When I planned this outfit I had it in my head that I was working an evening event and therefore wanted to dress up. When I found out I didn’t need to attend the event I decided to say the heck with it and wear it anyway. Full disclosure: I did take off the heels. I’m rocking the flats and couldn’t be happier. I love these booties, but they are a bit uncomfortable, I find I teeter in them a little bit.
Dear Heeled Booties,
Why must you hurt me? You are so cute, and look like you may offer some arch support. However, I never feel totally comfortable wearing you. Try to work on that.
Kisses,
Laura

In looking at my this photo of my booties, I noticed the rather unsightly teal plastic sheeting covering the end of a drainage pipe. How have I walked pass this everyday for God knows how long and not noticed this eye sore? Ugh – my landlord is nuts. I can’t wait to buy a house. Can. Not. Wait.
Almost the weekend. Almost.

Salt = sodium = bad.
Sweet = calories = bad.
Well, isn't that just a bleak outlook. I firmly believe that without salt and without sweet we all just live in a world of lettuce. Plain lettuce. Fun? No.
This blog is about life. Namely, my life. But, not that specific. I myself am simply not that interesting. I live an ordinary life, work an ordinary job and do ordinary things.
But... life is all about experiencing that feeling you get when you really, really like something. If you don't feel a little warm in your heart when you walk into a farmer's market or try on a piece of beautiful clothing that fits you perfectly (that just so happens to be a great deal!) then you should probably keep on a' movin' from my little plot of internet.
Sweeter salt is my metaphor for the good things in life, sprinkled over everything in moderation. Banana? Kinda boring. Banana smoothie - yum! White tank top? Yawn. Statement necklace layered over said tank - now we're talking!
I live in Portland, Maine. I love cooking, eating out, riding my bike and approachable fashion. This blog does not chronicle my every waking moment. This is because you will probably not be entertained by the 10th day in a row that I eat the exact same salad for lunch. It does chronicle a healthy, active, fun-filled, colorful lifestyle, in Portland and beyond.
It also covers dogs. Cute ones mostly.

Girl, I have written the same letter to my tall wedge booties. They hurt something awful, but damn they’re cute. Can’t say I blame you for switching to flats–I’d have done the same thing.
I love the outfit, and to heck with it, I’m glad you stuck with it despite not having to work. And heels. I’m with you. They make outfits look so much better, but how are they so uncomfortable. My new years resolution is to get more comfortable wearing heels on a day-to-day basis. I don’t want to just save them for special occasions.
beautiful blue!

Awww it’s too bad they’re not comfortable, because they look absolutely fabulous! And I love your blue dress, too
hahaha I love hearing about your trials and tribulations with your landlord.
Sucks, but at least it gives your readers a good laugh
