What I Wore: Dressy Sweatpants

This year’s Boxing Day marked a couple of firsts for me. It was the first time I actually got out of the house and hit up the physical stores on Boxing Day (as far I as I can remember), and it was also the first time I wore sweats with heels and liked it. This outfit was so comfy, that not only did I end up wearing it on Boxing Day, but I also ended up basically living in it the entire post-Christmas weekend. This was beneficial in several ways – turns out that comfy stretchy pants are ideal for consuming Christmas leftovers, and when paired with heels and Kenzo sweatshirt gives an appearance of at least SOME put-togetherness, thus elevating this look from shlumpy slob to on-purpose semi-shlumpy designer slob. I know this look is not for everyone, but I’m definitely going to be wearing it a lot this winter. A perfect lazy day outfit that only looks slightly lazy.

Boxing for Shoes

29 December, 2009 Nelia 4 Comments

So Christmas came and went, and so did Boxing day, and I didn’t really buy anything. I simply refused to fight for things in stores, when I could just shop from the comfort of my own couch. So when I said I didn’t buy anything, I meant, not physically. I ordered three new pairs of Aldo shoes at extra 30% off online and am waiting (impatiently) to receive the two pairs (Gaser and Stinehelfer below). Alamin (above, and my favorite of the three) was unfortunately cancelled due to…? Not sure. Le sigh. I’ve been pretty obsessed with Aldo’s website lately. So many shoes that I would love to have. And with their low prices, it’s a real threat to my wallet. These are my current faves. Want to have that Alamin pair so badly! Why, oh why, did you have to be sold out, Aldo? Why my order? Why??? Anyway, hope your shopping day went better than mine.
