I have literally had the shoes in this look for almost two years without wearing them. I was all set to return them and then I gave them one last look. See, it's not unusual for me to see things at the moment of purchase that seem completely amazing yet when they arrive in the safety of my closet, they may or may not make it out to see the light of day. 

So, I squinted my eyes and tilted my head and saw them in a different light. When paired with these printed Whit shorts, nothing about me could return these beauties. So, they have finally been worn and saved from the tragedy of return.

A couple of days ago, StyledOn.com featured me in their Community Round Up here (yay!) and the outfit that they chose as the main picture is from Memo 012: I Fedora Michael. 

There are so many times that we look to other people and other things to motivate and inspire us. That's totally not a bad thing. However, sometimes you can look over the things that you have already done, the tests that are already testimonies and inspire yourself.

When I perused the look from Memo 012, I was completely inspired and it birthed the look for today.
