I’m Wearing My Brand New Shoes

by //

Happy September! Hope you’re enjoying today. Hope you’re excited for all the fall goodness that lies ahead. September just means it’s almost time for the leaves to change colors and get a bit cooler. Weee!

So, if you follow me on twitter you would know that I got a great deal on 2 pair of shoes this week. I mean, these two pair cost under $50! Isn’t that a steal!

Pair #1

BCBGeneration Women's Kassidia High Heel Platform Sandal

I actually need some help! Do you think the top ones will transition into fall? It seems like I’m wanting to wear fall clothes, but it’s still so hot out, so I was thinking they’d be a perfect “not boot weather yet, but at least it’s dark” shoes. What do you think? I have not been a girl who has worn tights with open toe shoes in the past, but I’m open to a fresh start with these amazing shoes. What do you think? Would they work with tights?

Also, how long do the pants need to be that I wear them with. I understand how to wear them with skinnies, but what about regular pants? I think they’d work to be a bit higher because they have so much fun detail to show off, but how short is too short?

Pair #2

Jessica Simpson Women's Matine Flat

So, I don’t normally wear flats in the summer because my toes like to be free. Therefore, I thought these would be perfect fall and spring shoes! What do you think? I feel like they’ll be really versatile and go with most everything.

I’ve been wearing both pairs around today to make sure I like them and feel comfortable in them. (The heels are actually amazingly comfortable. I think I could walk around quite a bit before I get mad at them!) But I am not ashamed to take stuff back either. Think I should keep them?

New Shoes

Now, I’ll leave you with this song by Paolo! This song makes me want to buy new shoes everytime I hear it! Maybe I’ll just go put on the ones I just bought. Yippee!

High Heels

These heels are 5 inches tall. By far the tallest pair I own. And they’re amazing! I’m not to the point yet where I could walk around the mall with them, but I must say they are pretty comfy. And since wearing them, I have been wearing heels everyday! I don’t remember the last time I was excited to wear heels. They make me walk taller, I stand straighter, they make me look better. Oh, I just love heels. Do you?

Bob and I went out on Friday (and by out I mean we left the house) and I was itching to wear these shoes! I love them!

My first non 30/30 post! Yea! It was so fun getting dressed today. I felt like I had so many options! Ha! And you can’t tell in these pics, but I painted my nails today! Don’t get used to this though. Usually I try to paint them and they get wrecked within 10 minutes or chip the next day and I just give up until inspiration strikes me to try it again.

I got this top from H&M about 2 months ago. I saw someone with it and they couldn’t find their size. Lucky for me it was my size! It was the only one left too! I tried it on and my sister told me I had to get it, so I did. And as much as I am enjoying this breezy, light, summery top, it’s not my favorite part of todays outfit. My favorite part is the shoes!

I bought my first pair on Tuesday and they are amazing. Let me tell you about them. They are hand made by 3 of the most amazing girls! Katelyn, Megan & Mattison make up KM2 Shoes. These girls have been personal friends of mine for a very long time and I am excited about what they’re doing. These shoes are seriously hot and make my legs look incredible. I’ve never had shoes that made my legs look like these do. They’re 3 of the most amazing girls I know and 10% of all their sales go to stop human trafficing! What an inspiring cause.

Check out these beauties! And I promise to get more, better photos. but you can also visit their site!

Yeah, I think you’ll be seeing a lot of these babies.

You know what’s so funny about these too? As I was trying them on I told a friend of mine that they’re a little too advanced for me. I don’t normally wear anything with this much bling. But she said, “Linda, if you just wear these people won’t question you. You can do whatever you want because these shoes make you look like you know what you’re doing.” At first I was thinking, “yeah right!” But then I realized that I think that about others who are wearing one awesome piece, so I got the shoes and I’m looking forward to looking like I know what I’m doing! Ha!
