- The shoe matches an outfit we have in our closet.
- We buy the shoe to potentially match a future clothing purchase.
- We bought it because it was cute.
- We bought it becase it made us feel sexy and powerful when we put it on.
- We bought it on sale.
- We bought it off the clearance rack and can't take it back.
Now, I'd like to personally link a shoe to each of these reasons and talk about how each said shoe has changed my life (or wardrobe).
1. This is a shoe I bought because it would definitely match something I already had in my closet. It matched one green shirt that I bought and that justified me getting the shoe as well. I haven't worn it that much, but it's still cool to pull it out every once in awhile:
2. This is a definite example of a shoe bought to potentially match something in my closet someday. Now, for what it's worth, this shoe has had proud moments at TJES and as the unforgettable Amy Winehouse shoe:
3. I bought this shoe because it was so cute. It went well with a pair of black Bermudas and a cute black sundress this summer. Also pairs nicely with jeans:
4. I definitely bought this shoe because it made me feel powerful and sexy when I put it on. I had no idea what I would wear this shoe with...but I knew I had to have it. It was gorgeous! Now, after over a year of wear, this shoe probably should be retired (it's old) but it's just so fun to wear with jeans that I can't come to grips with parting with it:
5. I bought this shoe on sale and thought it was cool, but once again didn't know what I'd wear it with. After I wore it this summer, my sister told me she looked at the same shoe and asked if she could borrow it. Guess it was worth it:
6. And the last shoe, bought off the clearance rack (for $16.97, down from $68.00!), was not returnable. It's a Chinese Laundry shoe, and I wanted a t-strap sandal all summer. Was it worth it? YES! I wore this a ton:
My ode to shoes. There are plenty more in the closet. Hope you enjoyed just 6 pairs!
