Shoes-day Tuesday!

Hey there, Shoes-day Tuesday does exist!

Today I’m featuring a shoe every woman needs: the red pump.  I was without this much-needed shoe for several months since I went on a shoe purging spree and threw these red pumps away (they lost the rubber heel stop).   So when Zach and I visited the Gilroy Outlets after Thanksgiving, I honed in on Nine West for some classic, easy, every day type red heels.  Seek and you shall find:

These are a 7.5 and run true to size (as do most Nine West shoes, I’ve found).  The 3.5″ heel makes them quite comfortable for a 9+ hour day as well.  As for cost, because of the sales, I don’t quite remember, but I want to say I got them for about $50.  This style goes on sale quite a bit, so it’s pretty easy to avoid the $89 price tag if you keep your eyes peeled.

This is a way I’ve worn the shoes to work (black Limited pants, striped Gap sweater):

And on another note, I picked up a new scent.  I really wanted to get the Hanae Mori again (I’m nearly out), but Zach convinced me to get something new.  So I returned to Burberry Brit, though this time I got Sheer.  It’s slightly more floral than I’d normal get, but it’s fun and good for daily wear.

Favorite  color for a heel?  I have to say red or nude

Favorite scent? Vanilla, without a doubt

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
