Dreams Don't Work Unless You Do

One thing I did not realize til this outfit post was the difference in response between pedestrians, bicyclists and people in their cars, driving by. Can you guess?Photobucket

New shoes - Steve Madden, dress - Forever 21, bag - Aldo, hat - ? (it's 10 years old!), ring - boutique in Miami, necklace - JCPenney, cuff - Mom

This is from my experience :) Pedestrians often find it too awkward (I'm assuming) to make commentary on whatever you might be doing, since their pace is slow. People driving in their cars would be wasting their time if they were to say "hey, you look cool" because you'd never hear it, or at the most, they could honk or holler. But BICYCLISTS, who knew? They are going by at just the right speed to throw out a (albeit short) sentence and maybe even smile! Ha! And somehow I picked one of the busiest bike routes to take photos on! Haha x 10!

This outfit was basically created around my shoes. I got the new Steve Madden Dynemite sandals in the mail yesterday and was way too excited to put them on! They fit perfectly, and are amazingly high, but it's somehow not hard to walk in at all! I would like to argue with those that say they are the most comfortable high heels they own. After 2 hours of walking in them I was not very happy! But perhaps those people have too many uncomfortable heels. :)

Oh and can you tell this is my first post using my new lens, a 50 mm 1.8d Versus the 35 mm 1.8d.

For my title: you have to just get out there and do something about what you want or else it's never going to happen. When I saw the phrase, "Dreams don't work unless you do", it was just... wow. So true! And I want to say thank you to everyone supporting me and my blog and for all the opportunities that have been opened up to me! I am rather backlogged on returning comments and the portraits I mentioned last week are still in the works. I am continuing to try to fit in everything I can, and also want everyone to know that this is so far the best start to my year that I have had in a very, long, time. :)

Thanks to my sisters great eye!! She basically said it is like a constant eye test, constantly focusing til you think it is clear. And thank you so much haha, did you notice my hat is 10 years old? I bought it when I was 15!

And YES!!!! I know!!! my friend has a video game live stream and somehow he got like 1000 of his viewers to vote!! it still all comes down to the judges call in 27 days, so we'll see what happens. But for now, we don't have to hustle as much to get votes, we're really thankful :)

I laughed with your conclusion about people on the street while you're taking photos, always they have that look of 'what are you doing?' haha.

Love your shoes, sorry to read that after 2 hours it's not easy to walk with them, it happens to me to when I put high heels that's why I prefer platforms with heels, they help a lot.

Damn ... those shoes look so beautiful though. I don't think I can walk properly in high heels as I wear flip flops on a daily basis. But those shoes are just so gorgeous that it'd be too sad not to wear them again.

Marianne M. said...

Hey Jess, your hair and make up looks fab as always, what kind of eye make up do you apply? maybe u should do a make up tutorial or maybe its the shape of your eyes that makes me swoon.
don't know. but love it.
the purple dress looks stunning on your skin tone and combined with the brown hat it warms up your face.
great outfit girl.
