flats

 Im a big fan of fashion thats not trying too hard .  But normally i hate flats - for the simple reason that they make everyones Azz  look totally flat , that they show every bit of that  last twenty lbs  every female could stand to lose ....and are basically an unkind fashion .

Today i took home ( free ) a pair of eelskin  handmade ( flat ) cowboy boots lol . 

The only reason i even considered this is because when i was working in  Barneys on my break trying on  thousand dollar pairs of  Prada  combat boots -  the  flat ones actually looked the best .  I didnt buy them ...but when i saw similar ones free of the runway i  couldnt resist ....

whats my point here ?   well I suspect im finally geting to be that girl who is actually , well  SLIM,LOL .

You know, slim without  CRUTCHES like  platform sneakers with little 3 inch  inch hidden platform heels lol . ( not hat i wouldnt JUMP on the right pair of platform sneakers ) .

but i havent pictured myself as one of those model girls who effortlessly stride around  Manhattan  in their flat motorcycle boots and tiny leather jackets and size twenty five  non stretchy jeans  and  boys department  mini t shirts  looking perfect ..... perfectly makeupless....... or  bare( and perfect )  legged  in a mini  kilt ....

yet my legs are  that good .....and, well , those boots looked darn good on me at Barneys .  In any case i couldnt resist .today .and they seem to look real good on me at home too. 

I weighed 125  in one corner of the wacky room  on my wacky scale this morning .  I dont know how seriously to take it -  im just glad i didnt weigh any HEAVIER  than 130 - lets put it that way  especially considering i  havent been allowed  to exercise .  

Im very grateful OA is working 4 me. Ive been eating a LOT less ...and working a LOT more  and a lot more happily . I even made a realistic sculpture ( the first  one in YEARS ) on my fiances boat this weekend .  WOW  !!  

Nice, Ava!  I'm so grateful that you're getting what you need from OA.  

 I know what you mean  I have a nice little NSV like this - I bought a pair of those Hunter rain boots, but my calves were a little big for them.  They "fit" but too tightly to be cute.  Now they fit and look adorable - in fact, I'm grateful they're so skinny because they make my legs look great!

Flats are kindof a must for crazy Manhattan walking.  It's helpful to be able to wear them comfortably.  Right now, I'm loving my kitten-heeled pumps because they're low for walking, but still thin the leg with their pointy toe.

I'm sooo happy that you're feeling good about how you look, Ava!  God knows you've worked so hard at it...
 

Rosa-
That must feel great to fit into those things! I KNOW what that's like.  The only Hunter style that fits my daughter's calves is the "Huntress" ... And sadly, they only come in British-sensible colors that are dour enough for the Queen.  Poor girl. And cute boots are everywhere this season.  At least I found her a couple of cute short boot styles she can wear.

Here's to the little woohoo moments.... like actually liking your reflection in the shoe department mirrors at Barneys for Ava and discovering you can jump right into your rain boots for you! 

Glad to hear that  not only are you looking fantastic, that maybe you are starting to feel that way too!
Enjoy those boots and those sexy legs!
Creating art on a boat, sounds like heaven.
Enjoy Ava, you deserve it!!
