in my wardrobe. I love to wear it with regular denim outfits, over tunics, T:s, tanks and light layers — it definitely makes things bit more interesting. This time I have my old Lee jeans (the ones that saved my skin when I fell), amazing cotton guipure lace T I snatched from Gina Tricot (amazing being from GT, haha!) over a random tank and printed ponyskin flats from Pretty Ballerinas. Actually ballerinas are a staple on my wardrobe, I have another pair from PB in antique silver — and very low cut taupe pair from French Sole. My beloved black Repetto’s I walked to shreds last summer.

And I have an actual haircut with slanted fringe and some layers… …bit windswept but the cut still makes a difference.

I use nail polish as accessory, true!

The leg is healing gradually… …it still has some stiffness and the back of the knee hurts. Less, though, when I put my heels on — haha… …but I’m not risking injuring it again.

But who paints nails every day — even with fast drying topcoat it takes an hour before i can use my hands normally. Just can’t stand that! This polish was total PITA, it took four layers and was extremely difficult to apply, so it probably took two hours… …zzzzzzzz… …but for neon yellow nails I can do that occasionally…

And thanks

I’m glad you are feeling better. It’s scary to have something like that happen. and you are absolutely right about the nails. it takes a good couple hours out of my day until I feel comfortable using the digits again.
