More practically speaking.

I like to take walks around my neighborhood - I'm within walking distance of the local casino/shopping area (hello, Las Vegas Valley!), Target, Fresh & Easy, Whole Foods, and my local library. This makes for a very nice series of reasons to get my ass out of the house, and get some fresh air and exercise besides. Of course, my usual dresses and heels don't work too well when I'm stomping down the parkway. Thus, a more reasonable outfit for taking a walk to my local biblioteca:






3.1 Philip Lim tank top, Current/Elliot jeans, Doc Martens.

Current/Elliots are often awesome but give me ridiculous amounts of trouble with the fit, seeing as I have insanely muscular calves. I've tried on some pairs that are cut so skinny in the calf area that I literally cannot pull them up that far. These work out well though - the zipper offers breathing space, and most importantly there's just enough wiggle room to zip them over my Docs, creating a nice sort of seal to keep out the cold air. Or the air that will be cold once it stops being 69 degrees in November.



Already returned the top one, a semi-interesting history on eugenics in the US. I'm halfway through The Monster of Florence, which is interesting and salacious, but so far not as great as the cover. Looking forward to Thunderstruck, though.
