When I was at Shoeffle with Corina in NOLA, we gawked at these shoes. They did not come in my size so I had to order them online! They are SO comfortable and SO cute. In the store they were nearly $100 but online at overstock.com they were half the price! The flower is made of grosgrain and the heel is also similarly wrapped. Allover taupe satin.

I will look over my budget and seriously consider purchasing the wellies I posted about yesterday...thank you for your opinions!!! :D Happy Friday!!!!

Justified Purchase?

So all night long the storms woke me up because lightning would light up my entire bedroom...

Regardless, I eventually got out of bed and got dressed for work. I drove my small SUV through the storm and this is what I saw when approaching downtown...



Does this weather justify these? Probably not but I sure love Hunter Wellies....


Sigh...I guess I'll hold off on purchasing...

Alright, who here is sick and tired of being in pain throughout the evening while wearing your "evening shoes"?! I can't stand it!! While you look fabulous standing still, everyone can't help but notice (especially if you blurt it out..) that you are in pain. Solution? Evening wedges! I will put them to the test during my summer weddings.

Lift me up, wedges.

Yes, by now I have purchased new shoes. After the big purge I even had empty space on my shelves! I went to DSW last week (typicaland spent $0. I'm serious. I went through the aisles and a few shoes caught my attention but I thought back to my challenge, and to those shoes that did not make the cut, and it made me re-think my shoe buying habits. In my head, I thought "would these be voted off?" and ended up walking out empty-handed.

About a week ago I visited Corina in N'Awlins and visited a cute boutique called Shoeffle in Covington, LA where I've been known to purchased a pair or two. I settled on two pairs in the store, one dressier wedge for Shellie's upcoming nuptials, and one summer wedge that will go with just about anything.
Here are the summer wedges:

The wedge is a little glossy, and I think made of cork, which makes them uber light and airy. The shoe is made of a shiny linen, studded to the wedge. I took the picture atop my new rug from my Ikea outting yesterday. It lives in my vanity/sink area between my closet and bathroom.

What do you think of the shoes? Has my challenge worked to only choose worthy shoes for my closet?
