It’s a party!

Nothing better to perk a girl up than some good news and shoes.  Am I right?  (I’ll get to the good new when I get a more firm confirmation, ahem.)

Had to get up off my ass sometime!

Momma Kiss, my bestest new bloggy friend recommended I join the party over at Beth’s.  She’s having this great party where we all get to talk about shoes and who doesn’t love shoes.  Oh, and for the record, you east coasters and your Gabriel Brother’s can all kiss my ass.  I’m just saying.

Let me preface this all by saying, I have NEVER been very fashion savvy, just this year finally feeling like I’ve got a sense of what I can wear and what I shouldn’t.  That said, my shoes will surely show you that I’ve had a few glimpses of genius but perhaps a few seasons behind the times.  Please, a shoe intervention would be most welcome!

So last night I snapped some pictures of my faves in my closet.  I figured you didn’t need to see all the well worn old navy flip flops in the basket on the floor.  And due to the poor condition of my pedicure, I won’t be modelling any open toed sassiness.  It would not be pretty.

First up is a favorite pair of boots that barely get any face time outside the bedroom.  They are hot, for sure, but it’s really hard to wear red faux patent leather boots in public.

Next up is another pair that should get more love. I just think they are adorable, so cute I have them in brown too!

My real world friend is waiting for me to outgrow this next pair (via pregnancy).  I’m happy to report, the first one didn’t do it.  We’ll have to see about the next.  These are Carlos, by THE Carlos Santana.  I love everything that man does.  I love the kitten heel and the bow.  Bows, I have something for shoes with bows.

No, don’t say it, I know, these feet need a SERIOUS tan!

The past couple of years I’ve picked up some form of ballet slipper because they are so easy and comfortable.  This year’s pair is just too cute.  Now if I could find a coordinating purse!

But what I wear most of the time and in what I am most comfortable are a pair of these.  I probably have 4 of these guys hanging around.  Give me a month and I’ll be burning up the track with these:

Wow, that angle makes my legs look enormous.  Ouch!

I cheated a little and took a peek at Beth’s post before writing mine.  And was inspired.  So the Mad and I went to Nordstrom rack to see what we could scrounge up.  I’m desperate for some REAL leather sandals, they can be strappy, sturdy, sexy, whatever, just give me SOMETHING.

NOPE.  Not a darn thing I could bear to bring home.  I just didn’t need a pair of red gladiator heels or gold bead flipflops.  I hung my head and shame and came home.  Maybe I could find some good shoe porn on line.

But I tire too quickly and Mad’s bath is getting cold.  I’ll leave you with this:
