Fashion Friday: Shoe Happiness

So I was out yesterday and I saw the strangest thing...a girl wearing one snow boot and one tennis shoe! At first, I admit I thought it was pretty funny and weird...BUT the more I thought about it the more I realized that this girl was probably attempting to solve her own personal shoe dilemma that morning. Not sure of which pair of shoes to wear...so she chose to wear one of each! ;-) I say that's pretty creative and will probably work as long as you aren't deciding between one high heel and one ballet flat...otherwise you will be walking kind of funny all day! :-D

Okay, on a more serious note...I am having a shoe dilemma of my own. For my birthday, one of my closest friends gave me the best gift ever! A gift card to DSW (Designer Shoe Warehouse)!
If you have never shopped at their store...well sadly you have been missing out! This is my all time favorite shoe store and not just because they have a wide variety of cute shoes (a definite must have for any shoe store) but because combined with their already low prices and their rewards program (totally free to become a member)...a shoe lover like myself can snag a ton of shoes without breaking her bank account. :-) If there isn't one in your area...don't worry because you can bring the shoe shopping to your own home...check out their website at www.dsw.com.

Anyway, back to my shoe dilemma....so now with the gift card I can buy shoes for free (I so love gift cards!)...only problem is I cannot make up my mind. I am torn between 3 pairs of shoes at the moment and a cute handbag...so feel free to lend me some advice.

The first pair are a cute pair of Dr. Scholl's ballet flats (I know you're thinking...don't they make like orthopedic looking shoes?? But these are cute I promise.) that I was thinking about getting as an extra pair I can wear to work. I am working part time in retail these days (aside from all the studying) and being on your feet for hours on end can really hurt! So I bought a pair of Dr. Scholl's wedges to wear and I love them...super comfy...and was thinking that I might like a pair of flats so I can diversify my wardrobe a little bit.
 also available in zebra which I would also love to get but wouldn't be able to wear to work since we can only wear black. This really stunts my shoe creativity!


The second choice is a cute pair of heels by Ann Marino that I've been eyeing for a few months now...these would be to wear when I get a lawyer job.

  this is them in black....and I am leaning more towards the gray which is slightly lighter than this with a black bow.


Finally, the third pair is just a fun pair that I could wear anytime to a party or something...Unisa Detrick Polka Dot Slingback
  I love these and I have the cutest pink cocktail dress that these would go great with. I'm just not sure about the slingback because they always slip off my feet.

As for the handbag...it's a Nine West Ruffle Crossbody...I absolutely love it and I'm pretty sure I'm going to get it regardless of what shoes I decide to buy. :-) I just don't know if I should get it in black or pewter...

or

What do you think?


I don't think I'm ready to make a decision just yet on the shoes and really, there's no rush. So I will ponder on it some more...usually if I can't get a shoe off my mind...well then I have my answer...so stay tuned...
