Pink jewels...

Cindy asked for a picture of my pink jeweled shoes that I bought at Marshalls during my last retail therapy session - here you go!



I've worn them twice already :)

I just love J. Crew...

Found these on the sale "rack" at J. Crew (.com ) tonight...

I think I have a pair of espadrilles like this from last year... they might even be these same ones but I can't find them. In fact, I can't find several pairs of shoes from last summer. I think there might be a bin of summer shoes of mine (and who knows what else) mixed in with the Christmas and other holiday bins. I hate the storage area in our basement... I call it the "bug area." Needless to say I am not very motivated to go searching for the missing bin - yet - I'll bet when I am frantically searching for the "shoes that go with this outfit" one day this soon I will get the courage to brave the bugs. Right now I can't muster the energy and these were on sale!

These cuties however are NOT on sale so they did not make it into my shopping cart... yet. Look how cute the crabs are! Do you think Mr. would want these for Father's Day... in a size 8?

These are also not on sale but the pink/orange ones that I have are too darn cute - so if they make it to the sale rack any time soon they are coming home with me.

PSA

I don't know about you but I love to wear shoes without socks but hate that sticky feeling I get after an hour or two of walking around. So I was wear peds - you know what peds are, right? Peds are those socks that barely cover the bottom of your feet and in some cases they can't be seen - in other cases they peek out and more often then not they full on show - especially with ballet flats. I hate seeing the ped but I hate sticky feet even more. So what's a girl to do? I tried the old school Dr. Scholl inserts but talk about ugly.

And then I thought I found what I thought was the answer to my dilemma with the new (well not new anymore) Dr. Scholl's Self Expression Insoles. These seemingly harmless shoe inserts appeared to be the answer to my sticky feet situation. I bought 6 pairs and stuck them in all of my favorite ballet flats and all was good. All was good until I decided I wanted to take replace them with new clean ones that is. This is when I discovered they don't come out. I tried to pull them out of my Tory Burch ballet flats and not only did the sticky not come off - the sticky started to pull out the actual shoe insole.

Not good - not good at all. My Tory Burch, my MeToo, my J.Crew classics - all of them - are now ruined. So if you were tempted - just don't. Stop before your peel and stick. And if I can save one pair of cute shoes from demise then my work is done and I can live happily ever after.
