Because these Kate Spade's are calling my name!


Alas I already have black oxfords that I got last year from DSW and they are serving me well (I am even wearing them today!)

Splish Splash!

I got an awesome deal at DSW on a pair of Sperry Rain Boots (in Winter White!), that I had been eye-ing for months at Nordstrom.

Yay Sales!

It's time for another shoe casualty.

Black Franco Sarto's... approximately 1.5 years old (originally purchased at DSW). Yeah ... I managed to walk through the inner sole.. and now nail heads are exposed!! i would guess that i wear these shoes to work an average of 1.5 days per week (even in the summer).

crazy! but this is an excellent example of why you can never have enough pairs of black shoes...

Today we are talking shoes!

Specifically career shoes. Being close to 5'1'' I love my high heels...especially in the office... the few inches really helps me feel like everyone is not looking down at me. So about 18 months ago I started my job in SW DC, where I commute by train and walk about 2-3 blocks to and from the office. FIrst day I wore pointy-toed-high-heeled shoes... and I didn't think I was going to make it back to my car, because my feet hurt soooooo bad. Needless to say my highest heels went to the back of my closet... and I started wearing lower heels and flats, because I refuse to do the tennis shoe with professional attire thing.

Well this past weekend I had a brilliant idea -- I would buy cheap ballet flats at DSW in a variety of colors ( I already had white, so I got black and grey) and take my heels in my huge purse and change at the office.

I only wish I had thought of it sooner!

But... Monday I discovered the brown flats I bought last year... had two holes in the heel (see picture). I couldn't believe it... these shoes aren't even a year old! So now I have to buy another pair of brown flats .
