Wear Me Already: Guess by Marciano Wedges - Days 2 & 3 + Nude Shoes

So my challenge was to wear these wedges I bought earlier this summer all week to make up for the fact that I didn't wear them all summer, not even once, until last week. You know how you wear a pair of shoes once or twice then need a break from them? Wearing these yesterday and today, I realized this is going to be the easiest challenge yet because not only are they really comfortable but I love wearing them. I love the buckles and the colour. Because they're nude, I look really, really tall. Well, taller than I would in any other colour. Then I got angry at myself for not wearing them all summer! At least I'm making up for it.

(First time I've worn this top too!)

I think I need to invest in more nude shoes. I mean, they make me look taller!

These have a bow at the back. Cute!

Wear Me Already: Miss Sixty Wedges - Day 2 + Wedges for Fall

I thought I'd show my Miss Sixty orange wedges some love again. I probably would have paired this outfit with the same old white Guess wedges I wear every day, but that would be incredibly boring and incredibly...white. It's much more fun adding a touch of colour. Plus, I feel like a giant in these! (Actual height = approx. 5'2)

Shoes: Miss Sixty; Sunglasses: Juicy Couture

Even though I am going to be desperately hanging on to summer, I do love a fall shoe/boot. Not that I plan on buying any, of course.

Oh, boy, I'm in love with these.

Nope, definitely don't want these. Nope. Definitely not. Maybe...I'll just try them on.

Even someone who used to run for her train in heels (which immediately stopped after I fell flat on my face onto slush, in front of a whole bunch of people, ruining my brand new white coat), I'm not quite sure how someone can walk in these without breaking an ankle. But either way, I think they're fierce!

I love a wedge bootie. And I only have one pair so technically...

I'm usually partial to black boots, although I do own a pair of brown boots, they have heels. I think these would fall under the "need" category then.

Oh, who am I kidding? I want them all.

Wear Me Already: Bright Orange Handbag

Wearing this purse today actually brightened up my day! 1) It felt new because it hadn't been used in years (someone actually asked if it was new!). 2) It's bright, so it made me smile (how could it not?). Working in an office can be somewhat depressing in the summer when you know the sun is shining and you're stuck on a computer AND you don't even have a window to look out of. But every time I walked back to my desk today, I would look down and see my bright orange purse (I guess my own kind of sunshine) and it would actually make me smile. I'm starting to really like this challenge.
