Feelin’ a bit Ballerina-esque
I got a pair of shoes from Wanted Shoes the other day for a really amazing deal, and they finally came, so I had to take some pics with them! They seem a little ballerina inspired in their styling, and I love that, so I pulled out a little of my inner (wannabe) ballerina – it was fun =-)
aren’t these shoes cute? I just love the strap around the ankle, and they have a bit of a wedged heel, so they give me a tiny bit of height, while the cute strap helps to keep them securely on my feet. I really like these electric blue tights too; I got them on my excursion with my daughter Idelle that I posted about a couple of posts back. I am so enjoying colored tights and the fun and pop they can bring to an otherwise not so exciting outfit.
skirts like this are made for twirling in!
ballet fingers too, lol
I took some minor ballet lessons as a little girl, and I’ve always remembered “ballet fingers,” meaning: put your two middle fingers together, separate from your pointer fingers and pinkies, gracefully bend them in, and let the other fingers bend naturally (they will tend to bend a little bit less than you’re bending the two middle fingers.) I always do it when I play ballerina – it’s like bringing back a little piece of my childhood, and it does look more graceful to hold one’s hands that way – try it! *wink*
I promise I’m not mad here! - - just experimenting with looking at a camera head on with no real expression, kinda like the runway models do, hehe (and playing with effects of course, can’t resist *smile*)
and the woodland ballerina (or dryad) walks away..
Narnia? The Wardrobe Wanderer – that’s me, get it???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? (you need to have read ‘The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis to understand) -or I suppose you could have seen the movie, but you really SHOULD read the book regardless (wink, wink)

Those blue tights look really cool with that outfit!
Thanks Mom! You are so talented at sewing – you made me such wonderful costumes
You do look so pretty and graceful, an I love the “art shots”! I remember doing little ballet moves with you out at the double T ranch when you were a girl! LOL. Doncha wish sometimes they would have had more opportunities for budding dancers/ actresses in the area? Love you! V
Thank you Aunt V! Yes, I do wish there were more of that around here – I’ve been craving a city for awhile now – I wonder if that’ll ever happen?
Adorible!
Love the shots……intriguing BLUE tights too!!! ♥

Crazy photographs are crazy, and bright blue socks are bright.

Your shoes are adorable! I’m also a bit fan of ankle straps, and wedges are super easy to walk in.
