A Thing for Churches (PS: Can you see my booty, 007?)

October 14, 2010

I have a thing for churches.  Maybe it’s the religious studies nerd in me.  Regardless, this one (the church, not the nerd) provided a great backdrop for today’s outfit.  Love how the stone works against the colors of my dress and tights.

This dress has shown up once before.  I don’t wear it often because I’m leery of its short length.  5’10′ + short skirt = way too much potential for embarrassment.  I fully affirm the beauty of lady parts, but I’m happy to keep mine under wraps.  Still, as long as I wear tights, don’t drop anything, and cross my fingers for a day without Chi breezes, I’m okay.  Just for good measure I slapped on a blazer with crazy stripes and some cognac accessories to draw the eye away from the hemline.  How’d I do?

Happy Thursday, folks.  Mine has been great and I wish the same for you.  Or, in less prissy language, hope you’re all lovin’ up your lives.  :)

PS- Did you all know that Sean is James Bond?

That's right: this boy is Bond.

    I love this outfit and one thing I always love about your pics are the settings you choose. Churches included. :)

      Thanks, lady! I’m lucky to live in a neighborhood where great settings are everywhere I look.

    You did a great job with the outfit…and the perfect places for it as well.
    A young James Bond on the loose…..hmm

    The color of those tights is perfection. Love.

    And I too love churches. I worked as a religion reporter at a newspaper once, so I spent a lot of time in many different places of worship. I loved them before, but after that I considered myself a connoisseur. The one in your photos looks awesome.

      Religion reporter? That sounds fascinating!

    Can I ask how long you’ve had those Target boots, and if they are holding up well? They are so cute, but I’ve always been hesitant about Target footwear after a couple of mishaps a few years ago.

      They’re great, but they’re not investment pieces, for sure. Clare, Kelli, and I went in together and got a lot of free shipping/buy one get one biz that made these worth buying, but if they hadn’t been cheap I might not’ve gotten them. I do have a grey suede pair (they’re still available) that I got last year that I love and that are definitely worth the money.
