When I went through my shoes the other day, I reminded myself of a few pairs of really nice shoes I don't wear nearly enough.

Case in point are the gray/turquoise slingbacks in #1. They're not the most versatile shoes ever, but they're really pretty. I knew I wanted to wear them yesterday, but I'd gotten rid of the turquoise print dress I'd worn them with most often. So I ended up choosing a very simple gray-toned outfit (#2), with some turquoise earrings (not really visible in the pic) to tie in the colors. The skirt has a nice tweedy texture up close, but the outfit is otherwise much more basic than I usually wear. Any other ideas for what these shoes could go with?

In other closet-rediscovery news, my laundry machine was broken for a few weeks lately, so I was breaking out some clothes I hadn't worn in ages.

The day of #3, I was going to a baseball game after work in the middle of laundrylessness and wanted to wear Nats colors. Good thing I remembered this old red and white skirt (maybe 6 or 7 years?) that I stopped wearing ages ago, but kept around because I liked the print.

#4 features a dress from a quick emergency trip to Target once we realized it would be a few weeks before we'd have clean laundry again. I like the watercolor-ish print.

#5 is a favorite dress I've showed you before with a cardigan that also came from the emergency Target run.

#6 is the first wearing of my oversized striped top from NAS, which went out to dinner with my VC black tube skirt.
