FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY wore my Iron Fist oxford shoes (period). I was always afraid to wear them because they are made of quite thin-feeling canvas material (although it’s listed as leather so it clearly just feels like canvas) and the there’s obviously the white stripes on them that I didn’t want to get dirty. Of all the places to wear them, I chose to wear them into Reading town center (the cleanest place I know! /s). They actually made it home in once piece (as did my feet, thankfully!) as you can see in the pictures as the two top pictures of just the shoes were taken after getting home - sorry for the crap lighting.

I let Rik photograph me just to document this momentous occasion. Two pictures were required as the first one was my “idgaf, I’m just chewing some gum” face LOL.

My only negative comment?? Not the most breathable for this extreme heat we were having today. My little piggies were ROASTING. But that was more a poor choice on my part rather than the shoes themselves.

The last t-shirt I’ll receive from LootCrate (for now), and what a good one it is. It’s a Goonies Never Say Die tshirt!

Actually bothered enough to put on lipstick for the second half of today lol

This is one I got from Kikko. The colour doesn’t have a specific name, but the shade number is 425 if you want to try to find it for yourself

Thanks to an amazing co-worker up in Scotland who’s girlfriend is continually buying my favourite brand of shoes ( @ironfistclothing ) in the wrong size - that just so happens to be MY size - I have scored the shoes that match my clutch bag and they’ve never been worn. Absolute perfect condition. He, as usual, wouldn’t let me pay anything just asked that I pay it forward...so I made sure to buy multiple Christmas presents for our local charity who gives presents to children in foster care/care homes. 

Thought I would just take a quick second to share some actual decent photos of my husband and myself. Got ourselves photoshoot fresh (top photo) to take some family portraits at Target (surprisingly very good/professional) as a present to my mom. We did a few big, family picture (I.E. my parents and my siblings with their partners and children), a few of just me/parents/siblings, a few of just the “grandchildren”, and then each separate family did their own little shoot. I was feeling a bit nervous as I feel I always tend to take maybe one or two good pictures out of the bunch but was pleasantly surprised to see that I felt I looked okay in nearly all of the photos we received. Extra bonus is that my husband doesn’t typically put a natural-looking smile on when we take a photo together and he usually ends up looking awkward and miserable. These photos, he actually looks like he likes me somewhat! haha
