Wearing Now: Barely Making the Cut

I'm going to be honest - this is a tad on the short side for me when it comes to work-wear.  And I'm fully aware that I'll probably be a bit insecure the entire day.  But, I liked the dress too much to make a change...and so a little insecurity on a plain old office day shouldn't be too bad. 

Plus it still falls more than 2 inches below my fingertips - isn't that the rule??

Black Boyfriend Blazer - DKNY

Tights - DKNY

Belt - Salvatore Ferragamo

Boots - Prada

Purse - Chanel

These Prada boots are the most comfortable shoes I own.  Yes - it's true.  How could that be?  They're boots and boots are never as comfortable!  Not to mention 4-inch heeled boots! 

But, friends, here's the proof: 

Against my own fashion guidelines, I've worn these boots under my slacks (no! I hate that! pumps look much so better with slacks!) for long standing hours at major medical conventions.  And, And, And!!!  I'm not crippled by the end of the day! 

It's an absolute miracle.  Thank you Miuccia Prada for making amazingly comfortable leather boots so that I can still walk normally out of the exhibit floor hall without looking like I've been a complete idiot for wearing tall heels on a 9-hour standing day!  ...... holy-run-on!!!!

And here they are, always stored with love:

***Edited to add:  Solution!  I took off the belt before heading into work and gained another inch or two in length.  Winner!
