Sometimes I Surprise even ME!

At this point, I don't. even. know. who. I. AM! I mean, knee socks? With heels? Seriously Serene?! You really think you can pull this off? Just who the heck do you think you are?! Welllllll, I'm Serene darnit and frankly, I think I knocked those sassy little knee socks/heels out of the PARK! I had on my black boots with the socks to begin with. Then these little Mary Jane like heels peeked out at me and said, "I dare you!" So I yanked off the boots, slapped on the MJs and guess what? Elvis is back in the building! I was soooooo surprised at how much I liked it. But don't take my word for it. Take a look at the pics and give me your honest (Serene, it looks fabulous!) opinion. Have I mentioned how criticism gives me hives?

  2. Thanks Jess!! Terri, I actually wore this to church, but plan on wearing it to work. I'll have to put up my shield to deflect some quizical looks, but I've already decided that if I'm going to be adventurous and as long as I'm not inappropriate in how I dress, I'm going to get some "Yeah, Serene, I just don't get it." LOL I actually work with some great people, but I do live in a small town; so it's easy to turn heads here (in a what the heck is she wearing sort of way).
