… and then I converted those necklaces into a lariat, a ring, and a pair of stud earrings. <\/p>\n

I didn’t wear this all together on purpose. It just happened. When I realized it, I was a little disappointed that my silver 2014 Opening Ceremony shoes didn’t fit the theme. I regretted having that thought yesterday, when a strap on those shoes snapped in a bad way.<\/p>\n

I guess I’m about to find out if a shoe can be redesigned too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
