Thursday's Shoe Story

It's such a strange transition that my closet has taken...from tons of heels that were way too high and way too skinny, to sensible, comfortable flats that I can wear teaching, or just out running errands.

slowly packing up the bags of donations to goodwill, and replacing (of course...can't let the supply get too low!) I came across these, super comfy and I think super cute shoes at Target...oh Target, the store I need to stay far, far away from!

They are a good option when closed-toed shoes are necessary, and their neutral color makes them match just about everything :)  although, realizing that this is not the best photo...since they pretty much blend into the carpet...oh well!

Thursday's shoe story .:. rain, rain .:.

after about a year of walking around on rainy days with soggy feet, and cursing myself for not buying rain boots...I caved...and look at the adorableness that sits on my feet on those days!!

so they never went on sale, but they are worth every penny...plus I found a gift card...they are at Target!  go, free your feet from the soggyness! 

Thursday's shoe story .:. is it warm yet? .:.

if you know me at all, one of the things you probably know is how much I adore the snow...I love to watch it fall during the day, I love to be stuck at home getting lots of work done because it is snowing, I love to make warm food like soup when it is snowing out, and I love when the sky gets dark, watching the snow flutter down in the street lights...

so why, you might ask, am I looking forward to warmer weather so much?? 

because Old Navy has adorable new sandals, and I can not WAIT to wear them!!

when I went gift card shopping recently, I got myself this pair...

maybe I'll just wear them around the house for now...until I can wear them outside :)

because you can never have too much glitter...

ahh shoes, one of my many weaknesses...but I've been pretty good in the recent months to curtail my urge to buy multiple pairs of shoes...although I really could use a good pair of rain boots...but I digress...

so this Thursday's shoe story isn't about shoes I own...but rather shoes I feel like I should...

hello...they have glitter on them...like everything else in my life (not all on purpose)...super cute new shoes at Payless...can I resist??

*I'm a size 9, should anyone feel compelled to get them for me...

old photo Thursday

in honor of my birthday...a flashback to 6 years ago- these are actual photographs that we scanned...man, that was a long time ago!

happy 23rd birthday to me!  man we look so young!  good times with good friends...

Thursday's Shoe Story

for a long time I rebelled against the ugg-ly boots...I think it was the whole worn by all the celebrities...in California...in July that got to me...also the cost...they looked comfy, but I really couldn't justify spending over $100 for a pair...

but then back in December, when I was home in NJ for Christmas, I happened to stop in Old Navy, where they had on sale...for $12...these boots...

I had tried on a few pair in Payless, and never really thought I could pull them off...I didn't have the right pants, they looked like they didn't fit...etc...


these were different though...they were like little clouds, little pillows for my feet...so very unbelievably soft and comfortable (not to mention the price was right!) so they were finally mine...

and now I wear them all the time, and I feel the weather starting to turn...it's going to be in the 50's this weekend, which means time to dust off the flip flops, and retire these boots till the fall...because you will never see me wearing them with shorts or a skirt...and if you do...you have permission to hit me :)

Thursday's Shoe Story

so they aren't technically shoes...but from the moment I get home, until I leave the house again, I live in my fuzzy black slippers...I've probably had a version of these slippers for the past ten years- probably since I left for college...and while I couldn't tell you what number pair I'm on- Mom, any guesses?- I probably will always own slippers like these...















maybe I should have foreseen cute, furry black cats in my future :)
