Cozy Gap Slipper Booties

Gap has a winter collection of the coziest-looking slippers I have ever seen! I’ve never tried the slipper bootie before, but as a combination between a a sweater, a cozy pair of socks and a thick durable pair of slippers it seems like a pretty genius invention. I can just imagine cuddling up on the couch with a hot cup of cocoa, a DVR full of Gossip Girl and Project Runway episodes, and some Gap slipper booties on my feet for the best weekend ever.

Gap Slipper Booties in Spanish Moss $29.50

These knit sweater cable-knit booties come in six different colors. A sueded bottom gives the slippers traction and the pom pom ties around the top are just darn cute.

Gap Navajo Slipper Booties in Gray $29.50

This is another knit slipper bootie style that is more similar to a sock with ribbing and a small geometric design at the top.

If I still lived in New York, these would be the first item on my list of casual Winter fashion must-haves…

Would You Wear Brown Skinny Riding Pants?

Since it’s that time when I’m already beginning to dream about fall clothes, I thought I would pose this question: would you wear these brown skinny riding jeans? I found them at The GAP ($70), and I can’t decide whether or not they’d be flattering on those of us who are size 16 or 18, with a generous booty.

If I were to style these brown jeans up, I’d go for a glossy pair of leather boots and a tunic this fall. . . and if I do buy them, I might wear them earlier with a pair of multi-strapped sandals and a chiffon blouse (plus beads and silver cuffs).

So what do you think? I suppose what’s making me worry more than the “riding seam detail at the knees” (cute or ugly?) is the old “should we wear skinnies are plus girls?” debate. While I’m all for any pair of jeans that flatter the body, it’s always better to stick to a smart shape will a high rate of success. Are these the ones?

These GAP jeans are available up to size 20.

The Change Purse

Once upon a time everyone had a tiny purse to hold all of their change. Not sure when they disappeared, but they are coming back and since I have only a tiny change area in my wallet, I think I will be picking up something like this!
