if the shoe fits, wear it

And that’s what I did with these AMAZING shoes, which are actually my roommate Laura’s and the second pair of heels I’ve borrowed from her to match this particular dress.  Which brings me to my theory on roommates: only live with people with whom you can share clothes, jewelry and shoes :-) Laura is actually the first roommate I’ve had who is the same shoe size as me, and let me tell you it’s awesome! 

So, I wore this dress to a wedding last month, and as many of you may remember, I bought it for $10 at a vintage store.  I got it for such a great deal because it needed a bit of DIY love.  But, even though I had only worn it once, I wanted to style it differently for its second wear.  And… I totally wanted to try rocking the red lips look.  So… here it is:

Check out how the shoes fade from brighter red to almost black in the back.  How cool?

About

What would Krissie wear? Well, jeans, a really cute t-shirt and boots for one. But what I wear to work at my uber corporate, conservative New York City office is an entirely different story. But that doesn't mean it has to be boring. Welcome to my corporate wardrobe story: what I wear and how I do it for little money and lots of style.
