Style Story Link Up No. 3–Reality vs Wishful Thinking

Posted on

Style Story3.3This week I really started to feel fed up with wearing sport shoes. Granted, they are so comfortable, but there were times this week when other options would have looked so much better. Therefore, for this week’s Style Story, I posted a picture of what I actually wore next to a picture of what I would have liked to have worn. Wednesday, as detailed up above, was a day off from work, so I felt comfortable in my Christmas plaid slip-ons all day long. I had just firmed up our family Christmas plans, so these Christmas plaid shoes seemed utterly appropriate.

Style Story 3
On Monday, I wore a leather skirt. For sure the open toed booties look way better. I should have paired the leather with any one of my many graphic tees. I’m coming up with a formula here….I just need to figure it out. Tuesday’s outfit could go either way. The white slip-ons work, but the boho fringe is so much more!

Style Story 3.2Thursday was a bust. I happened to be downtown early in the evening for a doctor’s appointment. When I saw a glimpse of myself in the mall mirrors, I gasped and then chuckled. This combo didn’t work at all! Again supporting this formula forming in my mind, I think it goes something like this: if one wears tennis shoes, one more casual item must be incorporated. On both Monday and Thursday, I needed one other casual item to balance out the shoes. I’ll make sure to remember this as I get dressed this coming week. Friday too…my tennies can work but the sandals just match the whole boho vibe so much better.

Can you tell I’m getting tired of the tennis shoe look? I mentioned the doctor: I’ve got another 4-6 weeks in them, so it’s time to ROCK IT AND OWN IT!

How was your style this week? Did you hit any ruts? Or did you have an awesome (opposite) week where things just worked? Please tell me your Style Story! I’d love to hear it….

And fellow bloggers, link up!! I love seeing what you’re up to and connecting with all of you!

  1. Great choice of shoes and skirts.
    I am linking the whole week nearly, hahhahahha.
    Thank you so muich for the reminder and Happy Sunday

    1. I’m glad to have you linking up here Sacramento. I love clicking to see your posts. I also really liked the way you had a roundup of some of your own links. Brilliant? Might just have to copy if you don’t mind. What a great way to turn your content evergreen. Ann

  3. I have to say that these shoe choices are Great, so chic!
    And, yes you look more ‘dressed up’ and ‘grown-up’ with the heeled shoes…..BUT just so COOL in the gutties!
    Your black New-balance are fab (with everything, how is that?)…and I want (and I mean seriously WANT) those tartan sliders. With Culottes too, I mean, how hard are culottes to wear?! …and you make them look so “oh, yeah…these old things”, as easy as slipping on a pair of jeans.
    You are one cool and stylish lady!

    P.S Thank you for hosting another fab link up.

  4. I agree that Monday & Tuesday would have looked slightly better with the heeled shoes. But personally I do actually like the sneakers better for Thursday & Friday.

    And graphic shirts are just like the best thing ever. I swear they go with everything! … Okay, maybe I’m a tad biased here 😉

    Thanks for hosting & have a fab week!

    1. We have something in common–really in common! Graphic tees please! I love them and can’t get enough of them. Well, actually I don’t even have any more room for them in my wardrobe, but for some reason that isn’t even stopping me.

      Wow, regarding Thursday, I just felt like such a dud in downtown Hong Kong. You know that image of a stereotypical, older librarian lady. Well, that was my self image when I saw myself in the mirror. Luckily it made me chuckle though!

      You too to a fab week Alex! Ann

    1. My posting calendar is sooooo slow right now. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I’ve got to JUMP out of this rut I’m in and quit blaming it on silly shoes! Haha. Thanks for linking up! Ann

  7. You are rocking and owning those tennis shoes! So no worries. I am just now learning (in my 40’s ha!) how important it is to listen to the doctor and to listen to your body! 6 weeks will fly by! Thanks for the link up.

    1. Thank you Shelbee! I should feel happy–wearing tennis shoes every day is super comfortable. I guess it’s the limitation I don’t like, so I’ll have to rework my mindset! I’m glad you linked up! Are you enjoying blogging?

      Love, Ann

  8. Aww bless you Ann and your being-tired-of-wearing-tennis-shoes… hang in there!!! Though I think those fringed booties look awesome with the skirt on Tuesday, and I adore the fringed shawl on Friday – can you tell there’s a theme here?!!

    Thank you so much for hosting, can’t wait to see you at #iwillwearwhatilike! I might just be rocking a bikini for the first time on the blog today!!!

    1. Thank you Catherine. Ugh, the whole tired of thing! In fact there’s more of that dilemma, but I think I’ll write you personally regarding that….

      Yes, I do love me some fringe! It can’t be helped!! And you SOOOOO ROCKED the bikini on your blog. Woot woot! You’re amazing Catherine!

      Thanks for linking up! Love, Ann

  9. Ann im so sorry, i thought i commented yesterday, but apparently i linked and ran.. how rude! my sincere apologies.
    anyway on to your lovely self. My favourite this week is the leather skirt. It looks DIVINE on you! I also love how you can rock culottes, they look fab! I look somewhat ridiculous in them which is a shame as i had high hopes. Wishing you a lovely week Ann

    1. Oh gosh Rachel! Don’t even worry about it! It’s soooo, so, sooo hard to keep up with all of it. I’m trying and I don’t think I’m doing very well. My amount of posts has dropped as I try to connect. It’s hard to find the fine balance. Lucky for you (and probably really hard too) that you are now a full time blogger. Thank you though for coming and admitting so and remedying with a comment. You’re the best! Love, Ann

  10. Thank you Laurie! I should have mentioned that my leather skirt is also faux. Faux materials are so luxe these days aren’t they!? Thank you for linking up Laurie. Love, Ann
