Shoes-Day! Black Guess maryjane repeats for Cirque

Happy Shoes-Day Tuesday!  Do you like my unnecessarily long title?  Good

You know, every know and then I go through phases where I want to stop shopping and really capitalize on what is already in my closet. I  found these shoes when I was planning my outfit out to see Cirque du Soleil last Friday.  In the process I found several other super cute shoes that could use some lovin’.

This is what I wore:

The shoes are black Guess mock marjanes with a peep-toe. If they were more comfy, I’d wear these all.the.time.  However, they push on my inside bone on my left food which makes for less-than-ideal long time wearing.  Oh well   I paired them with a black pencil skirt and one-shouldered satin top (via Fabrik that I bought 1.5 yrs ago and never wore). 

Let me talk about something else though.  I thought my outfit was appropriate for the theater.  I mean if you’re payin’ decent moola to go see a show, wouldn’t you dress up?  Apparently I  was one of the few people that thought so.  Many attendees were wearing casual jeans and hoodies (hoodies, I tell you!).  Ugh.  I was quite disappointed that people didn’t have the respect for the arts. Yeah I said it.  Just because the word “Cirque” is in the title, does not mean you are going to a circus with elephants and saw dust.  Sheesh.

But then again,  I’d rather be overdressed than underdressed.

What would you wear to a theater / performing arts show?

Do you prefer to be overdressed or under?

Shoes-Day! Taupe maryjane repeat and going brunette

The last day I showed off the shoes du jour was almost a year ago!  You can see that post here (and see me pre-preggers – ahh, the thinner times..haha)

Here are the shoes once again:

I always forget about these shoes for some reason.  Maybe it’s because they are not quite grey, and not quite fully taupe so they sometimes can feel like they clash.  When in fact, they are a great neutral!

And what’s also great is that because they are a size 8, they are a little bit kinder to my swelling feet

This is what I wore with them last Thursday:

For work wear, I wore this grey maternity wrap dress (made of a nice cotton jersey) and added a Victoria’s Secret cardi for a pop of color. 

Okay and since you asked, I’m showing you a photo of the new hair color, but gotta say this photo is not the most flattering, so I promise to upload something cuter later this week

Tell me, do you have shoes that you feel like just don’t go with anything?

What’s your go-to neutral color shoe?

Shoes-Day! Red peep-toe repeat

Shoes-Day Tuesday my friends and I’ve got a repeat for you.  I feel so much lighter and free after purging 9 pairs of shoes over the weekend that I actually want to make a dedicated effort to resurrect the shoes I don’t wear so often.

Like these:

I showed them off last year with a red tulip skirt and this time ‘round, you’re getting them with a pair of jeans:

If you notice that my outfits seem to be recycled more often, I attribute it to my diminishing repertoire of clothes do the growing belly bump.  These jeans still fit/button so I’ll be getting use out of them.  And of course the flowy shirt and open cardi also work great for camouflaging the mini-bump.

In the last month or so, I’ve purchased two pairs of shoes that I can’t wait to share on the blog, but I haven’t had an occasion or outfit for them quite yet, so stay tuned. 

Do you like to resurrect some of your neglected pairs of shoes?

Anyone want these Carlos Santana Maryjanes (size 7.5)? Will trade for blogger goodies
