I love it when I end up wearing something that ends up being really weather appropriate for the day, it's hard to tell what would be best with this microclimate business.
I received these Aldo heels at the beginning of the month and was sort of perplexed in regards to them. I loved the idea, and especially how they look from the back, but my warped mind found the heel to not be high enough. I know, it's sick. I also think this dress is really long, if that gives you any idea what kind of dementia I am now suffering from. So I tossed them in a room downstairs in a rather cruel manner, to decide their fate at a later point, while showering the other heels from the same order with inordinate amounts of attention. However, this morning I decided in a rush while leaving the house (alllmost didn't even have time to make my peanut butter and honey sandwich, so frenzied was I) that these felt right and I would officially break them in. I mean, it's probably good to have a couple pairs of heels that aren't cripplingly high on hand for prolonged wear sessions, right?
I must say I was quite pleased with them and found them extremely comfortable, probably since I am used to that higher inch-age. A happy ending to a trite tale.

So odd, but i was literally just pondering the purchase of those heels. I'm really short, and love a good heel. How tall do you think the heel is? oh, and how tall are you?
love it!! the heels are tdf. i think its the velcro strap that has me buzzing. xoxo
Hi!
I'm 5'7", the heels are probably like 3.5-4"? Not sure. I would recommend them though!
I love the idea of velcro straps instead of the tedious task of clasping innate holes. Are the shoes comfortable, though?
Once you start wearing 5-6 inch heels and shirts as dresses, you can't go back.
I just cant get enough of that dress! Last night too after you posted your amazing teen vogue encounter, I read your interview. Very interesting, I think half of it is your amazing way of writing. You've inspired me yet again, this time to stop being such a sloppy writer haha
nothing below 4 inches!!
cute dress!
LOVE those heels. I do, however, love the first pair more and have been contemplating if I absolutly need them :) Heh.
oh goodness those shoes are beautiful. I can not try them on, or any other shoes.
oh yeah, i can't believe you found that pretty dress short and the heels not high enough. oh well, everyone has different points of view. hihi. i love the outfit. i wish we could see how the dress looks like without the jacket though. some other time i hope.=)
Jenn, so agree that Velcro is awesome, plus it makes them more custom adjustable. Yup they're really comfortable! :)
Erika haha so true.
Aww R that's really sweet, I really appreciate that you like my writing! Sometimes I'm not sure whether or not I sound too random/stream of consciousness.
Newlyinspired, I love the other ones more too. You do need them hehe.
Mej! I know, I've lost it. I need dual heel/hemline therapy. I did a post on this dress a while back - http://www.fashiontoast.com/2008/03/ruffles-zippers-and-chains.html
love the outfit! i have the skirt version of that dress that i love to bits. i also love your bracelet! where is it from?
I think the tights being slightly sheer really adds a lot to this outfit. Velcro straps could be dangerous for sheer tights though, I hope you didn't have any trouble :)
I need a pair of heels like those!
You look awesome! What if everybody had such an incredible environment to take their photos in! ^^ Love your blog! :)
Oh my gosh Rumi you thought that heel was too short! haha I still love that Topshop dress, v.pretty.
Outfit looks great! And the heels! They're not tall enough!?@# I wish I can wear those for more than half an hour w/o limping!
Haha, I do think you rocked the high heel and cute dresses look incredibly well. But those "slightly less" high heels are amazing too!
You look great, I love the way you mix together different items that in the end create a well pulled together look! Voila! ♥
love love love it. The green over the floral with the white handbag is ingenious, not to mention the shoes. Flawless!!!!!!
omg....Love the dress!
The sheer tights with those shoes looks awesome. I think sheer tights are my new obsession.
Oh yes it's a happy ending! The association dress+shoes is really nice, I swear!
i love the heels!! im totally going to try these on this weekend! thank you for the inspiration!
Rumi, congratulations on being featured in TeenVogue i'm so proud of you! And you're all sorts of fabulous and a great source of inspiration for me, so keep it up! I think you'll make it big someday :)

Why am I always lagging when I want to comment? Hmph.
I can't believe you were about to throw the dress and shoes out! I think this is one of the best concoctions you have had in ages.
It's funny when we get into a cycle of wearing similar combinations then all of sudden- bam- you start getting compliments from left to right. Although, you are never short on compliments, it is really nice to see this outfit that is you but not so much as recent postings.
love it!
i heart your writing even MORE than your pitch perfect fashion choices.
hearts!
i know what u mean about wearing high heels, after a while they never seem high enough.
that dress is really amazing
I understand that every blogger needs a form of style. You certainly have yours, and I love it. Really, I do. But come on Rumi. It's the same thing every post. Floral dress + jacket + heels. Shirt something + heels. When are you going to spice it up a little? I adored you in the beginning, but I'm starting to get bored now.
Short something*
Hi!
Im 5´7" just like you and therefore I have always felt way to tall when wearing heels. But Im now trying to get over my fobia.
Anyway, I have som 3" and 3´5" heels and trying to figure out how other people do to walk in them.
Is it practise I need? Do u get used to walking in heels or am I just not made for it?
Im so tired and confused right now so I cant even write. But what Im trying to ask u is: Do u have any problems with walking in heels? Have u ever had any problem? Do I have to practice and then I will feel naturally confortable in heels?
I just wanna be one of those girls who always walking around in glamourous heels in their everyday life, without any problem.
Thanks for a great blog!
Good night!
Sandra
WOW... I'm at loss of words to describe how well everything goes together. Actually, it just came to me. The items your outfit consists of goes well together like peanut butter and jelly, or eggs and ketchup.
Sheer tights are definitely hot...
You're just born to be stylish, WOW.
hi!
i have to say you inspired me to start my own blog! you have amazing style and an interesting blog!
Hi,
Your blog is sensational and inspired me to start my own blog =]. I've linked you on it.
superb, just superb!
how high are those heels?? i am boggling over your warped mind. i do, however, see how that dress is too long -- for you. (gurl, your skirts and shorts have been getting SHORTER AND SHORTER lately!)
anyway, i was wondering if you could please change my name in your blogroll? it's just "dreamecho", not "hello-dreamecho." i had to put the "hello-" in front because "dreamecho.blogspot.com" was taken aeons ago. thanks :)
That dress is adorable, too bad we dont have a topshop here!
*Sigh* To live in California and wear open toe shoes without tights... We traded snow for rain in the Midwest.
lol! i don't know what to say. those shoes have got to be at least 3.5 inches tall! i wore something that height to work yesterday and everyone kept asking me how i was walking in them. i said to them, "really slowlyyyy." tell me, how do you not wipe out in such tall heels?!
i tried those heels on and i couldnt pull them off. you can though!
The floral pattern looks so vibrant and colourful in that lighting! It looks lovely!
I'm with the other girls who remarked upon your ability to wear such tall high heels and so often. Especially in such rugged, rocky, grassy dirt terrain.
I would be treading very slowly and cautiously, weary of skidding over some unsteady pebbles or having the heel sink into a soft patch of soil. Indeed, I'd be struggling!
Sandra, I wear high heels at most once or twice a week. I could suggest you try adding insoles to your boots or attach adhesive cushions to eashe discomfort. They're pretty cheap and you can buy them in any shoe shop.
Anyway, I love your blog Rumi! You have impeccable taste and the photography is fantastic.

what brand tights? something about them is extra cool. shiny yet dark and don't look like they are going to snag in 2 seconds :)
Nice!
I love the outfit, but my favourite piece has to be that studded bracelet! Was it a vintage find?
I love your shoes! I wish we had Aldo in Sweden.
