Fire Your Flip Flops!!

Last week I tried out firing my flip flops, that is, I didn't wear flip flops or sandals.  I was a lot more successful than I thought I would be.  I only broke down on Wednesday and wore sandals because it was a clinical day for me and I took a nap and slept longer than I intended to.  I was running late so I found a pair of sandals and hurridly put them on.  This week I hope it goes over better!  I want to go all seven days wearing heels!  This will be difficult because I have two clinical days this week and I will have little time where I'm wearing regular clothes and not scrubs.

So for today I wore a pair of Nine West elestic espedrilles.  I got these on my vacation in August from a mall in NJ.  My luggage was lost for 26 hours and I HAD to go shopping.  The airline reimbersed me for my shopping which was the best part!  I love free things!!  I've worn thses shoes a handful of times and they really are comfortable to be in.  I thought for sure the rope sole would irritate my feet but they are actually very soft.  I wore them to work today and to run errands in after work.  I try to find things to wear with them all the time.  One of my favorite end of summer shoes!

Check back tomorrow to see if I am able to "fire my flip flops"!

Cognac Leather Cork Wedges

I bought these wedges last week at Target for $7!  What an amazing buy!!  I was so excited when I saw them, I snatched them up and went straight to the checkout!  I have been looking all summer for a pair of shoes this color.  They are perfect for just about everything.  I have worn them twice now, both times with a dress but I know they will do fabulous with anything.  I will be wearing them well into fall.  Super excited about that too!

So, today I wore them to class.  Got lots of compliments on them and the dress I wore them with.  I guess I looked very classy.  Ha ha ha!  After class I went to the fish store to get ghost shrimp with my boyfriend to feed the lion fish.  Sad I know, but he has to eat too.  Then I got gas for my car.  Thats about the extent of my day and all the excitement my cute wedges had.

The Un-Worn Shoes

So today I decided to wear a pair of shoes that have been in my closet for some time.  I took them down from the top of my closet and opened the box.  Inside is a pair of sling back pointed toe kitten heels that are a very light green with a woven look to the toe.  I pulled them out of the box along with the purchase receipt dated 2007!!  What have I been waiting on?!  I think about wearing these shoes often but can never think or find something that I'm happy with.  I just decided to wear them and I didn't care with what.  I wore them to work and that's it.  I guess I'm not used to wearing pointy toe shoes because they hurt my feet about an hour in.  Not fun since I had seven more hours to go.  I toughed it out and made it through.  I may never wear them again, sadly.  They are very cute!

I have been very bad about posting pics of the shoes with the post but, I promise I will start getting better.  I will take the pictures of all the shoes that I haven't posted and I will post them.  Promise!

T-Strap Mini Wedges

I bought these shoes a long time ago at Cato. They are cute and they don't hurt my feet. Plus they are low enough to not make me tower over everyone. Which I don't mind. I love being tall. I actually wish I were taller sometimes. But I digress, I loved these shoes so much I bought the same ones in pink! Ha ha ha!! I wear them to work all the time. They are perfect for that. After a few hours the bottoms of my feet get bruised feeling but its just because the sole is so hard. That don't mean I'm gonna stop wearing them!

I only wore them to work today. Sad but true. Story of my life now. All work and no play. But that's how I'm able to buy so many shoes!

Inventory

After going through my shoes and counting them it got me to thinking about the types and colors of shoes I do have and the types and colors I don't.  So, I took inventory and its just easier for me to tell you what I don't have.  Ha ha ha!  I do not have any animal print shoes.  Except a pair of heels that have a tiny patch of zebra at the heel.  Its hard for me to count those.  Other than that, no animal print!  I couldn't believe it either!  Next, I do not have anything blue, purple, or orange.  This saddens me because I love color.  Also, the only green shoes I have are only a light mint at the toe and I've never worn them.  Next, I only have one pair of flats.  I got rid of a lot of shoes at the beginning of summer and my flats were among those that were discarded.  Lastly, I don't have a pair of over the knee boots.  I have been searching for a pair for two winters now.  I will have a pair for this winter.  Had I typed this last week I could have added brown sandals to this list but happily they have been checked off the list.

So now I'm on the hunt to find the missing shoes that will complete my collection.  I already have a pair of army green strapy high heeled sandals in mind.  I also have my eye on some cute orange heels with a cork platform.  My search continues for blue and purple.  And, I have yet to find a pair of animal print that I like.  As for the over the knee boots, I can't wait to see what ShoeDazzle has in store this winter! 

Brown Leather Sandals

I bought these brown sandals at Cato on Wednesday I believe. I didn't have any brown sandals and these are very versatile and in for this summer so I just had to get them. I wore them today to the mall. Sadly I didn't buy anything because I spent my money on some bills. Boo! No fun being a grown up sometimes. Maybe next time I'll get something. I did have fun with my sister and my roommate. My sis bought some very cute jewelry from Forever 21 and my roommate found a dress for her engagement party at The Limited. I ate some Chinese food at the mall and went to an aquarium store and looked at some fish where my boyfriend bought some coral for the salt water tank. Busy day! I also wore these sandals on Friday. That was a fun day as well. I had a doctor appointment then headed off for a girls lunch where I had some fabulous cheesecake. After, we went to the movies to see "Horrible Bosses". Can you say halirous?!

I'll see you in the next shoe post!

Gold Pumps

I bought these light gold pumps at Cato last spring. I bought them because they are very fresh and springy looking. And i wore them to a wedding soon after I bought them. I really like them and I've only worn them a few tines because I forget that I have them. I wore them today with a bright red jersey knit dress. Sadly like always I was only able to wear them to work. But I rocked those prissy little shoes!
