Shoes-day Tuesday

 

Hey there!

How long has it been since I’ve done a Shoes-day Tuesday post?  Too long. Pretty sure I said that the last time I did one too.  Apparently I need some new writing material so I’m not repeating myself.

Anyway, Tuesdays are a rather ho-hum day so it’s always fun to spice it up with a new pair of shoes, right?

It’s also fun to spice up an otherwise boring outfit with a patterned shoe, right?

Case in point

 

 

 

Black Limited pants, pink BCBG cap-sleeve sweater, NY&Co long necklace.  Basic.  Work appropriate.  And dare I say, boring!

Enter in fun shoes:

Thanks to Shop It To Me, these popped up in one of my Sunday personal shopping emails. The $39 price tag made them a must buy (on sale from $79).  Nine West has been having fantastic sales on many of their shoe styles including this one, the Rocha.  I just got rid of my nude Nine West that were also Rocha and wore them into the ground.

And the added bonus is that these remind me a lot of a patterned pair of blue/grey/purple Nine West pumps I had about 8 years ago that I still miss!

Now I just need a new pair of shoes to jazz up my Wednesday…ha!

Are you a fan of the patterned or multi-color shoe?

What would make your Tuesday (or soon to be Wednesday) better?  I’d like a big ol’ piece of vanilla cake with a light layer of vanilla frosting and sprinkles.  Random I know.  But I want it.

PS Thank you for your kind words on my blonde hair. I’m getting more used to it each day

Shoes-Day Tuesday: sandal booties, to buy or not to buy?

Hey there

Monday was a sloooow day for me.  I started the day with some Skinnygirl yoga before work and managed to squeeze in a cardio session once Zach got home and took over with the Bean.  Sadly I negated both by having one too many spoonfuls of cookie butter (damn you Trader Joe’s).

Thanks to Shop It To Me, I found these adorable shoes that I’m still contemplating purchasing:

I’m totally drawn to sandal booties and love these Max Studio ones with the asymmetrical cutout and zipper/button back.  Too cute, right?

And the price is great to boot (pun intended). 

The only downside is that there isn’t free shipping and free returns.  I get so spoiled with Endless.com (and the like) and really abhor the idea of having to return a pair of shoes via traditional methods.  Clearly not a huge deal, but it’s put me on the fence with them.

So the question is…

To buy or not to buy?
