Purple skirt
Originally uploaded by ursulageorges

I now own a purple silk skirt to wear at nobu's wedding. It looks like this, or, if you prefer seeing my face to seeing the colour of the skirt, like this.

It occurs to me that I probably need shoes. My remotely nice shoes are a heavily beaded pair of brown flats, and Dansko sandals of a reddish brown colour. Does looking remotely dressed up require that I not wear brown shoes with a black shirt? And does this skirt require shoes that are not flat?

I like black shoes just fine, but I figured we could rule out the Docs with the kitten-scratched toes up front . . .

ha, not unless you want to look like a refugee from the early '90s . . .

I have to say, there is nothing like actually living in Seattle to convince you that flannel shirts and boots are appropriate year-round attire.

So annie is wearing white combat boots with her wedding dress. They are very cute and have flowers and butterflies on them. I was going to wear some long velvet dr. marten boots, but they sent me the wrong size, so I may just end up with black wedge sandals. Anyway, it would be amusing if we all ended up in boots. Well, maybe not Karlie, who I just can't picture in boots.

Oh, and I got a dress. It is silk and I am going to dye it. Will post pic when it is more colorful. It is currently white with black lace around the waist. It is a super neat grecian style thing that actually makes me look like I have a chest. I will probably dye as close to black as I can get after the wedding so I will have a nice formal dress around.

All boots would be pretty hilarious. Though black ballerina flats seem more likely to win the "costing less than skirt" prize . . .

Yay for dress! Where did you find it?

Nordstroms. Well, I have some black china flats you could wear. I just have to dig them out of their hiding space. I think I even have some velvet ones somewhere, but I *know* I have plain cloth ones.

Apparently all of the groomsmen will be wearing swords to. They can whack anyone who objects. I suppose we could stomp on their toes.

I broke & bought these boots:
