I’m Wearing My Brand New Shoes

September 1, 2010


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!

    Well, Stacy and Clinton say 1/2 inch to an inch from the floor on pant length. But i can’t remember which one. But what do I know. I don’t wear heels!

    Hi there. I found your blog via What I Wore and I love your style! So cute. The shoes are adorable. I’d pair the heel with pants like these: http://www.jcrew.com/womens_feature/backbypopulardemand/PRDOVR~25507/25507.jsp. You are so cute! Keep up the good work! :)

    I might have to go buy some new shoes today! I love that song! For pants length, I wear mine long enough so that they brush the tops of my feet and don’t drag the floor. I love when you can’t see the whole shoe while standing up, but then you sit down and they make their full appearance – kapow!

    Thank you so much! I’m glad you’re enjoying it!
    My friend Tracy picked out a pair just like those JCrew pants at Gap! Looks like I need some cropped black pants!

    Get ‘em girl! And then let me know what you got! ha ha!

    I think both shoes are great options for the Fall. I was reading the comments and I was gonna say that maybe you can try the heels with some of the new Black pants from the Gap.

    Here’s an excellent post about the pant length issue.

    [...] rose a la mode is celebrating her new shoes (and for good reason!)… I’m swooning over both pairs. plus, she features one of my favorite videos about the joy of new shoes… is any feeling better? [...]

    I think you can wear sandals into fall as long as it isn’t raining, because who wants wet feet, and
    the chances of slipping and falling off these lovely,shiny shoes goes up about 200%.

    Ha ha! Good advice Michele!
