what i wore :: lucky horseshoe

head to toe:
shirt - souvenir shop in NYC
cardigan - target
jeans - american eagle
boots - c/o Blowfish

Did you spot the horseshoe? It is in the second photo at the peak of the roof. That is the shed in our backyard and at first I thought it was dilapidated and gross but now I think it is pretty cute. Especially since I noticed the horseshoe. Adorable.

My I 'heart' NY shirt is the only thing I bought when we went to NYC. In case you can't tell it is a cute light pink which totally matched my hair at the time.

And, my boots! I really wanted these Blowfish boots because they remind me of Final Fantasy with that little part that comes over the front and back. I was nervous about them though because I have rather large calves. Always have, probably always will. I am happy to say that these boots are a safe bet for anyone blessed with large calves! They fit and I can even wear them with jeans without them being cut-off-your-circulation tight. Hooray!

  22. I can't even begin to explain how much I appreciate this blog post... I have really thick calves and struggled with it for a long time, until I just stopped making myself feel like crap and accepted the fact that there is nothing I can do to change it! Boots are a struggle sometimes because they are either so tiny I get depressed that they don't even go up over my leg... or they're so tight that it's difficult to wear them with jeans. Thanks for the heads-up on the blowfish boots!
