Taxes were due!
Since I received a refund, I decided to treat myself with these Sophia Webster Chiara booties. I’ve wanted them for a couple of months and decided this was the perfect time to get them. The weather is bouncing between winter and spring, so I anticipate getting a lot of use out of them still. The detail is amazing and they are a statement all on their own. Sophia Webster is now one of my favorite shoe designers. Her shoes are whimsical and fun which is how I try to approach getting dressed every morning.
I feel a great sense of relief now that an event I was planning for work was completed last week. I had to pull some overtime and was coming home with very little energy and even less energy to get back to my computer and blog. I love getting dressed every morning, and I do feel a little bit sad when I am excited with how an outfit comes out and there isn’t a photo of it. 
When I look back at my photos from when I first started blogging, I realize I didn’t just capture an outfit of the day. I captured memories. I remember what I did in a dress or how much I accomplished with a certain pair of shoes, and that seems to be missing as of late. The drop in content comes in part because trying to find a photographer on short notice is difficult and because Armando, my boyfriend and blog photographer, is focusing on work and school. School is almost over so I hope we’ll be able to resume a daily shoot. I love being able to look back and see what I wore and to remember all that has happened while wearing a specific outfit. I feel a little incomplete without some outfits being captured, but I am also trying to spread out the content that I do have. I am optimistic things will resume back to the way they were in a few months.
I hope you are having a great week! Since I didn’t share an outfit post last week I am tempted to share two this week, but we’ll see if I can live up to that!

Lady Antebellum “We Own the Night” Concert

Such a fun Friday night! I know this post came a little late, but I had a concert to attend last night. Lady Antebellum was performing at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, and I had purchased my tickets back in January. I was really excited to see them during the We Own the Night World Tour.
My outfit last night did not feel too out of place amidst all the cowboy hats and boots worn by the women, and men, there. I did have work in the morning, and the only difference was that I wore black flats to be able to run to BART after work and meet Armando in Fremont to drive down to San Jose on time. I was inspired by Hillary Scott’s dress that she wore on the Album Cover of We Own the Night with its black and nude detail, as well as because of how romantic the style looked. I admired that Hillary Sott also wore Christian Louboutins while performing, and I believe it was when I watched their video “Just a Kiss” that I really was drawn by her style. I had a blast watching them perform live, and enjoyed it more watching it with the person I know is “the one I’ve been waiting for my whole life”.
