I like to wear something 'festive' - red or green with a velvet or plush fabric. even if it's just a vest. This year I used the Charles David Baci red-bow pumps going on sale at Amazon as an excuse/justification to also buy the fabric I'd been mooning over buying. So, of course I picked up the shoes to go with the floor length halter gown I then made with the fabric (a gorgeous red/black rose lace with matching printed velvet on the skirt). It'll probably be another year before I embark on another sewing project, who knows. Maybe I'll get a chance to take a picture of the shoes & dress together in a few weeks - I'm stuck in a hotel with my 3 kids until I close on our new home.

On a Christmas post-script, it started snowing just before we left to meet the family for dinner & presents, so I wound up wearing my trusty black Naturalizer boots instead of the red slingbacks.

Sigh.
