feline fierce

Aug252010_0045
Ever feel like you've been thrown to the wolves? It describes how I've been feeling lately. I've been stressed and anxious about a few things, but I know when I have to work through challenges in life it's really just a positive thing. I've noticed my recent draw to animal print and when I wore this outfit to work, I felt a little more tough and a little more confident. It perfectly reflects my recent feeling of empowerment.

I just snagged these when I put the tights on for the photos and you can see. Oh well. I think the garbage can in the background detracts from it. Ha.

Erin of Calivintage sold these beauties to me. I love towering over people at work in them. I've only tripped a couple times so far too!

Really loving the shoes. I like that towering feeling too :) Although taking the stairs is a bit of a challenge in tall shoes (for me anyway)

My hair is not as great an accessory as yours though.

I wear a lot of stocking in the fall/winter and I can go through about 10 through the season because of snags and rips lol. I really adore the dimensions of the skirt.

You look very fierce (sah-shay shante haha)

You deserve an award for that :)

Santina said...

I love everything about that skirt: the shape, ruffles and the bow! I love anything with a bow. Those shoes perfectly finish off this look, and I, too, love towering over people with big heels! I'm almost six feet to start with, so add five inches and I am definitely one of the tallest people in the room!
