carry me home

Oct142010_0059
I wore this to work on Wednesday with a flat boot. I hate to admit it, but my feet were killing me in the platform heels I stupidly chose to wear during an all day event I planned this past Tuesday. I was left with no other choice but to let my feets rest the following day. After work, I headed back to my hometown and attended a wine tasting event/fundraiser. My friend Kyle (who dates the lovely Haley from my last post) had an extra ticket so I went with him and his mom. 
Hanging out with Kyle and his mom brings me back to high school and I feel young again. Kyle told his mom on me for texting him while driving and when Kyle's mom asked, "What were you doing reading her texts?" Without hesitation, he responds, "I thought you were calling me, Mom." Later, Kyle says "Mom, I think Andrea and I will be the youngest philanthropists there." Let me note we didn't pay for our own tickets and took advantage of free wine and food. We were, however, the youngest moochers there.

i love this outfit and i LOVE your hair. im a new reader and i have decided that i am officially jealous of your long blond locks. the grass is always greener, right! i have flat, lifeless, brown hair which is basically your antonym :)

Alyssa Katherine said...

I love that you wear heels and flats throughout your blog. I am a college student and its so difficult to wear heels all the time.

thanks for giving me great ideas in flats.
