Well friends, I have some potentially horrible news.
Like really terrible.
{Before you start to worry, please note I’m exaggerating}
But this news is really just, well, sad.
My feet are swelling 
And you know what swollen feet mean? Really uncomfortable shoes-day. Sigh. All my beloved shoes are starting to hurt my feet just a wee bit. [Let’s be real..all my shoes always hurt a little, but this is like end-of-day-walking-around-a-city-for-10-miles-in-4”-heels discomfort). Yeah. Bummer.
I think it hit home yesterday when I donned a new pair of shoes to work.
In the outfit is a loose cami from NY&Co along with a gold blazer also from NY&Co, which is paired with a Gap jean pencil skirt (non-maternity and fully buttoned..woohoo for small victories! 
).
The shoes are Jones New York purchased from DSW.com at for $69.95 (down from $89, and I had an add’l $10 GC). I quite like the shoes and their slightly shimmery gold color and lattice-like cut-outs, but sadly, they do pinch my (swollen) feet a bit. Sigh.
Here they are up close (via DSW and below):
So there you have it: Tragedy Tuesday Shoes-Day. Oh whatever will I do if my feet don’t go back to normal size. Massive blog giveaway for size 7.5 shoes???
What do you do with shoes you love, but don’t quite fit anymore?
Are you a fan of the jean pencil skirt?
Love those shoes! If you don’t like them, you know where to send em!! I have a few shoes that are too big for me if you want to do a trade.
That may be the case if my feet don’t go back down A!
I like the skirt – very cute
I’m down to 2 pairs of pants I can wear without buttoning… but that’s something!
I am hoping this is only temporary and my feet shrink back down after the baby’s born!
my heels are definitely starting to feel a little…. small
I didn’t think it’d happen so soon Kat, did you?
I would cry.
For days.
Just the thought of not being able to wear some of my favorites…
too awful.
I may cry when I really can’t wear them anymore
Adorable! I’m a 7.5 if they need a babysitter
Haha, babysitter, cute
I happen to wear a 7.5. Weird…
Love those shoes! Save em for later
Another 7.5er — maybe my shoes will find a good home afterall
I’ve never really grown out of shoes, but it’s always tragic when a pair hits the dust. The leather on the side of some peep toe brown heels I used to always wear to work tore a few weeks ago. I still can’t bring myself to throwing them in the trash… sigh…
Are the fixable at all Amy? Cobbler help?
Loving that skirt, quite cute!
Those shoes are great too, just hold onto them for later
Or maybe I’ll find someone that’s a size 8 to stretch them out!
I LOVE those shoes! If it makes you feel any better, I have gone up 1.5 sizes in running shoes. Apparently its totally normal for people who have really high arches because they flatten out, but I havent even had kids yet. Pretty sure my feet are going to be gigantic when I get pregnant.
I didn’t know that Leah. I have nearly flat feet so hopefully mine want get too big!
I would be in total denial and try to convince myself that they fit. Then I’d probably cry a little.
I could end up doing the squish until they fit for awhile…in the morning I’m good..at night, not so much
Your are too cute!!! Love these shoes!!
I never wear heels due to my large body {almost 5’10!} and I wish I wasn’t a giant when I rocked cute shoes like this!!!!
xxoo
You can still rock them Kris! Tall is hot!
Those are cute shoes! If shoes don’t fit, I tend to keep them for like 6 months and then give them to Goodwill. Right now, I’m only wearing comfy shoes, but thankfully I work in a gym and it doesn’t matter what type of shoes I wear!
I never thought sneakers would feel so good
ack, that really stinks girlfriend, I can’t imagine getting a whole new shoe wardrobe…but what a good excuse to shop! I am a size 7.5
And I like an excuse to shop, that’s for sure!
LOVE the whole outfit! You are always so stylish
& Ahhh!! What are you going to do about the feet swelling?! I guess there’s really nothing you can do- all part of the fun
I’m just going to roll with Holly..until I’m forced to buy new shoes
I love the skirt! I can barely walk in heels now…I can’t imagine with a bebe…it reminds me of Mariah Carey almost full-term and still in heels!!
The height isn’t so bad..it’s the swelling :-/
Love the outfit and those shoes! AH! I have a pair of faux-snakeskin green heels that somehow shrank over a period of time! I FINALLY put them in a donation bin. *Tear*
Boo — tossing a cute new pair of shoes is the worst! (I have some faux green snakeskin pumps I love)
Oh nooooo! Tragic. I’m sure your lil feet will bounce back. No worries! (PS: Cute outfit… as usual
)
Thanks Tiff!
Oh no…really terrible! I’m j/k, do not worry, your feet will be back to normal soon, after the baby is born. This might be a good opportunity to buy new shoes! That’s the positive right?
I’m size 7.5, I’m all for a giveaway.
I use pencil skirt a lot for work and normally they sit high up on waist because I like those kind of design and love Banana republic skirts, which are usually pencil skirt styles.
Let’s hope so Lea, otherwise that giveaway will become very very real!
Too funny – Tragedy Tuesday Shoes-Day
I always say if my shoes don’t hurt they probably aren’t cute enough
Maybe its just a phase? My best friend didn’t get swollen feet for both her babies but she delivered early for both of them so who knows – i’m totally loving those shoes though even if they hurt
Haha, I live by that motto in some ways too!
I’m a 7.5!!!!!! haha I hope it’s a giveaway
I just bought some sweet kicks. I’ll have to post a picture tomrrow!!!
Shoes don’t fit me right since pregnancy. But I’m not a size larger either. I think I just need to buy a contraption to stretch them out a bit around my toes. Try that maybe?
On the bright side, if your feet don’t go back to their normal size, at least you would have a fully justified reason to go on an all-out shoe shopping spree bonanza
oof! Those shoes look so painful! I always avoid wearing heels unless I absolutely have to, even though they do make my legs look awesome.
Love those shoes! They are really cute. I’d be so sad if my favorite shoes didn’t fit me anymore
You poor thing!!! The feet will go back! I luckily didn’t swell until my last few weeks…that was prob because I lived in sneakers and slippers! You have all these gorgeous shoes to sport everyday…which can add to the cause. Ugh,..what us women do for fashion
Your feet don’t look swollen if it’s any consolation!!!
My mom has this amazing shoes collection. You guys would get along. I am borrowing a hott pair for HLS you will be proud
