I know you’ve already seen me wear these shoes, but I haven’t told you the story of when I bought them! It was the weekend the new season of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt was released, and we had a couple friends over for a marathon. I can only stare at a screen for so long before I need to stare at another screen (hey, I technically count as a “millennial”), so I got out my laptop and started perusing that day’s Ann Taylor sale.

I spotted these gingham pumps and showed them to my friend Damon who happens to be a huge Wizard of Oz fan. He encouraged me to buy them and wear them with a red dress – it would be a “reverse Dorothy”! We then realized “reverse Dorothy” sounded like a sex position and it didn’t seem appropriate to think of young Judy Garland like that, but still…here’s my reverse Dorothy outfit. Thanks for the inspiration, Damon!

I love the happy little pink pigeons hiding on this shirt. You do you, pink pigeons. I just got these hot pink drop earrings, and I almost never wear earrings when my hair is down, but I decided to wear them with this outfit with my hair tucked a little behind my ears. It just seemed appropriate to have pink earrings peeking out this [deceptively thick] mane of mine, to match the pink pigeons peeking out of my army jacket. I’m pretty sure this says something about my personality; I’m just not exactly sure what. Maybe that I like pink but that I want to make sure you know I don’t like pink because I’m supposed to. All the women who independent: throw your hands and pigeons up at me.
