Christmas Goodies: Dressing Up the Wardobe

My family (including my "new" family in Dan's fam) knows that I am pretty easy to please when it comes to clothes and accessories. I don't have a particular style and am happy and excited to incorporate new things into my wardrobe.

I got one of the biggest items on my wish list: a pair of saddle-colored, knee-high boots with a medium heel! My in-laws gifted me with one of the pairs on my November "Boot Envy" post... the gorgeous Arturo Chiangs from PiperLime.com. Not to mention Dan and I had a great time visiting his rents in Florida. :)

Both black and brown have been marked down to $89.99 on Piper Lime (a steal). Note - since posting this, I've read several complaints on Piper Lime that these boots are not real leather - so buyer beware.)

Wahoo! I am already brainstorming all the ways I can wear these boots. Like with this dress. Oh, and this one...


LOOVE this cream, wool cowl neck sweater my dad and stepmom snagged at The GAP. They know that from my high school days working there, I very much like GAP and its classic yet modern looks. What I love about this sweater is that I can dress it up (wear it to work with patterned pencil skirt) or dress it down (wear it with skinny jeans and my new brown boots).

My good friend Lauren always spoils me with super cute, super thoughtful gifts (often shoes, purses and accessories). This year, she gave me a cobalt blue, studded clutch that I am head over heels for. This color (which is actually similar to a scarf she gave me a few years ago) matches about everything in my closet. Love.

Clutch by Urban Expressions (certified Vegan, btw). Link to Baghaus' collection of reasonably-priced Urban Expression bags here.

A Life Fulfilled hopes that all of your holidays were extra fantastic!

Pre-Thanksgiving Crazy Boot Wednesday

It may feel like a Friday... but it's still a (Crazy Boot) Wednesday... Thanks to the office ladies who participated in the fun. We were double up on participation last week.

(The boots third in from the right belong to my company's owner/CEO)

Sorry, AJ. Didn't mean to block your awesome wedge boots!

And e-mailing in from Tifton, Georgia, is a little man named Will. Check out Will and his super rad, super tough cowboy boots:

Rockin'

Crazy Boots Wednesday (More Join in the Fun)

Just another regular Wednesday awesome Crazy Boots Wednesday.

Coworkers from left to right: (me), Vondia, Kathryn, Ethleen

Take two. (Maria, get your boots soon so you can join in on the fun!)

I recruited a few more ladies to wear fun boots (I think my Tuesday e-mail said, "Alright ladies. It's on tomorrow. Crazy Boots Wednesday." Hump day is a little more fun when you're wearing fun shoes...

And speaking of shoes, remember to send in your answers: What's the fiercest pair of shoes in your closet? Send photos — and tell the story behind your shoes (why they're so fierce, where you found them, what feedback you get when you wear them, how you feel when you rock 'em out, etc.). Send your submissions in to lifefulfilledatl@gmail.com by 10pm Thursday night (November 19).

Kathryn (Michael Kors boots pictured above) decided we should call Friday "Sexy Shoes Friday" to go along with my Audience Participation Friday theme. So stay tuned for Kathryn's (and others') sexy/fierce shoes!
