Wicked Witch of the West (or is it East)?

When I picked out this outfit, I knew I wanted to pair these boots with this pinafore. But, there was a gap between dress and boots, and I’d made that mistake once before! It was hot the day of the photo shoot so I really didn’t want to go all the way back upstairs to take off the boots and find a pair of tights that would work. Then, I had an AHA moment! I would just put on a pair of my husband’s dress socks. They only had to cover those few inches, right?

Don’t these boots look like witches’ boots? Yes? No? I think it’s the heel.

When I pulled this pair out of his sock drawer, I knew I had a hit! Some of the stripes matched the pinafore exactly! So, I pulled them on my lady size feet…the heel is halfway up my ankle! And, in theory, I thought they looked cute! (Violet Chachki and GottMike disagree on whether or not cute is a good thing!) But, in looking at the pictures, all I can think of is the Wicked Witch of the East…she’s the one the house dropped on, right?

Take a look at these boots! I am developing quite the love for L’Artiste boots! These are the Water Lily boots in the green colorway. It’s amazing how a pair of men’s dress socks can make a pair of boots a scosh tight. I wouldn’t be able to walk in these wearing these socks…le sigh! Because even though I think “Wizard of Oz” when I see the pictures, I kinda dig the look! And, for as high (for me anyway) as the heels are, these boots truly are made for walking!

It holds the key to unlocking unimaginable power, but also holds the potential for great harm. The book introduces us to a diverse cast of characters, all of whom are drawn to the book for different reasons. There is Nora, a young woman who discovers she has inherited magical abilities from her ancestors.

Would you wear a pinafore?

There are some who would question whether or not a 63 year old woman should even be wearing a pinafore. But, this 63 year old woman loves the look, and she’s going to wear it! This dress…ah, I love it. It’s the perfect shade of lavender…grey/blue undertones, lightweight, big pockets, and can be worn as a dress, duster, long vest. I like the blanket stitch details around the neckline and armholes. Those are shell buttons, too! It’s also as comfortable as an old nightgown!

The big plant is an upright jumbo elephant ear aka alocasia. I’m so happy it’s finally growing! That’s my infamous weed plant…not that kind of weed…it just started growing so I twined it around the armillary. I like the wildness of my front garden. Those marigolds came up voluntarily this spring. The begonias are in a cement urn you can just barely see. Sprinkled in are several different caladium plants in varying shades of greens and pinks. I also love to make rock cairns. When we first moved here, I would scour the part of the neighborhood that was being developed for interesting rocks. Nigel wants to glue them together. I think part of the fun of a cairn is finding those perfect balances so the rocks stay put.

My neighbors think I’m nuts, I’m sure! Between the plants and the posing…oh, can you imagine what’s being said behind the curtains?

Tightly, and I mean tightly cropped close up of the embroidery on my tee…you don’t want to see the neck…believe me!

She embarks on a journey of self-discovery as she learns to harness her powers and embrace her true identity. Then, we meet Simon, a troubled teenager who finds solace and escape in the pages of The Book of Magic. Through magic, he is able to transform his own life and confront the challenges he faces. The novel also follows the stories of other characters, such as Olive, a grieving widow who seeks solace in the book's spells, and Hayden, a historian who becomes obsessed with uncovering the book's origins and secrets. As the characters' lives intertwine, they are forced to confront their own fears and desires, and make difficult choices about how to use the magic they have discovered. The Book of Magic explores the consequences of wielding such power and raises questions about the true nature of magic itself. Throughout the novel, Hoffman’s lyrical prose brings the magical elements to life, transporting the reader into a world where anything is possible. The book is filled with rich descriptions and compelling characters that draw the reader in and keep them engrossed until the very end. The main idea of The Book of Magic is the transformative power of magic and the choices we make when faced with such power. It examines the idea that magic, like life itself, is a double-edged sword and that it is our responsibility to use it wisely. The novel reminds us that true magic lies within ourselves and that we have the power to shape our own destinies..
