I have a serious weakness for patent leather maryjanes, so it was a no-brainer when I found these beauties on the clearance rack.  The white captoe adds a bit of fun, and I can’t wait to wear the heck out of them.  They’re very lady-like, and the sturdy heel makes them comfy as well.  If black-and-white isn’t your thing, you can also find them in other fun colors (including “omg-oxblood”… aka burgundy) here.

Closet Confection: A Case of the Blues

I haven’t been blue at all this holiday season, but I have been extremely tired.  And this was the perfect casual outfit for ripping and running around the city to make last-minute Christmas preparations.  You may have noticed that I become quite fond of vests as of late. Winter has been pretty mild here so far (at least for this Michigander who laughs in the face of anything above 32 degrees), so I’ve been quite comfortable exercising my right to bare arms.

Closet Confection: All Buttoned Up

So the bad news is that in the middle of this photoshoot, my camera died on me.  It literally just shut off and refuses to turn on anymore.  The good news is that I have a warranty… and I almost never buy warranties.  It’ll be a few weeks before it’s fixed, so I’ll have to figure out an alternative solution for taking photos in the mean time.

Now onto the shoes…

Aren’t they spectacular?!  They were the first thing my eyes were drawn to when I first saw the Maison Martin Margiela x H&M collection.  The transparent lucite heel is beyond cool, but the shoes do have one little flaw (at least for an introvert like me).  The flaw is that they are such conversation starters!  Seriously, I got stopped repeatedly by people asking me about them.  That took me by surprise as I’ve seen some pretty outrageous getups in New York City, and people rarely even bat an eye.
