I am constantly struck by light and how it passes through objects, the cast and and hue that it creates. As I came up the stairs

yesterday, I was engulfed in how cool my room looked with the light passing through the bamboo shades. If you know me at all, you know my room was a bit of a mess so capturing the whole thing was not an option. But pulling my favorite pair of shoes from the closet and using them for the beautiful models they are was a great option. I usually do not like to stage photos, but this just seemed right. They are my favorites #1 because they are red. Hello? #2 because they are patent leather they shine! What a comination! #3 because they are some brand I've never heard of so I pretend they are expensive. #4 I bought them at the gap outlet for $3. Does it get any better? Really? I wear my sweet little shiny red shoes with this wonderful "Breakfast at Tiffany's" little black dress that is made of taffetta...it is sleeveless and fitted at the bodice with a thin black belt at the waist. The skirt is super poofy and knee length. The best part....it has pockets!!!!!! The other best part....it was $12.99 on Target.com!!!! I love to shop. Help cannot be found for me. Even more than shopping, I loves me a bargain!!! The sadness of this strory is that I have had only one opportunity to wear my stunning frock and shoes. Life in Owensboro does not really call for many cocktail party opportunities. One of these days, I would like to host a backyard garden cocktail party where we eat yummy food, drink good libations, wear our pretty duds, and enjoy good company. Be watching....your invitation might just be in the mail!
