Cinco de Mayo y Los Zapatos!

Feliz cinco de Mayo mi amigas! This is going to be a bit of a mash up post. Some old outfit photos from way back on April 18th, some photos of Duschenay Falls from my drive home Easter weekend and talk of Jeffrey Campbell shoes. These photos are taken on the terrace of my new apartment. I was having a rather cruddy day so I just took the photos I needed and left it at that.

Blouse - Thrifted from the Salvation Army

Skirt - Thrifted from Value Village
Belt - Ardene's

Shoes - Spring

I've had this shirt a while, but it's finally been relegated to the donation pile. It already had the bad habit of riding up, since my bosom is a bit too large for it, but now it has other issues. I mentioned in my last post how I'd lost weight. Well from the front, the shirt looks fine. But from the side...

Holy extra fabric, Batman!

There's probably going to be more stuff headed to the donation pile for this reason, but I'm not certain how I feel about that. I love some of my dresses, and now they're getting too big... And it seems almost inappropriate to alter a vintage dress, you know? I guess we'll see what happens. I do like the idea of having room for new clothes though, heh.

These are photos I took of Duschenay Falls on Duschenay creek just outside of North Bay, Ontario back on Easter weekend. All the spring melt has the creeks and rivers swollen! It's too bad it was so gloomy and overcast - not to mention it was getting late - because this place is so beautiful when the sun is shining.

And now for talk of Jeffrey Campbell! Until quite recently, I hadn't a care for high fashion or designer labels. I didn't recognize any or know any other than the extremely obvious like Gucci and Chanel and such. Well, I think Jeffrey Campbell's shoes are my first designer fashion love affair. I must own a pair of his shoes! And of course I've gone and fallen in love with a pair I'll never be able to get my hands on now. I'm talking about his Splendid sandals that I have been seeing just about everywhere in the blogger world. Shoe envy? Oh yes...

Usually I wouldn't dream of paying for such an expensive shoe but I hear such great things about them that I think I'm going to give it a shot. The fact that "comfortable" is something I hear a lot about JC shoes definitely helps. But since the ones I want are pretty much impossible to find, these are different ones I'm considering. It definitely needs to be narrowed down to one pair though.

These are most likely going to be my eventual purchase.

At least, I like them the most right now.

So what do you think? Do you dig Jeffrey Campbell shoes? Own a pair yourself? Which out of the ones I'm looking at do you like most? Am I out of my mind? ;D Hope you're all having a great day. Cheers!
