The Lady Hi Tops

Remember the Nike Outbreak hi tops from Lady Foot Locker? Well, they are part of the Zodiac collection and were inspired by the twins, Gemini, and I'm a crazy Gemini and it's my birthday so I'm wearing them today. And I LOVE them. So far my croissant/bagel guy, my office-mate, two other co-workers and some of the guys who work in Bryant Park have complimented them.

And this is not the first time I've worn them. The first time I didn't wear socks with them as I was late for work and possessed only dirty laundry. I'd rather go sockless than wear dirty socks. I was also standing on my feet all day and didn't develop a single blister. Impressive. The Outbreaks ($69.99) are in-store at Lady Foot Locker on 34th Street.

Here a photo I made Husband take just before I made him drive me to the subway station (birthday week demands):

Sorry about the blurry picture but I like it because I am making the exact same face my nephew & almost everyone else in my family makes when taking pictures. That's genes for you.

But aren't the shoes great? The bright colors cheer me up and I literally bounce down steps in them. This is not normal behavior for me, it is the shoes, I swear. And I don't even dislike the huge Nike logo on the side and I'm pretty anti-logo. Speaking of anti-logos, these also come in pink and green, prepsters!

By the way, the tunic/dress is from Daffy's (last year), the belt from Forever 21 (last year), the jeans are pdc from Strawberry (this year) and the gold aviators are from Forever 21 ($5.90, yesterday, love them and they don't dig into your head). This is my favorite "I'm sleeping in because it's my birthday but I've got to get my ass to work sometime so just throw this on" top/dress.

Strawberry Alert

Strawberry on 34th Street has some Paper Denim & Cloth jeans for $29.99. Everyone in my office is aghast: "But how?"* Most are skinny jeans and probably at least last season, but who's giving up on skinny jeans yet? There are: low, peg leg blacks (right) in 28, 29 and 32; low, straight blues (far right) in 28 and 31; and a darker blue in 27, 28 and I think 30. Need I say that these are LONG, soft, and fit like a glove?

*Is this rumor that Paper Denim & Cloth has gone under true? That would help clear up the Strawberry mystery, although the Berry does occasionally surprise one with random designer offerings.
