I’m all about simple outfits these days so I ended up on jeans and a tank top. To make it a little more fun I put on all my bird necklaces.

Jeans: Cheap Monday
Tank: H&M
Necklaces: Tama Pieces, eBay and H&M
Purse: eBay
Shoes: eBay

Yesterday I got both the La Redoute and H&M fall catalog in the mail, but H&M’s line was yet not to be found on the internet. Now it’s up though so you can start shopping from there as well. even though H&M’s online selection is nothing compared to what you find in the stores they have a few treats there as well. I wish I wasn’t so short on money!

The Beginning

It all started several years ago when flipping through a fashion magazine. There they were, tan knee high boots with a round toe. It was love at first sight and I believe they were Marc Jacobs. As I couldn’t afford the originals I started searching for copies. At that time the pointy toe ruled the world and I quickly discovered that a round toed boot would be hard to get.

The End (I thought)

Two years ago the kind of shoe I had been searching for finally entered the stores of my price range. I bought the first pair I found. They were in fake leather and the heels were thin and wore down fast. They weren’t at all what I had fallen in love with, but the closest I could get. I settled with them and was pretty content. Something was missing though.

The Turning Point

A few years had gone by since my first sighting of the perfect shoes. They weren’t forgotten, but I had put them behind me. It had been a year since I settled with the cheap replacement. Then suddenly one day I saw them. These were from Vagabond. They had the perfect color, shape and quality. I fell in love all over again. For different reasons, one being that they were more than $200, I let them slip away. How my heart was aching! Even though it felt like the right thing to do at the time I couldn’t really settle with my decision.

The Happy Ending

Yesterday I went into a shoe store looking at the sale and there they were, 50% off. Only one pair left in my size and I had no money. The guy in the counter said they ordinarily didn’t hold off shoes on sale, but he was willing to do it anyway. I had 24 hours to come up with the money. This time I wouldn’t let them slip away. And I didn’t. I managed to get back the money I had paid for rent and this morning I went down to the store. I was really nervous, terrified that something would go wrong. Luckily, everything worked out and I got my beloved shoes. The shoes I had waited years to get my hands on. Now we will be together until the end of time.

I love animals on jewelry, especially those old familiar ones that are borderlining to boring, and to me that would be cows and elks. Yesterday I finally found the perfect necklace on eBay, and on my hunt I came across many nice items for you.

The deer I won yesterday you can get here, bambi pendant, deer pin, moose brooch and at last a cow pendant.
