Space Shoes, Meet Space Shuttle

February 4, 2013

DH suggested that we go out and try to see the space shuttle Endeavor today, hoping that the Super Bowl would thin out the crowds. What better time to baptize my new galaxy oxfords??

#4 is from one of the lead-up exhibits - in case it's too small to read, the sing says, "TOUCH THE TIRES!" You don't have to tell DH twice. Not in all-caps with an exclamation mark!

    It is cool to see the oxfords in their natural habitat. You look sleek and summery!

  • Spiffy replied 11 years ago

    Those shoes are so fantastic

  • Beth Ann replied 11 years ago

    Ah, what a fun day!! Love the outfit and the shoes. Were they comfy?

  • Nadya replied 11 years ago

    How exciting to get to touch the shuttle - I would be all over that too! I really like the oxfords with the longer skirt - this, to me, is a great example of modern.

    The oxfords look great, hope they were comfy. We all stayed outside our building watching the shuttle do its fly over. It's really an amazing thing. I'm right near the Dulles Air & Space (Udvar Hazy) and DH and DS could spend days in there.

    Rae,

    Love the shoes!

    And I'm so jealous that you got to see the space shuttle. (I wanted to be an astronaut when I was growing up.)

  • Jaime replied 11 years ago

    You look amazing! Love the midi and the shoes are out of this world!

    I love the shoes, and the skirt and top look great together.

  • Transcona Shannon replied 11 years ago

    Perfect combination Rae! Were the shoes comfortable for their first official outing? And hubby's picture is just cracking me up - lol!

  • replied 11 years ago

    Fantastic modern look. The shoes look very stylish and comfy.
    Fab picture of the shuttle too, I'm envious!

  • Tina.b replied 11 years ago

    Just love the asymmetric sleeves of your tank and it pairs perfectly with that skirt. Looks so comfortable and stylish. The shoes are the perfect finishing touch and I love that you wore them to see the space shuttle.

  • Suz replied 11 years ago

    Ooh - love the tank and skirt as well as the shoes! Perfect for the outfit and the occasion! I hope they were comfortable.

  • Sarah A replied 11 years ago

    Super great! The shuttle looks cool, almost as cool as the shoes :)

  • Debora replied 11 years ago

    Rae, thanks for sharing this! I would love to see the Endeavor one day. Love your new shoes!

  • catgirl replied 11 years ago

    Fab! I went climbing yesterday - the rock gym was nearly empty!

  • Aida replied 11 years ago

    SO FUN! Both the outfit and the outing :D

  • replied 11 years ago

    Those oxfords are awesome, so are you ;)

    I have been wanting to see the Enterprise at South Street Seaport (at USS Intrepid) but alas, I can't seem to make it. Now I really want to see it;)

  • Diana replied 11 years ago

    Awesome! Love the oxfords with the black and grey.

    (Also, the colors of your outfit + the space shuttle/galaxy theme are totally reminding me of BSG, and now I want to rewatch it.)

  • rachylou replied 11 years ago

    Haha! Didn't know what to expect. Didn't know that it would be literal!

    Superb ensemble! You definitely fit right in with the future of tomorrow :)

I'm just your average working stiff who loves nice things and hates to pay for them. This blog outlines my efforts to navigate that treacherous shopping/saving divide through swappin', thriftin', and even a little resellin'. Many of the pieces in my wardrobe cost me just $1! We've heard a lot about people "living above their means" in recent years; I'm championing the concept of living large *below* your means - whatever that means for you. :)
