Busted for Beige!

Unbeknownst to me, I have an attraction to beige/black/brown combination shoes...
My coworker Robin has teased me relentlessly about it and I think we should try to narrow these puppies down...I received some comments about two pairs in particular, that had viewers known of the second pair, they would have voted less friendly towards the first, etc. I am dueling these babies against each other now.


You know the drill, vote "Keep" in favor of keeping the left and "Toss" in favor of keeping the right.
The left are Day 11's Jackie O post. Low wedge, peep toe, these are completely comfortable.


The right are Day 12's Need for Tweed post. Tan leather, chocolate stitching, comfortable heel! I must confess I cannot decide which pair I prefer, so I'll let you!
And now for the shoes...

Vote "Keep" for the left pair and "Toss" for the right. My closet thanks you!!!

Right on Target.

Day 17...Ahh the spectator shoes. I have a few pair. Fashion is no spectator sport. Where have we spotted spectator shoes? The polo match in Pretty Woman. Julia Roberts exudes preppy-feminine at the match.


sans tights:

Today's shoes are from Target. While most times their shoes are not the highest in comfort, these are. I need a low heel today, and I remembered these had not been worn. Black and cream patent with a T strap closure on top. I wear them to work, to weddings, to church. One of my favorite blog posters has the same pair! I wish I had her closet...

Guten Tag!

Day 16...to define the title, it means "Good day!" in German. I spent a semester abroad in Austria and picked these babies up in Germany.

Today I donned literhosen (alright, not exactly, just tights :)) with my German spectators since the weather got unexpectadly chilly this morning. I bought them on the way to Oktoberfest back in 2003 in Munich, Germany. The heel is pretty zaney, as you can see from the side view photo. But there's something about spectator-type shoes. Sophisticated, professional, yet slightly vintage.

A Need for Tweed.

Day 12...Happy Friday! Taking it back to our Scottish roots, the Harris Tweed trend remains a classic to every wardrobe. And now for today's shoes:

The original name for the clothe was tweel, Scottish for twill. Production dating back to 1830 with the classic blazers and trousers, and moving into the new millenium with Nike's limited edition retro trainers, twill is likely to be present in every closet. A vest, a jacket, a pair of trousers, or those retro trainers!

Today's shoes go well with tweed. Naturally from DSW, I bought them right before starting work. Two inch heel, light tan leather, chocolate brown stitching and grosgrain bow. Worn with JCrew tweed ruffle kick skirt and JCrew blouse.

And I've discovered that I have a lot of nude colored shoes and most have been worn this week...I'll make sure to spice it up next week :)

O' the Foxy Flat.

Day 11 and O' my feet are tired. What would Jackie O' do on a Thursday? My co-worker though I should take a break from heels and rest my poor feet.




The brand is Linea Paolo from Nordy's, creamy colored patent leather, ever-so-slight wedge, chocolate grosgrain bow and piping, a slight peep toe. Worn with fanned kick pleet JCrew black skirt, chocolate JCrew cashmere sweater, and a little jewelry.

Jackie O' made her career as First Lady to dictate the fashion trends of her time. She stood out with the President and when flying solo. And she wore some fabulous shoes with those classic tweeds.
