Holiday Velvet-Marc Jacobs

For a time of year that is about giving we sure do spend lots of time concentrating on ourselves. I mean think about holiday party attire. It's shiny, sequins and golds galore. Or its soft, plush and rich via our friend velvet. Do you see the irony in looking good while feeling good?
Anyhow, these are velvet gems, dark purple Marc Jacobs from the Fall 2005 collection, have never been worn lovelies. They are a size 40 and truth be told fit more like a 39 hence why I cannot wear them :(

Any simple little black number will do as your feet are showcased, with a little toe cleavage I might add. ( check out style.com for the looks paired with these)


** Time is overrated**

Translation: We all wish there was an extra day in the weekend or there were 26 hours in a day instead of 24. But why when procrastination creates your best work. You sit and linger and doubt your wonderful self.

Closet translation: Go with your first instinct on what you're wearing. And I believe Coco Chanel said it best, take off the last accessory you put on and you're ready to go.
