Embrace the eyes...

I honestly hate wearing my glasses on most occasions; but other times, I love feeling like a geek. Well, that's what a lot of people thought I was when I was in high school, then later eased up a little bit in college. Of course, I can't ease up too much especially when you have to know all those medications and information that comes with being a nurse.

Well! well!, back to my topic: embracing my eyes; there are days that I have thoughts of getting a laser surgery, but I can't get this thought of my head: what if something goes wrong and my eyes are damaged more than it was???--for that reason alone, I will quietly stick to my contacts and 'geek' glasses. If my mom and dad could stick to theirs for years, then I better start loving it :-P

Today I have no idea what to do. It is raining outside; it's cloudy and gloomy; so I will just enjoy my hot chocolate and lost TV time. Yay!! to Friday is tomorrow!!!

Have a great day lovely!!!
xoxo

Riding boots: Can you wear them over non-skinny pants?

I've been thinking about getting riding boots for a long because a) I love the classic style b) They won't hurt me as much as high-heeled boots and c) I like to pretend that I'm an equestrian champion.
Hermes riding boots are the crème de la crème but I won't shell out $2000 for boots, even if they are Hermes. That said, they are plenty of other riding boots that are still hot.
My dilemma is that since I don't wear skinny pants I am not sure whether I can pull of wearing riding boots and flared pants. I don't like it when I see women stuffing their jeans into their boots, and the result looks messy and unkempt. I don't want that. I like the clean lines of a skinny pant sliding effortlessly into a boot. But since I won't wear skinny pants, that may be difficult. But Hermes does give me some hope, as models from the S/S 08 collection wore jodhpurs and loose-fitting pants with their riding boots.


Ok so I know I'm not a model but I think I could pull this off as long as the pants are bunched up at the top of the boots. But they can also be worn with leggings or tights. Too bad I don't wear either.

Here are some riding boots that make me want to jump on a horse:

Coach Whitley Boot


Coach Winslow Boot

Tory Burch boot
Bottega Veneta boot


What do you think? Can riding boots be worn with non-skinny pants?
