Shoes-Day! Grey boot repeat, now and then

Hey hey!  How goes it?

I’m still pregnant.  And yes, I may just remind you every single day until I finally give birth. 

Aches and pains are the name of the game and I really need to listen to my body and stop overdoing it.  Oye.

Anyway, thank you for your sweet comments on Sawyer’s nursery.  We are so ready to introduce him to his room and to the world

Moving on, it is Tuesday Shoes-day after all.  And while I’m not showing anything new, I do want to highlight some of my fave boots. 

When I took the picture, I realized that I was wearing a nearly identical outfit just over 1.5 years ago and thought it would be amusing to see the changes.

Dec 10 2011, ~38 weeks pregnant, 25 pounds over high end of happy weight: Banana Republic grey/white striped sweater, Motherhood Maternity skinny jeans, and Colin Stuart grey suede boots via Victoria’s Secret. 

April 2010, not pregnant, ~3lbs under low end of happy weight:  Same sweater, same boots, and Paris Blues skinny jeans.  Good lord, I look so much thinner – will I ever get back to that???

Have you ever looked at pictures of the same outfit separated by many months or years?  What were your initial thoughts?

Any hot new shoes you’ve seen at Victoria’s Secret?

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!

Hi friends – are you sick of Shoes-Day Tuesday yet?  I hope not, because I happened to have bought a few pair of new shoes in the last few weeks.  But it’s not my fault.  I swear.  My Magic 8 Ball made me

I kid of course, but I do remember having one of these and being quite pleased when the answer suited my needs.  When it didn’t I’d throw it against a wall keep asking until I got the answer I wanted.

Okay back to the shoes.

I’ve had a GC from Victoria’s Secret burning a hole in my wallet since February, so when their shoe catalogue came, I instantly knew what I had to have:

Blue shoes?  Heck, why not.  I have blue suede pumps, and my blue peacock pumps, but no strappy blue wedges.  Therefore I had to buy. 

I kind of think they are fantastic.  The straps hurt my pinky toe a bit, but no pain, no gain, right?

I think these were originally $55, but were marked down to $29 (I tried to check, but it appears they are sold out).

I paired them with a work outfit (on a Thursday before an off-Friday, hence the jeans):

The top is by Kenra (I think) and from Marshalls and the jeans are 7 for all Mankind.  Gold and silver link necklace from Macy’s. 

What do you think of blue shoes?

Are you an avid VS shopper?

Fess up, did you ever make decisions based on the Magic 8 Ball?
