Suede & Spikes [Days 10 & 11]

So yesterday I did not have the day off but we did go in 2 hours late which was very nice. It gave me a chance to cook a nice breakfast for Dan and I and to also straighten my hair. [something that does not happen often] I decided since I only had a 4 hour work day I would wear some heels since my options for flats are becoming limited, or so I think, I haven't actually counted. This whole challenge is a guess. Anywho, I wore rain boots there and changed at work because there was no way I was trekking through the snow and ice in heels. These heels I found at a thrift store but I know they are a target brand, and I can't fully remember but I'm pretty sure they still had their new tags on them. I have worn these a lot and I really like how they give my feet an elvish look. The suede is getting kind of ruined though :/

I wore my flats today without first wearing rain boots to work. I was pretty brave to do this because there is still a decent amount of snow on the ground. By the time I got in the building at work, my feet felt as though I had walked barefoot across the snow that's how cold they were. But I digress. These spikey beauties I found when I was once again browsing Kohls.com at work (hopefully no one I work with reads this..) I loved them instantly. I still like them but I did have an incident of tripping over myself and kicking myself in the ankle which caused one of the spikes to gauge a piece of my skin off and bleed, so ever since then I've been more cautious when wearing these. When you buy shoes with spikes I guess that's just a risk you are willing to take.

Day 3 - Booties

Today my shoe of choice was one that I received as a birthday gift for my 18th or 19th birthday. My mom bought them for me from Kohl's. (I picked them out) They are the Candies brand and when I first saw them I thought they were rocker-esque and that they'd look cute with a lot of outfits. I don't wear them as often as I thought I would because sometimes I think my feet look weird in them, but I'm weird about stuff like that. They are very easy to walk in and only slightly uncomfortable around the toe area.

I wore them with black sweater tights and a dress to work today and got some compliments on them :) 

In other big news, today Hubby upgraded our TV from a 32 inch to a 46 inch. It's gonna be like watching at a movie theater now compared to before. So that will be fun to enjoy after he sets it all up.

Until tomorrow!

The 21 Day Shoe Challenge

I consider myself to be a shoe-aholic and often times I buy a pair of shoes for an outfit or just because I think they are cute and the outfit will come later. Then those beautiful shoes will sit in the closet, waiting for a chance to be shown to the world. I find myself wearing the same shoes every day. Even though I have boxes upon boxes, I am drawn to the same boring black pair or opt for my uggs when I'm not working. In the wintertime, I will admit it is more difficult to be daring with shoes on days with inclement weather. Having recently slipped off of icy stairs, I can tell you I am very glad I was wearing my flat boots that day instead of something fancier. With that all being said, I have challenged myself to wear a different pair of shoes every day for the next 21 days. And to keep myself accountable I will publish a record on my blog (and to help me remember what shoes I've already worn!) I did not count my shoes in advance so I'm not sure if 21 days of no repeats is even possible (I'm sure it is close to possible if it isn't). So here are my rules:
1. Every day wear a different pair of shoes out somewhere (i.e. I can repeat shoes as long as I've worn a different pair somewhere in public that day)
2. Blog and post pictures of shoes daily

And that's all I've come up with so far!
So today being the first day of the challenge and my feet feeling all refreshed and ready I decided to wear a pair of heels to work. I don't normally wear heels because I'm on my feet a lot and I like to save them for days when I'm not there a full day or I know I won't have to walk all over the place.

This blush colored pair of Lauren Conrad pumps were purchased at Kohl's sometime in the summer of 2012. I bought them for a bridal shower that I was helping host and blush was one of the bride's colors. Since that event, the other most notable place these babies have been was Atlantic City for the celebration of my best friend's 21st birthday. I love the soft suede feel of them and the pretty girly color. Today at work I paired them with gray pants and a white button down blouse.
