In my absence, apparently I am not alone....

Yes, I have a real job, and yes, recently my life has become completely crazy busy, and yes, I have sadly paid little attention to this blog. But, that can change! I am every impressed that a number of you still stop by even when I haven't posted in ages. Perhaps absence make's the heart grow fonder?

So for this weeks discovery.... how to wear flats if you have huge clown feet (like me). So, I never ever wear sneakers, flats, etc, with anything but long jeans, and even then, I don't like to do it. I always wished I could look like one of those sprightly girls about town moving about in her cute flats and shorts/skirt/cropped pants, but alas, every time I tried I felt like I had phone books tied to my feet. In a curious mood about the new skinny jeans thing, I bought a pair of jeans and cropped them off a few inches above my ankles (because any childhood attempts to "stretch" my legs, they still aren't of the bean pole variety). But with high heels, they just felt crass. So I tried them on with my Pumas. Now, note that my fiance is constantly bugging me to wear my pumas but I never do because I think that they make me look short and dumpy. BUT, with the skinny jeans? I looked like a modern hip girl. I was totally counterintuitive... I really don't know how to explain it. So here are my favorite new skinny jeans and flats... Give it a try, you might be surprised (FYI, turn down and crop those jeans... way cuter):
